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.
