History Poster Project Essay:

My poster is about the sunglasses company, Oakley. On my poster there is a picture of a pair of Oakley sunglasses that was been altered in many ways, leaving the main outline of the glasses filled with a darkened cracked glass look. Oakley's have always been new and innovative, so that what I was going for with my design. On the right hand side there is a text box that describes how Oakley started, and some of there history. The title is rather large, but its to capture attention, while all three of these components are all flowing together, within the rule of thirds,as nothing is really in the center of the piece. The three main pieces of the poster are in the upper third, and on the right and left third lines. My poster shows elements of emphasis, alignment, contrast, balance, flow and repetition, through the design of the sunglasses, the background and the type used in both the passage and title. As well as through the layout and arrangement of the three main pieces that make up my poster. In my design both the typography and the image design are meant to resemble Oakley and all that they stand for. With a modernistic approach in both the design of the glasses and the type used in the heading, the entire poster represents the essence of Oakley, and how they've always created new, stylistic and modern sunglasses.
