  My awareness poster was created to bring attention to the alcohol consumption issue. Everybody knows and feels the consequences of drinking, but continues doing it and seeing it as something fun. For my design, I took the concept of a brochure, where sellers usually put discounts and other special offers for their customers. However, in this case, people see the real "bonuses" of drinking alcohol. I chose the poisonous green color for the liquid to evoke associations with poison.  To draw the glass, I mostly used the "ellipse tool", and "rectangle tool" with no fill and 30px stroke, and later filled in the color with the "paint bucket tool". To create the curve, I drew a line with the "line tool", and later distorted it using "liquify". The "special offer" sign is also a "rectangle tool", but with curved angles (75px). When I added copy to the poster, I thought that it should have some background highligh...

       I have decided to create an awareness poster on the issue of alcohol consumption, and it being too common.      1. 1 In the first sketch, I tried to show that a person who drinks alcohol has less power and energy to socialize, and eventually ends up alone, sleeping.

Personally, I l...

     For this project, I chose the issue of quick dopamine excess in modern world. This is one of the problems I find important to pay more attention to, because we live in the times of endless entertainments, and life should be more than just that. When scrolling through social sites, watching TV shows, listening to music all the time, we keep receiving dopamine flashes, therefore feel good. Any time people feel boredom or start getting negative thoughts - they tend to replace it with another dopamine surge. At first glance, such activities do not seem to be harmful. However, not if we're dealing with excessive amounts.      I chose this image of Tony Montana from "Scarface" movie, because his  facial expression represents the exact feeling of "having too much". He could be looking like this at anything else besides drugs (as in the original frame). Especially, at something that used to give a lot of pleasure, but later stopped. Just like with an...
