Topic
Mid-semester review
Classrooms should be inviting and engaging spaces.
How can we create that here?
Text & image: Meaning
Goals: Reinforce the meaning of your text with an image
Objectives: Simplify to strengthen your message
Poster: 11 x 17, black and white
Your poster must be purely typographic.
Consider hierarchy: A viewer should be able to easily understand your text.
Hierarchy 101: Work with a basic chunk of information and explore numerous simple variations, using just one type family. The parts of a typographic hierarchy can be signaled with one or more cues: line break, type style, type size, rules, and so on.
remember
Don’t be a slave to the document:
For example, the name does not have to be at the top of the poster.
Instead of making one big text box, break up the content and move it around the page.
