Tutorial 5 assignment:

Create a poster design to promote Active Aging.
Firstly, pick a topic related to the theme (e.g., Enhancing physical well-being, Widening social networks, Remaining economically independent, Staying mentally and emotionally healthy or your own active aging theme etc)

Secondly, create your own slogan such as “add years to your life and life to your years”, “Changing my age by changing the way I age” etc and write a relevant copy of not more than 150 words.

The aim is to design the poster such that it coveys the meaning through layout (placement of visual elements - photos, text, graphics elements etc)

First of all, I choose the topic Widening Social Networks because 1 in 5 Senior Citizens lives alone and suffer from some form of Self Isolation. Therefore, it is important to get senior citizen to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, engage in lifelong learning as well as to widen their social networks so as to prevent isolation among the aging community!

The slogan I created was "Be Active. Age Is No Barrier!". This slogan simply let the aging community get the message of "Age is no barrier because it is just a number after all, therefore, they should be active and enjoy their golden age in order to age with dignity".

I have taught of several images to portray this topic but chosen to draw 2 cartoon-ish elderly (1 male & 1 female) using a laptop to stay connected with their grandchildren, friends, etc to show that there is no barrier in learning to use a computer and also to widen their social network.

Here's what I have done after much brainstorming...
