Poster - Charity Sale at CWPoint

I can't wait to upload this!!!!!!!! because I've just spent almost 24 hours on this poster alone *感动落泪* This is my first official volunteer task with Sing Youth Hub :D It's a simple charity sale poster, but I didn't want it to be simple! So I took lots of reference from the Internet (not necessarily a bad thing :P)

Here's is an example of their previous poster!


Although it looks rather simplistic, lots of hidden work actually goes into editing the font size, color, aligning the text spacing, re-sizing the logos and trying out different compositions!!!! It's not simple at all!!! T__T

Draft 1 (*v* so embarrassing!)
This is my first time working with an organization, and I guess I still have so much more to learn and improve :OO One thing that surprised me a lot was...the officers at SYH actually work on weekend nighttssss!!!!!! They reply my email almost instantly at 10.30pm with a list of amendments for me to make on the next draft ._.) 

Draft 2 (looking okay!)
Font used for 'Charity Sale' : http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/schizotype/ollie/
Anyway, I also get to learn that the most important thing in a poster, for organizations, is the logos at the bottom -> followed by description -> photo of products -> date and time -> font size -> then design. (^_^;;;;;
Final draft :D (hopefully)

The editing process was the most exciting part hahahh; though it's disappointing sometimes when my design was rejected with comments like "you need improvement"... it was extremely rewarding when everything was approved at last. Many thanks to Sophee and Ellen for continuously reminding me to submit my next draft and giving me advice ^-^) 

Thank you for viewing too!
