Nearly everything in this poster is unique and has a lot of actual photoshopping artistry. The way that the images are faded and blended together really help persuade the viewer that Global warming is a problem. The trail of fire that leads off of the earth adds a sort of rythm and feel to it and the fact that it blurs the "It's" part is a realy nice effect. Which brings me to the text that although very simple is white and bright and catches your eye suddenly. The spatial organization of the text over the Earth is also very well done.
However there is some things that could use improvement. The same things that give this poster its uniqiueness also work against it in some ways. For example all of the images on the Earth make you lose site that it actually is Earth. Also the flow of this page coul be improved.
All in all this poster is definitely persuasive. Through great use of creativity and even greater spatial organization this is a very professional looking poster.

Dear e-Liz,
Overall, I really like it, and I think it accomplishes its goal of converting the viewers opinion.
First off, I love the smoke coming off of the earth, it's a great lead-in and it brings the earth to life.
The earth is definitely dominant, which was the goal. I love the rhythm of the bottom part of the earth where the whiteness wisps off to the other side of the globe. I think it's balanced and the proportions are even and interesting. I like how space is organized, and it helps to convey your point. I think the HAPPENING being bold and smudged helps to get the message across, and the message is supported by proof. That's what makes the poster what it is- you're not just making a claim about global warming, you're supporting your viewpoint with evidence of it actually taking place (the pictures of the disasters on the earth)
High-Five, you completely reached your goal.

I really like your poster, I think it's very original and was done very well. The images really persuade me to believe that our earth has problems and if we don't do somthing about it we may never recover. The images of Fire and smoke are really loud speaking images because it shows you worldly problems. And the Words "It's Happening" make non-believers be like maybe it is happening and i want to stop it.

There are some negetives though, all of the images, although unique, make you somewhat lose site that it is our planet and not just a whole bnch of images put together. Also the blurriness for Happening did not do it for me because I felt like that statement should have been a little more stand-out ish concidering that it is the Title of the poster.

This persuasive poster was done with alot of thought and talent. the message of stop global warming is done threw the text, but even more so threw the picture. The world adn everything in it are perfectly blended. and the fire/smoke comming out of the top give the whole thing a good sense of balance. The "its" at the top of the poster has a very similar color to the smoke and i think that portrays that "it" really IS happening and mak4es me think about your issue more and more. The text is all different and each word gives across the exact message that its suppposed to.

This poster also caught my eye. Mainly because it was darker than the rest, and your attention is drawn to your image and what you've done with it. The top text leads you into the image, and the world allows your eyes to travel around it, looking at all the images within. The images within are very well put together and it shows the effects of polution clearly. The text also fits very well with it, which is hard to achieve. It seems very persuasive, a success at achieving its goal. Unique and Well done.

Liz,
Your design is not the most dynamic design ever. There are definately some good things. I like how you broke the border of the circular structre by making the fire cross into the upper portions of the page. Your main problem is with the text. The It's is way too hard to read, and the motion effect on the happening is very distracting. I think if the motion on happening wasn't as long, it would be much easier to read. Also, the spacing between letters (mainly at the bottom) and words could use some adjustment. The photoshop default will almost never be right for the situation. Just take a look at your design and really think about text size, placement, and overall feel of fonts and type in general. I feel like the text at the bottom should have more emphasis since that is the issue at hand in this design too.
