I chose this version of my homophobia poster to be the best because, after hearing some of my classmates opinions I decided that this one was the most serious and impacting. The others on the white backgrounds, seem a little more happy and didn't portray the right message. However, on the dark navy blue background I found that it made it a bit more serious and changed the mood up. I chose the colours of red, orange, green and blue because they represent the gay pride flag with the exceptance of purple. Each colour has it's own meaning, and together are forceful and bring emotion.

I also decided to use a Dr. Seuss quote because, he as a famous childrens writer can get children to learn about this earlier in their years without really knowing it. If a simple childs quote can bring so much meaning to a variety of people, wouldn't it make sense to use something so strong yet simplistic ? I chose to put the stick men in my poster because with one flaw of my poster is that without the "stop homophobia" at the top the poster could be about anything. But with the two stick men holding hands it made it a little more obvious with using less words.
