I think the picture itself is a good idea because it is not centered in the middle of the page, it is more to the left. The picture looks good also because it doesn't just look like copy and paste, it looks like there was time put into it. global warming is in a different font style which brings out the main point in the poster. I like that there is no white space beceause then it looks more finished. I think it gets the point across as a persuasive arguement with the picture idea and it has a overall finished look to it.

I think it's a little bit too heavy on the left side. The text is good in my opinion. The use of red reminds you of a stop sign or a red light which makes you stop and look in a sence. Over all i think it was well composed and needs little work.

This was a very good poster i think. The proportions and balance are good because the picture is not centered like most other posters and the text surrounding it balances out the picture. I like how he put a background in because if the background was just white it would not have looked finished. I like the fire underneath the earth, I think that was a creative idea to show global warming, and the earth looks like its melting. It looks like he spent a lot of time on this by the way nothing looks cut and paste, everything seems blended together. I like how he used different texts but they all were still interesting to look at. The red around everthing catches your eye and pulls everything together. overall i think that this pciture does persuade the issue because it tells you the consequence if we don't stop global warming which is to find a new planet.

This poster seems to be one of the strongest in the class in my opinion. The point is clear and gets right to the point. The pictures has too many things on the left side though, throwing off the balance. The text is strong and very appealing because it is eye catching but does not over power the picture. The only fault that i could see in the picture was that the frying pan could have been darker to match the backround better, if that was done it would be much more appealing.

This is the best poster in the class the images are very intresting and all flow together very well. I love how the earth is blury in the maginifine glass and i looks as if its melting. The word STOP is exactly like a stop sighn and it makes it very intresting. The image of the sun set or firey looking image in the back relates to possibly burning of the earth. The fire under the magnifine glass is an amazing image and it totally realtes to the topic. the only problem is like the............... or find a new planet but its nothing too important. great job

I think that this is the best persausive poster I have ever seen. I feel like the design, and the way the earth is sizzling with fire under it is very creative.

I felt the text went real well with the picture because it really grabs your attention and makes you want to read and observe the poster. It really grabbed my attention, and made me look at it for a little bit.

I felt like the pictures worked tremendously well. The earth sizzling, with the water and the back was great. I also like how the sun going down is kind of matching with the fire, and that grabs my attention.

Overall, a great poster, my favoirte one.

I think this poster is so good that it deserves a huge word like phenomenal...I think this one is for sure the best one in the class. The use of red really makes you look stop and look at everything a little longer. This whole poster blended together really well. I like how you didnt have a white background. It was really cool how you made the earth look like it is melting. It is also unique because it was one of the only posters to have the image off centered. he balanced it well with the text.

Overall very good, not competition with the rest of the class...

i think this is one of the strongest posters. It is well balanced and he chose a text that really stands out. He also chose nice colors to help it stand out. He did a nice job with placement. I like that everything is not in the middle. The pictures used are very strong. The pictures are blended together well because they dont look like they were copy and pasted.
i also like how there is a lot more on the left side.
Overall, i definitely think he got his point across his poster was very well done.

i think this poster is one of the most strongest in the class because the background of the poster draws my attention pretty fast. then also the world frying in a pan is also different look and the use of no white space give it the look of alot the time into it. i think the text is perfect for it that is is not domiant but it is was red meaning hate and badness. so i think this poster is showing a good opinion on topic he had done

This is one of my favorite posters. The picture overall loked like so much time was put into it in order to make it the best it could look. I really like how the whole page is filled up with a picture. It really makes the other elements of the picture balance well. The organization is very well done because of the placement of the magnifying glass a little off center. it really gives it more creativity. The balance is good too because i feel like the different pieces all fit together and are used in the correct places. The dominance is obviously the magnifying glass which actually makes you think, and makes you persuade yourself which was the point of this project right?

The text is used VERY well. "STOP" is my favorite use because it is a really good font for emphasizing that word in order to give the message of the poster. global warming overlapping the magnifying glass is good because it follows the composition rules. the bottom right corner is also used well because as your eye leaves the page, its the last thing you need to see.

Overall, the idea of showing us (people) with the magnifying glass, controlling the world basically is good symbolism of what is really going on today. The colors are great, and really make this piece incredibly graphically interesting.

I don't think your font choices are the best for this subject. Switching fonts so many times on such a small area was a mistake. I wouldn't recommend using more than 2 for something this small. I think that without the fire on the bottom, the overall presentation would seem less cluttered. I don't know why people would associate fire with global warming, especially logs burning. If you felt that flames were essential, then it should just be flames instead of firewood. I think the magnifying glass and earth is a good idea, but it is a tad big for this. resize it and play around with it and i think you could make this much stronger.

Global warming is a very serious issue, portrayed well by the images used throughout the poster. Everything about the poster has a great flow to it. From the bright sun to the glow to the pot, the water and the wave of the earth, and the reds in the fonts all are balanced well with one another. The fire looks as if it could almost belong on the bank of the beach with the darkness and setting of the sun. The red outlined "Stop" in the text closley resembles a familiar stop sign and is somewhat convincing to the eye. I think all of the fonts work with it's surrounding image however, the last text on the lower-bottom right, resembles too much of the top text. If altered the poster would be that much more persasive and appealing. Everything works well and the objective of the poster was reached.
