I’ve learnt how use creative process to express the message to the audiences and get their emotion echoing back through the Ihi Wehi Project.
A well-designed poster should let the audiences to understand the research easily and hear the promoting easily.
The first thing I’ve learned from the course is the topic research, I chose student poverty as my topic and scaled it down to more detailed aspect that focusing on bad shared renting condition of tertiary students.
The Pictionary and random
input-word/metaphor are very good way to associate the image with type, the only negative part from these is I sometimes feel hard as a foreigner that lack of culture acknowledgement, in future I may need to train myself with more reading and exploring.
I’ve created my strong image, facts and call of action quickly but struggled for the headline for quite a while, finally decided the main concept will be “Unwanted Flatmate” after discussing with Fay and Matt.
The rhetoric strategy used in my final two posters are juxtaposition and satire. I realized different visual language

may create a very different emotional reflect and I thought that’s another important lesson I learned from this course.
