About My Poster!

 Posters

1) With respects to my project, clean water is a very serious thing. My approach to this project is very serious, i feel the topic is very important; however, my poster is going to be the opposite. I want my poster to be vibrant and draw people to the project so that I can tell them about the issue. I feel that serious and scary posters would scare away interested people with it's complexities.
2) As far as a quote, i was thinking something catchy like " the building blocks of a healthy life" a quote like that would resonate the UN goal aspect of this whole thing.
3) The size remains unset to me, but that is more of something ill know in the end I guess.
4)I already have a stand for my poster as well.

My Capstone Project

My capstone project is
 a solar decelerator. I plan on utilizing the power of the sun to cause water to go through a water cycle and clean itself in the process. I will be utilizing the green house gas effect by trapping in solar rays to evaporate water in a pressure cooker. at this point it will evaporate leaving all impurities behind at the bottom of the cooker. the h2o molecules will go into the next container. in addition to this i will hook up a thermal engine to the outside to collect leftover heat to power the device in the evenings when sunlight is unavailable.

my project was rejected by the capstone board. they stated that they believed that my project needed a mentor to supervise my project as well as a clearer explanation of it.

Poster Research

 Creating a Poster

according to http://www.psprint.com/resources/printing-tips-and-techniques/poster/printing-rules.php
the five rules for designing posters are:

1) Design to Impress: all elements need to be well thought out and interwoven well with each other.

example: the picture is set in dark overall. even the man is shown by use of the match

2) Poster needs to be 1/3 text and 2/3 Visuals: This rule is flexible, but should be kept in mind for keeping the audience engaged.

example: it utilizes the ratio well

3) Big Headlines: This is important in catching your audiences attention

Example: the words "shutter Island" are written largely and work with the image below to grab attention.

4) Print Glossy!: The texture make the difference. it lets the audience know the quality of your work and often determines their readiness to accept it!

Example: the poster is on high resolution, and was printed glossy

5) Print standard size!: size is important. Staying proportional and not overdoing it keeps you from overwhelming your audience.

 Example: it uses the print size standard ratio!

The poster above is a great example of utilization of the five themes!
