This is my first attempt at the poster. Right now, you can see that the poster is lacking some images and some other things. I am thinking of the best approach. I wanted to keep the chalkboard and chalk theme, but I am having trouble thinking of appropriate images to increase the effective. Your criticism and feedback is welcome!

First draft of Poster

Hey Brad! I really like the idea of the chalkboard as a background. I will try to think of what sort of images you could add to this, but for now I just have one comment-- I think you left out "science" in your description in the middle. It should say "...switchers who want to teach middle school science and/or mathematics".
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am a little unsure of the curved "Middle Matters" text at the top...it leaves a little too much white space (or in this case green space) in my opinion, but I also know you are intending to add more images!
Brad,
ReplyDeleteI think you your are on the right track. The use of the chalk board background is very creative.
The words are a little to light, which makes it hard to read at first glance (contrast).
As Janie has stated the curvature of "Middle Matters" creates extra white space in the top corners. You may also want to incorporate some king of visual (ie. students, teachers, etc. )
These are some of the items I see.
Brad, I think the chalkboard could work if it was one component of your poster, but you may not want to make it your focal point because it lacks the visual interest afforded by compelling photos. This being the case, I would look for images that actually convey something about children in middle school, teaching, switching careers, or some other concept covered by the program. With regard to layout, you need to pay attention to the "negative" space created by your text and images. Choose a layout that is visually interesting (not centered, which is static) and uses the principles, actions, and tools - contrast, alignment, proximity, repetition, type, color, space, depth, and shape - covered in this course. If you use images that are not yours, you must cite them.
