DESIGN FOR PRINT AND WEB// Posters Photos

 Final Shots of the screenprints. The posters goal is to spark interest in the website by using a well known figure who is seen to posses two sides. Here I chose Arnold Schwarzenegger for his role as governor of California as well as his role as terminator. Over the top of the split image of his two faces I have text which I think represents the personalities associated. Firstly a fat sans serif in italics, something similar to what Bush and McCain went for, as a republican candidate I thought it would suit Arnold here. The second is the typeface used for the Terminator films, futuristic, menacing and very 80s. The message here is  'what typeface are you going to use, because it can really effect the tone you come across in and what you are trying to say?'. This highlights the main principle of the website, to inform the user as to which typeface he or she should use depending on what the message is.

I worried that the second side of the face, the terminator, is too dark to make out. However the iconic glasses and snare ensure most people will still understand the image. This photo also shows the separation of the two sides, If you put your hand up the the poster to only look at half you really get the impression they are two separate posters for different purposes. This has been the aim of the poster and I am very pleased at the outcome.
