2D Design Project: Promotion Poster

My second 2d Design project was to make a poster promoting something. I feel as though I am somewhat of an environmentalist, since I like to recycle and eat organic and all that jazz. And, as cliche as it was, decided upon a 'Go Green' design. We did have one stipulation though, we could only use a triadic color scheme plus B & W. Meaning:

If you were to draw an equilateral triangle on the color wheel, the color at the points would be a triadic color scheme. 

So, choosing to do a 'Go Green' poster, I obviously had to have green. So, my other colors had to be purple and orange.

So, I used green, to make the letters, different shades of orange for the sun rays, and you can't really tell by the picture, but dark purple outlines the Unites States. Also, in every project we do, we have to make our colors from the basic colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, White, and Black. This can sometimes take a long time. Especially when you run out of paint and have to mix again and match the previous color exactly!

This is by far my most favorite design I have ever done! I was extremely proud of myself. I was surprised at how well I drew the US, take it that it was the first time I had really drawn anything in years.

I actually took some pictures of it during the process
