As I had made advertising mockups for my assets on social media, I decided to take my poster designs and add them into a mock up environment to show what these would look like in the real world. I again, as with all my other mock ups, used freepik to find some free use mock up files in styles I wanted. I first found this mock up of a wall with a pasted on poster and thought that this would be a good way to show the physical use of my designs. I added my poster images from my illustrator document into the photoshop file and as I had been working to standard sizing they fit perfectly within the file. I think that these mock ups really show how bright and interesting my designs would look out in the real world. I think that the main title text and the subheading is bold and readable and that the smaller informational text is a good size to get the information across to the viewer effectively. I think they work really well in this type of physical setting and also that posters like this could also be used as merchandise as they are interesting and colourful and make for good decoration.
The second mock up design that I chose to create was one for a poster board. As we have a lot of these around the city of Hull I thought it would be good to see how my design would look in an environment like this as this would most likely be how it would be primarily advertised in person. I found a night time city mockup for the poster board and inserted my images again. I really love how this ended up looking and seeing my designs properly in all the appropriate physical settings really helps to visualise how the outcomes look. I think within my poster designs I was really able to achieve something that relates strongly back to my research and target audience and shows off the styles and collage design elements I wanted to bring together for the advertising for this project.
