Poster Design Ideas: Random

With reference to the topic of Poster Design discussed here, I've generated few ideas for designing them. These ideas are mainly random and don't follow any particular style or theme. Next type I'm planning to take up the same topic, but focus on style based idea generation like typography, vector art, cartoon etc.

Walking is good for health: Like the evolution of man, a tired walking fat man evolves into a thin energetic one. This can be done in silhouette. Tagline might read: Mr. Walker gets thinner.

Stop child labour: A child is seen standing with a container full of stones on his head. He casts a shadow where he is seen with a balloon in his hand. Tagline: I’m poor, but human. I deserve a childhood like others.

Anti corruption: A hand offering money under the table, another hand showing the middle finger. Tagline: It's time to say ‘f@#k you’ to bribes. This a funny way, although somewhat offensive. The middle finger maybe replaced by hand cuffs or a pistol.

A group of people dancing around a bone fire burning black money. A person is seen dumping something in the fire, on the container it's written black money. Can be done in cartoon.

Save environment: This topic can be broken down into it's attributes. Like save water, save electricity etc. I think it's better to approach them rather than directly approaching environment. There is a very good example of a poster depicting harvesting of rain water. An upside down blue umbrella with the handle modified into a tap. In case of saving electricity, an inverted light bulb is placed with a candle lit above it. Another example of saving water might be a bird sitting on a tap is putting its beak inside the tap to drink water. Tagline: Birds without water, die together. A man reading a newspaper in a forest where all trees have been hacked. Tagline says: Save paper. Go mobile.

Educating voters: A person is holding a pamphlet upon his face covering it. In the pamphlet it's written, “Vote smart. Don't get biased!”

Corruption: A child watches two people exchanging money. their faces are not shown. One of them might even be his father. Tagline: This is not what we want our children to learn, do we?

Right to education: A child is standing at the edge of the screen with his back to us. Only the hand and a bit if the body is seen. At a distance another child is seen with a bag on his back going to school. The first child is watching the other one. Tagline: Right to education. Every child's right.

Climate change: Like environment, climate is a huge area. The poster can focus upon various causes, effects, ways of prevention etc. A penguin is seen sweating under the sun (cartoon). Or maybe a polar bear standing on a small chunk of ice in a vast ocean. A huge ship is seen standing still on a dry and cracked ground. A small plant has grown in a famine stricken land full of cracks. Tagline: Our last hope will die slowly without water.

Traffic signals: Rajnikanth  is seen bending down and holding a car from hitting him while dodging another car flying in the air. Tagline: Everybody can't be Rajnikanth. Follow traffic signals.

Technology growth: the right half of the page has the growth in height of buildings. The left half shows a rocket launching (in frames). Tagline goes in the middle: embrace technology. Embrace growth.

Imagine yourself to be a pet shop owner selling elephants. Design a poster to advertise your shop: An elephant (with it's owner sitting on top) scaring a dog (and it's owner) away. Below the dog, it says faithful. Below the elephant it says faithful and powerful. The tagline reads, “Your call!”
