Topic

Continue Project 3: Social Media Posts (for Pet Peeve Exhibit)

  • The following text will be used for four social media posts
    • The Title of your pet peeve
    • And Other Pet Peeves
    • 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.
Note this is the photograph used on the examples below. It will be used purely as an abstract background.
  • 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?

Objectives

Students explore contrast and legibility though use of actual color (other than black), imagery (photos), and type
