PLEASE PLAY ME!
The following are a list of Persuasive Posters created by my beginning computer art and design students.
Background:
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 all the works below 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.

Color Theory
Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools you have. It is far more complicated and involved then you may realize, that is why we have begun understanding design principles in this class using only black, white, and gray tones.
People respond to different colors in different ways, and these responses take place on a subconscious, emotional level. Understanding how color works, what certain colors mean, how should it be used in graphic design are all "in-depth" studies that couldn't possibly be explored properly in just one sitting... or just one class for that matter. My hope is that this is a beginning point of your education with understanding color theory.
The following link is an interactive web site to help us get started exploring color on a basic level...
