1. Aspirational (pink) - I thought that this example was the best of the 3 posters, as I thought that the image communicated the type/concept quite clearly ('sharing ideas'). Design-wise, I thought that this poster had the most clarity - it was simple but didn't look bare. It's easy to read and follow, and the colour scheme is cohesive.
2. Personal (green) - This one is interesting as an image, but seems a little busy. I'm happy with the concept/word choice and I think this does reflect me personally. Although I enjoy the choice of colours, I understand that they aren't as easy to look at and could be viewed as clashing.
3. Professional (yellow) - I chose to place this poster last, as it feels slightly out of place compared to the others. Maybe it's the tone? The others are quite calm or strange, whereas this one is fairly humorous and loud. It could also be to do with the pose or action of the character perhaps?
Feedback
It turned out that the other group chose the same 'best' poster as me. Here are their comments…
- The illustration helps convey the point across well
- Well thought out choice of colours
- Nice composition
- Simple but effective
…similar to my own comments, they also highlighted areas of how the image was designed. I'm also glad that they thought the illustration coincided with the text effectively, instead of the type just acting as a hint to its meaning.
The fact they thought that the image was simple but effective is a good thing, and makes me think that sometimes the most immediate ideas are the most effective. Complex isn't always best.
