ITunes Festival -
This festival is fresh from the pack due to the organizers only recently bringing the festival to life. With one of the worlds biggest companys Apple provides a computer system called iTunes so they suggested creating a festival for their audiences. This festival normally lasts 20-30days.

As part of our campaign you needed to design a poster set for the specific topic which is campaign and festival. Later on in the year our target was to produce a festival on one of the main harms in the world today which is the Carbon Footprint .

This poster was designed from a website using a selcetion of edits and colours. This is a picture of a frog leaping into space through a rocket, this poster maybe suggest to others that he is escaping from the dangers of carbon and its effects on the earth. The space bowl around his head covers him from the harmful gases.
The reason why this picture is attractive is becasue of its bright colours and use of fonts to attract many children for the festival so they can notice the advertisment and come along to enjoy.
