SKYPE POSTERS IN CONTEXT

Skype posters

I used the idea of the cable for the text but moved away from the telegraph pole, because it wasnt communicating the idea of freeness enough, so i thought of better ways to show this. As skype is aimed at a wide audience i thought i would use situations and images that relates to children teens and the older generation with the kite, plane and the old style telephone. These will be situated on buses and the tube as this is where the audience is most likely to be targeted.


I decided against the idea of not having an outline on the text because with this it makes it a lot easier to read!

I drew my ideas out for skype then scanned them into illustrator to neaten them up and colour them...

Initial idea for skype

My idea for a skype poster is to show how phone conversations have improved over the years, starting from having cups on a string to now talking over the internet with skype. My idea is to have the text working along the string.

skype initial idea

I want to create the text using a long piece of rope or cable to relate to a phone line. So creating the text in a long line needs to look natural and flowing so i have photographed a piece of string in this way.
