Persuasive Posters

Welcome!
The current projects below are part of a persuasive project assignment my students are doing in class. Each student has been given several weeks of training in Adobe PhotoShop as well as a crash course in the understanding of basic layout designing in the graphic arts. During this training, all students were given the opportunity to decide on a controversial topic of their own choosing. The topic must be something that is personal to the student… (one which they feel dedicated to) and have clearly chosen a side of either “for” or “against”. Using this topic the student must develop a persuasive poster, which clearly advocates for or against this controversy in an effective graphic design.

Please feel free to browse the 48 works and share any criticism you have with their work. All students in my class must each criticize at least 5 posts to receive full credit for this assignment.
