Persuasive Posters- Spring 2009

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.

Hi Mr. C.-
Overall, the posters show good balance of positive/negative space without too much clutter. There is an overall tendency to have posters that "read" from bottom left to upper right (habit?). Also, in a few, I think the type choices could have been more interesting and underscoring the "tone" without sacrificing readability.
Impressive results and forum!---Mrs. G.
