For this iteration, I have science, a student, and a teacher represented on the left hand side of the poster, and the description to the right. I am playing with some other ideas, but am having trouble finding/creating images to fit my vision. I'm still working to fix the balance in this particular image, let me know what you think!
Saadia, I like the simplicity that you have decided to use here. However, when I saw your middle image I was little confused as to what it was. So maybe choose an image that others can readily identify. In addition I would suggest to emphasize the information on the left hand side just so your reader is fully aware of what the program is mainly about. Otherwise I think the simplicity is good to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chervon! The middle image is a tornado in a bottle (a science project that I was introduced to in middle school) the idea behind it was to bring focus to the science/math aspects of this program. I am looking for images that may better represent the image that I envision. Thank you again for your suggestions!

ReplyDeleteSaadia, Like Chervon, I had difficulty figuring out what the image was in the center of the poster. In addition, I would work on the placement of the images. I am not sure about having them all of the right of the page. Plus, two of the photos are awfully close to the right edge of the poster, and the text along the bottom is too close to the edge, as well. With regard to the shape of the photos, I find the hard edges of the two rectangular images a little harsh when compared to the oval shape of the center photo. You can soften these edges quickly in iPhoto using the Matte tool in Effects. It quickly applies a soft white border around the edge of the photo. Next, the color of the JMU logo seems out of place because there are no other elements in the poster that use this color. Consider how you can bring this color into your poster to unify the logo with the rest of the poster None of the images contain this color, and it appears nowhere else on the poster. Finally, if you are using photos that do not belong to you, you need to cite them.
ReplyDeleteHi Saadia!
ReplyDeleteCool, simple poster! It really gets to the point quickly! I agree with Dr. Wilcox about the margins around the poster, they are there but not well defined. Maybe by making them a little larger it would help the content of the poster pop out a little more. I also feel like there is a lot of empty space in the poster but maybe by adding the margins it will reduce these as well as make the empty space work better.
