- See Link
- Specs:
- Use common social media square format 1080 x 1080 pixels
- Set margins of your choice
- Take an abstract photo or create a texture. We will use it as background only.
- Use typefaces that relate to your PET peeve posters. These announcements partner up with the posters.
- How to use color and image
- Square 1: Black Text on White Background
- Square 2: White Text on Black Background
- Square 3: Photographic or Textural Background Choose color of typography
- Square 4: Must use color
- Look at example below (Please note that your solutions must be different than these). Is the hierarchy appropriate? Are the colors and images offering the viewer an easy to read experience? Are pt size, line space and letter space working in a cohesive way?
