Design is about doing: The poster brief

The brief
You are required to design a series of three A2 posters (portrait from) that communicate:
''It always rains in your country. Make a poster for visitors to the UK explaining why so much rain is attractive. Don't be sarcastic. After all, rain can be romantic, useful or beautiful.''

Background:
Poster will be seen by people representing the creative industry in the north.
Erik Kessels will be judging the winner of the competition who will be rewarded with a print of their poster, and the rare book 2Kilo of KesselsKramer and A New Kilo of KesselsKramer.

Poster 1 Is inspired by the quote written by Frederick The Great ''A crown is merely a hat that lets the rain in''

I thought using this quote could be quite interesting, meaning that Great British weather gets everyone, including the queen in her iconic topless hat. Light hearted humor to engage with the viewer?

Poster 2 Is inspired by the famous propaganda poster produced by the British government in 1939 'KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON..', i decided to use this as a foundation for the poster as the quote is eye catching and remember-able. 

'Let if rain cats and corgis' i developed from the British saying 'it's raining cats and dogs' referring the amount of rain we have every year.
'Corgis' - royal family twist.
