Project Proposal – Graphic Design – 3rd Year

For this project I want to create a series of posters that will be typography based pieces.I want the target audience to be between secondary schools and universities as the subject I am going to be researching is going to be Sexual Health; I want to create surveys and questionnaires so I am able to give facts and figures to all about sexual health, i.e. sexually transmitted disease’s. I want people to realise how important it is to have check ups and to be safe when the start having a sexual intercourse, my main area of interest is fresher’s week as through hearing and seeing so many people make mistakes and not realising until it has already happened. I want this to be make it easier for youngsters to go and have regular checks ups even though it may be daunting for some. The way in which I create these posters I want them to be fun and informative.My project is to give people the facts to make them more aware but also to give them the advice of what to do if they think they have questions to be answered.
