Critique's on initial posters

This week we were to bring our 2 poster ideas for class critique. 

First Idea: Don't Erase Our Identity.

- Typography is yet to be done. Use of grid - indesign

- Image clearly portrays the idea - but not enough

- Needs more 'excitment'

- Grammer errors

- Maybe less photoshop, more hands on work

- Rhetoric devices - Justiposing the broken glass, hand print and flag together - Subversion - addition to the handprint to portray an idea. The motion lines represent a cry for help almost - Pathos - and emotional feeling. 

Second Idea: It Is In Our DNA.

-Typography again

- Image still portrays the flag referendum but maybe not in relation to the text, a suggestion from Caroline, 'DNA' - What's the first thing you think of? - The Double Helix. Which may be a stronger design idea. 

- A class mate also suggested 'its in our DNA' - reminder of the Mitre Ten Mega Add.

- Very simplistic again - this is the idea I am going for though.

The main problem with these two posters is that they really are exactly the same - but have different icons. typography, vocal point, background and heirachy are the same. I understand we have to portray the same idea in two different posters, but these are far to similar with the same rhetoric devices. One must be changed
