This is the final design I came up with for the Awareness Poster project. This poster shows a veteran sinking into the streets of homelessness. With a silhouette of himself in his youth in the background saluting the flag. Once looked at as a hero, now looked at as a nuisance. I used an image of a homeless man and added the sign to link him to the concept. I removed the background from the image and blended him in with the other layers to bring it together. I created shadows underneath the man so he did not look like he was floating in the center of the poster. I used the multiply tool to add the layer of the saluting soldier as it originally was a very bright image, as well as the flag. Using the burn and dodge tools I tried to balance out the texture of the ground. The font used was titled "felt tip senior" which I found to be fitting for this design. I hovered the text "A HERO THEN.." over the silhouette to connect the text to the idea and the remaining text in the foreground to emphasize the message. I added the cardboard on the diagonal as I thought it need something more to fill in the empty space, so I put it here both ways for opinions.
