Homework: Roughs of Your Poster Ideas
Take your 3 best thumbnail sketches and rework them into half-sized roughs—that means you need to work within a space that is 5.5” x 8.5” or 8.5” x 5.5” since the final pieces will be 11” x 17” or 17” x 11”. Take into account the critique you received in class.
Rules:
- Black and white: pencil is preferred, pen is acceptable
- Well-developed: I will not accept quickly thrown-together
- chicken scratch
- The roughs need to be 5.5” x 8.5” or 8.5” x 5.5” in size
