Whilst researching for this project I came across a poster series by Sara Christensen. In these posters she uses the idea of fears to raise awareness of homophobia. This is done by using imagery and information about the fears to draw the attention of the viewer and then adding in information about homophobia. I think this concept works well because people are more likely to read an informational poster if they can relate to it and it illustrates that even though homophobia has 'phobia' in the name it is not one. I also like the unity that these posters have. They all have the same layout with the only thing changing being the information and colour. The minimalistic approach that she has taken within this poster series further draws attention and allows you to easily identify the subject of each design. The pale colours used for the backgrounds enable the text to be seen clearly which is something that I feel is important for both the discussion point of this series and impact of the posters themselves.
In terms of my poster series I defiantly think that this approach is one which would be effective in allowing me to get the information across in a way that is not too overbearing. It will also be important that my designs are not too information heavy as this could prevent people from wanting to interact with them.
