This work by Adam Thompson gave me more ideas on what I wanted to do for this brief. He's took various quotes from the classic superhero movies and made them into fun typographic and illustrated posters. This is something I could do myself by choosing different superhero's or even animals to represent different characteristics and personalities of the first years.

This example of typographic posters I thought were interesting as its quite cheeky and funny. This could be interesting to the first years as they may find it amusing and big up their ego and feel more confident about their own work. The clean minimal design looks nice and appealing however I would not personally go for all of the typefaces the designer has chosen, I feel there is too much of a mixture and not all of them flow together. I would also like to see it in colour to see if it creates a different mood to the page.

These set of posters I thoughts were really aesthetically pleasing. The plush typography instantly creates interest to the poster as it looks really elegant and nice. The two words on each poster I thought were quite motivational and inspiring as they are straight to the point. However I would of not chosen the grungy background as it takes away the focus on the made typography and clashes with the mood the typography makes.

These set of posters I thought again were to the point and inspirational. Although there is not a lot of text I still found it interesting and motivational because its the cold hard truth, if you want change only you can change it. When people move to away to go to university they may want to start afresh and change their outlook, develop their skills or go out there and make friends so I think something like this would be beneficial to the first years.
