There are many aspects of my final work that were thought through in roughs before being chosen. After I had my concept set, figuring out how to represent a graph without using numbers or a plain graph was difficult. In fact, I became so frustrated that I put my idea aside and intended to make something that would have been done before. My professor encouraged me
to stay on track. We discussed splitting my vote illustration into 1/3 and 2/3 to represent the difference in voters. After that, I knew that there had to be extra type added to really get the point across. I chose the Futura typeface because it was the inspiration for the graphic I had made. I then put the words voted and didn’t vote in the amount of points that mimicked the weight of the lines in the illustration. I then cut the O in half so that it read altogether and picked between varying shades of blue and red to get to the final poster.
