If anyone is still tweaking their roughs for thursday morning, i found a website that helps a lot with planning, layout, and other things involved in a poster design. As professor Harper has mentioned over and over, simplicity is key, but in creating a poster, we must grab attention within the three seconds it takes for someone to pass it. I think our image is key. It needs to be prominent and interesting. Information is obviously important, but has to come second to design when it comes to posters because that is what the viewer will notice second. Once we catch an eye, the information will be read. Visual hierarchy is essential. Font, color, layout, etc all need to be considered before coming to what we may think is a perfect poster design.
