What makes a good poster...?

Rule 1: Define the Purpose

Rule 2: Sell Your Work in Ten Seconds

 Rule 3: The Title Is Important

Rule 4: Choose your colors wisely 

 Rule 5: Many of the Rules for Writing a Good Paper Apply to Posters, Too

Identify your audience and provide the appropriate scope and depth of content. If the conference includes nonspecialists, cater to them. Just as the abstract of a paper needs to be a succinct summary of the motivation, hypothesis to be tested, major results, and conclusions, so does your poster.

Rule 6: Good Posters Have Unique Features Not Pertinent to Papers

 Rule 7: Layout and Format Are Critical

 Rule 8: Content Is Important, but Keep It Concise

 Rule 9: Posters Should Have Your Personality

 Rule 10: You of all people should be proud of your finished product 

 

 

We are all responsible to creating an eye catching/informative poster that announces we are having a yearbook cover design contest . We want it to involve the whole school not just art students. 

Halloween Cards

As you know we need to raise money to help pay for the yearbook. Our first fundraiser other then selling ads is going to be a Halloween card sale along with candy. Students may purchase candy and a card ( designed by you) for one dollar during each lunch period. 
You  are all  responsible for creating 10 cards each.  5 homemade cards and 5 digital cards created in Photoshop. Remember you are CREATING your own design do not steal your images off the internet. If you use a picture form the internet make sure you transform it completely to make it your own. If you do not that is considered PLAGIARISM !! 
Make these fun, silly and scary

Please use markers, colored pencils, magazines, construction paper and your imagination. You may use anything you want in the TAN filing cabinet.
