  • Once you’ve narrowed down your scope, you can start to do:
    1. Research about your topic
      • Study and gather all related information about your topic.
      • Write a summary about your topic
      • Highlight the key points of your summary
      • Define the Title
      • Define the Slogan
      • Define the Details
      • Define the Call For Action 

    2. Define your concept
        • Create a section for each contents (Title, Slogan, Details & Call for Action) 
          • Sketch your mock up poster
            • Fill in with details
            • Decide on Idea, and approach:
              • How the designer EVOKES viewer’s feeling, deliver strong impression?
                - Humor -- Sarcastic
                - Sensitive -- Heart warming

            • Apply color, typography, textures & effects

        • Most mental Health PSA posters take gentle approach because target audiences are vulnerable.
