Thursday-Friday, 2/15-16: BR:&Agenda: Work on Vs. Poster Wednesday, 2/14: BR: Continue working on your vs. Poster employing the W.E.T. method of composition. Here's a review from yesterday: To help with formatting, it is useful to think in terms of columns. Columns help to keep text and images arranged neatly and also make your design more readable. I suggest limiting yourself to two rows of columns. This will keep you from getting overwhelmed or having to worry about clutter.Next, you want to position your visual, which will probably be some sort of image that reflects your topic. For a works-every-time layout, you want to position your visual at the top of your layout design. This will become the entry point in your layout for the viewer’s eye. Let’s see what this looks like so far. <---------------------------------------------------- Next you want to think about your headline. Because people look at your image and headline before deciding whether or not to read the full layout, you want your headline to make a statement! You want to make sure it has visual weight, which means it should be larger than 11 point in size. Keep in mind that you only get to use 2 fonts in a works-every-time layout – one for the headline and one for the body text. You want to try and get your headline all onto one line (no widows or orphans, please). If you cannot get the headline into one line, let the copy/grid show you were to break the line. Best places to break long headlines are end of thoughts or phrases.Then you will need to include copy, which is the body of the text. You know… the stuff people are going to read. <--------------------------------------------------------------
Now you know how to put together a Works-Every-Time Layout! Let’s see what the finished product looks like! Tuesday, 2/13: BR: Lets talk about the WET layout and let's use it for the vs. Poster! Agenda: Start doing research on the WET method. Monday, 2/12: BR: Time to start making some fun posters as we learn design layout! Please click here to learn about the W.E.T. (Works every time) Layout Concept. Once you look at this page,start drafting a layout idea for a "VS. poster" of your own design. No, this is not a plug for violence, it is a way to make you think about how you could put your own twist on a traditional or classic design. Think of creative and entertaining "battles" between your favorite characters, concepts, friends, elements, etc. - Due Wednesday, Critique- Thursday Remember, the idea is to get people jazzed up enough to want to witness this face off between two people/subject/elements. etc. Keep it fun. Think about what would pull someone in long enough to read your entire poster. Here is another link C.R.A.P. WET LAYOUT Specs: Size: Letter, portrait oriented Intent: Print Bleed:Full ID:lastname_vs_poster Your poster must have the following:

Week 7: February 27, 2017
Essential Question: What is the WET layout? Why does it work? W.E.T. Layout Review- (Images to the left) Monday: BR: "VS" Poster in Review Please keep working on your posters! Since you should only be using one page to do this design, you need to make sure that you layout generous margins in your design. And by generous, I mean use at least half-inch margins all around the outside of your layout. The larger your layout, the bigger the margins you will need. <------------------------------------------------ To help with formatting, it is useful to think in terms of columns. Columns help to keep text and images arranged neatly and also make your design more readable. I suggest limiting yourself to two rows of columns. This will keep you from getting overwhelmed or having to worry about clutter.Next, you want to position your visual, which will probably be some sort of image that reflects your topic. For a works-every-time layout, you want to position your visual at the top of your layout design. This will become the entry point in your layout for the viewer’s eye. Let’s see what this looks like so far. <---------------------------------------------------- Next you want to think about your headline. Because people look at your image and headline before deciding whether or not to read the full layout, you want your headline to make a statement! You want to make sure it has visual weight, which means it should be larger than 11 point in size. Keep in mind that you only get to use 2 fonts in a works-every-time layout – one for the headline and one for the body text. You want to try and get your headline all onto one line (no widows or orphans, please). If you cannot get the headline into one line, let the copy/grid show you were to break the line. Best places to break long headlines are end of thoughts or phrases.Then you will need to include copy, which is the body of the text. You know… the stuff people are going to read. <--------------------------------------------------------------
Now you know how to put together a Works-Every-Time Layout! Let’s see what the finished product looks like! <----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday: BR: Check in-Are the "VS" Posters complete? Agenda: New Exercise, Most Wanted Posters New Approach to composition! Wednesday: BR: Complete Vs.

Week 6: February 21, 2017
Essential Questions: 1.What is the number one job of a graphic designer? Why? 2. Why is it crucial to understand letter forms? 3. What does knowledge of good composition almost guarantee a successful print ad? Monday: No school. Happy President's Day! Tuesday: BR: Time to start making some fun posters as we learn design layout! Please click here to learn about the W.E.T. (Works every time) Layout Concept. Once you look at this page,start drafting a layout idea for a "VS. poster" of your own design. No, this is not a plug for violence, it is a way to make you think about how you could put your own twist on a traditional or classic design. Think of creative and entertaining "battles" between your favorite characters, concepts, friends, elements, etc. - Due Thursday- Critique on Friday! Remember, the idea is to get people jazzed up enough to want to witness this face off between two people/subject/elements. etc. Keep it fun. Think about what would pull someone in long enough to read your entire poster.
