poster project
The objective of this project is to create a poster presentation that details and champions a specific cause through research and writing, and by designing a graphic poster using Adobe Illustrator. This should be something that you can truly invest your voice in. If you don’t have a clear voice in you poster, the audience will have no idea what it is that you are trying to say. This project will be absent of color, so you won’t be able to rely on it to help you.
Directions:
! By following our guidelines on the class website, each student will create a poster that champions a specific cause. (Examples are: Sustainability (local growth – communities), teen issues (drug use – pregnancy), gang related issues, endangered species, alternative energy sources, water conservation, debt (national) economy.
There are numerous examples for you to see all over the internet, the pages of magazines, and on walls around town. Turn to these examples for inspiration, but let you’re individual style take the “creative director” seat in the production of your own poster.
Power to the Poster is a non-profit movement designed to showcase a gallery of free-downloadable posters created around socially minded issues. This is a great set of examples for some inspiration.
Good 50 X 70 Poster Contest is designed to put socially minded designers to the test. This is a great resource for inspiration. Look at the left hand column on the web page where it says 'gallery,' and there are seven different categories of poster design.
Word Art Gallery... This collection of work doesn't represent posters designed around social issues, but it does showcase lots of creative ways that you can work with just text alone. Make sure you check this one out!
