(B1) POSTERS FOR RAISING AWARENESS FOR BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER BY LIMAZOR

-

 


  • Posters 
  • Black, white, neon pink and cool brown
  • Informational
  • First poster uses a human face
  • Second poster uses a more symbolistic approach 
  • Designed for May which is BPD awareness month
The first poster stood out to me, the use of the woman with the black and white make- up on effectively shows the black and white thinking of BPD. Raisa and I have already discussed how we could incorporate this, by making our work in black and white like the last two designs I have looked at. This is the typical poster that we see quite a lot of and comes back to the "sugar coated" media surrounding mental health. Any design promoting awareness for mental health and specific disorders is valued in my opinion and for me personally, however, I do think there is a gap for this "dark side" to mental health in order for people to truly understand what it is like for someone in that position.

Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand.
