Your information hierarchy was better today. Remember, the point of a poster is to draw the viewer in from a distance, not have the viewer read all of the details from a distance. Draw them in with imagery and headline, and then make your secondary info clear and easy to read. Go back and look at the good poster samples you brought in. Search for other good examples. Be inspired by what you see. (But be careful not to rip off someone's image or concept.)
This project will probably be due in a week. Maybe a day or two more. Design is your major people. Put some blood, sweat and tears into this. Set up your schedule assuming that all of your time will be used doing design homework, then fit your other stuff in around that. If you want help, come and see me. If you don't communicate with me, I can't help you.
Let's see a tight revision of your best one or two directions for Wednesday.
You can ALL can pull this off. Remember...
Good design doesn’t come in a flash of inspiration. You have to spend a substantial amount of time to realize a good and unique design idea. You also have to have lots of ideas. There are always many “right” answers. But you can’t stop with the first idea. What is the second one? What other great ideas are there just below the surface? What wonderful thing will occur to me if I spend an extra 15 minutes thinking about it? When you have five or ten options, you can feel confident that the solution you finally decide to go with is the best one.
