Children's reading advocacy poster

Description

Here's one of two advertisements I needed to make for my Visual Design class.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a poster for elementary school children (4th-6th grade) to encourage them to read books. 

I have to say that I was inspired by an idea of one of my favorite artists whom I was able to talk to last week.

She decided to stop making traditional manga and comics for certain reasons, and instead decided to focus on making "comic prose". If you don't know, she has been working with this new and creative concept for a while, and it's something I'd want to try too and apply in some of my future projects starting with this poster. According to her, comic prose is storytelling with a combination of text paragraphs and comic panels in one page.

I decided to apply a similar combination and balance of text and images in this poster, and this is the result of my inspiration. The larger words were supposed to be visuals which were just as effective as the photos used in each row. Since this is for children, I had to use limited words so it will be easy enough for the kids to understand them.

Hey, thanks!
Glad to see that what I'm doing is helping kids read (in a way). :D
