this poster shows alot of what he is trying to get at .I believe what he is saying is true that we should be dicrimated just becuase we have tatoos or percings. It has balance in it with the picture on both sides. The text is pretty good i wounld have changed it alittle bit maybe a little bit more bold or something. i also like how the word discrimation is the domiant and makes it said what he wants to know and thats the way it should be. I think mabe has alittle bit to sapce but again it has balance with it so you really dont notice it. i also think it needs maybe more compostion , maybe more colors or effect in the back maybe not just white in the back. the pictures are showing that even though they have those thing they are no different then us and still take care of ther bay by working out and there tongue is no different but that ring in it.

I first would like to ask, what exactly are you trying to get at with this poster? End what discrimination? Against people with tattoos or piercings? There didn't seem to be that extreme of a problem against them. The images were okay, the one on the right was good, but the one on the left isn't exactly that strong. The text I don't really agree on either. The top line is pretty good, but below that doesn't work with the poster at all. expression, end and discrimination just don't mix. The text is also all right in the middle of the page, composition could have been better. End discrimination should probably be closer together, or else it looks completely chopped up and doesn't make sense completely. Overall this poster doesn't exactly look finished.

I think that this was the weakest poster overall, it seems like it was put together last minute. The proportions and balance are off, the text is so spread out it is kind of confusing to read because you look at "what happened to self" and then you don't really know what to look at next. The "expression" is out on its own. Composition is not very good either, it is confusing and hard to follow. I do understand the point he is trying to make but the spaces in between all the words makes it confusing, it takes some time to really look at it to figure it out. The pictures seem cut and paste ish too, like put on in the last minutes that it was due. The white background makes it seem unfinished too, like there should be more to it.

I feel this is one of the weaker posters in the class. The overall message is very unclear, who exactly is being discriminated, people with peircings? It gives the appearance of unfinished, and the negative space is very overwhelming making it boring. The pictures in the poster do not really send a clear message either, I understand the face, but what about the weightlifter? and also what happened to the rest of the weightlifter's head? The picture on the right is better then the picture on the left, but a very small detail could be fixed with the picture, on the tounge ring, the green glow goes farther out than the ring, giving the poster a very sloppy image. The text on this poster could also use some work. I find the END to be way to close to the EXPRESSION text, when at a first glance the text confused me. The END needs to be closer to the DISCRIMINATION then the EXPRESSION.

I think this poster is one of the weaker ones in the class. I like that there isn't a lot going on and it gets straigt to the point but i don't feel there is enough. The font doesn't work. I don't like that the text is in all different colors. I also dont like the placement of the text a solution could have been to put end closer to discrimination rather than farther away.
The pictures were also weak. Although i like where they were placed i think they could have been a lot stronger. It doesnt look like a lot of time and effort went into this.
The compostition was also weak i don't like where he placed everything. There was also too much negative space, which makes it look unfinished.
Overall, i dont think he got the point across very well. I think the message was unclear because of where he placed end and there are many ways this could be fixed.

I feel this is one of the weak posters of the class as well. The main problem I notice is that it doesn't get the point across. It took me about five minutes and two other people's input to try and figure out what it the words meant because of how they were grouped. If 'EXPRESSION?' was anywhere near 'What happend to self' (which is missing an E, by the way, it is spelled happened) it would help - similarly, the matching red between the 'END' and the 'EXPRESSION' make me think that they're in the same phrase, which they're not. In the same way that EXPRESSION is not near 'What happend to self', 'END' isnt near discrimination - and they're different colors. Overall, text doesnt match anything and it doesnt flow; it's nearly incomprehensible. I do like the message it's trying to put off, it's just not displayed effectively enough.
I do like how the two pictures have white backgrounds so that they seem to pop into the poster, and they both go off the page providing a lead-in, which is useful.
But overall, I do not think this poster achieved its goal of converting the viewer's opinion, persuading them to think differently.

The pictures in this poster are terrible- they aren't even complete. The text choices are terrible- changing font and color every line is not a good idea. It is also too symmetrical and boring. It looks like you don't care about the quality of your work.

overall the poster gets the point acroos but doesnt look very finished. the "discrimination" doesnt go with the poster at all. The picture of the tounge looks good but the wieght lifter doesnt look that good.

To me this is the weakest poster overall. The colors do not go together and there is nothing that catches my eye to make me want to believe this psoter unless i already do. It is not very proportionate or balanced at all. Some pictures/ words are to close together and some are way to far apart.

The way the text is used does not make sence at all. It looks like they are all spereate ideas when it should read what happened to self expression in one color and one text then end dicrimination in the same color and same text. It does not make sence that every line of text is a different color and a different font.

The picture with the peircings on the face decribes facial expression but it is to close to the words. I do not really understand why the guy that is lifting a a bar bell. It looks like the poster is now switched to something about lifting weights or something. The guy should of had more than one tatoo on him.

I think that this person failed to pursuade their argument. It is hard to read because the text and communicate to person reading it. It does not capture my attention at all and makes me not change my mind about anything. This poster needs major work because there is nothing about this poster that would change my mind. It needs more work!
