When I heard about prohibition in American history, it piqued my curiosity. Why did people protest against banning alcohol? There were a number of reasons that supported my decision to take sides on this controversial issue—I agree that prohibition is a failure.
As an anti-protest person, I strongly believe in the power of negotiation. To be able to handle conflicts positively, I carefully identify what the issues are and create credible and statistically convincing messages to communicate with three main target audiences— saloon workers, consumers, and concerned citizens.
In order to create a series of posters that reminisce the early 1900s, references to letterpress and woodcut illustration come into play. The overall design manifests the simplicity of the color choices that were used in that era such as red, yellow, and black. It also showcases the harmonious relationship between a detailed hand drawing and a capitalized, condensed, and bold typeface. The use of tighter tracking helps emphasize a strong and powerful statement in order to gain more audience attention.
