100 THINGS// Poster// The Increase in Slavery

FINAL outcome // POSTER


Final ^^. I went through it with a friend and there is most defiantly no typos which means its a finish design!


Here is the finished bar chart and 'worst areas' illustrations. obviously one human representation represents 1 million people, child or adult. The worst areas in the world are in human trafficking and child labour.  
In conclusion to this poster I am happy most happy with legibility. I am also happy with the text used and the font. The only problem I face is I have only 1 week to finish everything. I must say that I think my time management has been messed around hugely due to other projects. It has been said that this is a brief which is very hard to fall behind on but fact is there is no excuse to not finishing it. I went to the print rooms and have changed my print times from this wednesday to Friday at 11am. This gives me an extra two days which will prove extremely useful. I also have to look back on other projects on 405 and maybe write a bit more about my work. 


Final outcome. When I look at the poster is seems quite bottom heavy. Its hard to explain but the title is very light and so are the illustrations underneath it. However I do like the deign. I beleive its educational and legible. 


I am going to move the triangle and the text above it and that way I will be able to fit something underneath it. Another fact or illustration possible. I have finally added that the results came from the BBC ( just under the triangle). I also forgot to put 'Sub Saharan Africa' into my bar chart so that has been added now. 


I just need to redo my man illustrations and add some more vital text and I should be there. Also, the layout needs to be perfect before I can claim this is finished. I want to make a banner or some kind of background for the title too. As you can see I have changed my triangle information. I really wanted to stay with the top figure of 26 million because obviously thats a massive amount of people. I have done the right thing and gone with a more believable number ( and of course this number has come from the ILO and the BBC). 


I've decided to run with the results that the BBC got from the ILO. They are radically different in size but then again are probably much more accurate compared to random blogs I found. This is proving to be a bit of a problem because in my other poster I have gone with my questionnaire which is fine but not with the ILO results. I have gone with a blog that says there are 26 million slaves world wide. I have stated on the poster that the results are from the BBC and I haven't on the piechart poster so I believe everything will be fine. This poster is better because it is broken up into different illustrations stressing the problem. 

Here is the link to the BBC website which is high in information that will be reasonable and reliable- 



I used a Triangle for this because you can relate it with getting higer of something rising. To get to the top you must climb, like the numbers of slaves in this modern age. I am happy with the font I am using. it is legible and bold and easy to be drawn to.



My new idea is to form a info graphics poster about the increase in slaves over the past 30 or 50 years. I'm doing this using this triangle and also some human representations I made on Illustrator. The poster will also contain information on slavery statistics  from 2012. I have located many blogs and websites for information
