Steroids in professional sports

I believe that this poster clearly identifies its purpose. The rhetorical question on the wall is a persuasive tactic because everyone likes to see their team score home runs. Also the choice of color flows evenly with the rest of the background. Also it being in a baseball stadium demonstrates that steroids are just another part of the game. However i would change the phrase at the bottom to "Good CAN come from pro athelete steroid use" because the can emphasizes that you can make that change. Also i think that "good" is better than "some good" because that implies that if only some good can come then some bad can too. Also i think that the words on the wall are the most profound dominating point of the poster and your attention is drawn there first. then your attention flows over the small words on the wall and straight to the phrase at the bottom because of the larger size and the contrast of green and white.

I really like this poster, it has a lot of humor to it. The text "don't you like homeruns" looks like it was already on the green wall, it fits well and stands out. The size of the text is porportionally nice, and the font color balances well. The white text at the bottom is stands out, it was the first thing i saw when I looked at this. It's a good place for the focal point.

This poster is great at showing the disgust of steriod use in sports. The text, "don't you like home runs?" was a great choice because baseball is the one sport that is swirled in steriod problems. The italicized word like gives extra emphasis, to show that everyone likes home runs, so why would they not want to see more? The only thing that I didnt like was your choice of color of text going across the wall. I think if you would have made it look more like someone advertising on the wall it would have been even more sucessful than it already is. Overall great job.

Overall the idea is clever and mildly humorous. I like how the author put the "don't you like home runs?" along the wall, with the wall at an angle to make it look realistic. I also like how the stadium is angled to lead the reader in from left to right and down the bleachers onto the wall. The dark wall and field on the bottom along with the writing on the wall, balance out the more plain top half of the picture creating a nice asymetrically balanced design. However I think that the score board could be slightly blured so that the reader's eyes are pulled towards the main text. Another problem is the text at the bottom. It should be more concise or, if it is kept the same way, then the author should lengthen the space between the lines.
