LGBT - Announcements Refreshed

Figure 1
Due to the changes in the format of the announcements needed to re-experiment with the layout in order to stick to the visual identity which I'd created the overarching poster which is a visual identity throughout. Therefore, I tried putting the name behind the visual typography piece, which also said the name of the person who was being announced. Although this allowed the colours to take the forefront of the piece a belief it was too distracting to the name itself. The name itself was kept filled white text to be able to ensure clarity. By distracting from this and putting the colours over it takes away from the clarity and understanding. Clarity needed to be at the key part of these changes due to the nature of them being on social media they needed to be instinctively linked visually to the campaign, but also really pack a punch when it comes to getting information across quickly. This is due to the fact the audience will be swiping down social media and come across these posts, in contrast to the way that someone can stop and look at the poster.

In order to combat this clarity issue, I bought the name to the forefront of the outcome, although this could be seen as an issue within the previous experiments because of the fact that the logos presented in a white above this is not a worry with this outcome. As can be seen in figure 3 I also experimented with smaller text to the name itself, through doing so I was able to include longer names within the further announcements at the same size text, offering visual consistency throughout the announcement campaign.
