By now you have explored elements of visual design, compositional techniques, and typography.  Now it’s time to put it into practice. You will be making media that provides a message to our school community.  It must be a message that meets the culture of our school, such as “you were made for greatness”, your favourite Beatitude, or “you are loved”.  You will be producing two different versions of your poster message; one will use a photograph you find on the internet (with appropriate copyright attribution), the other will use a photograph you make yourself.  You may choose any font set, design, and layout you wish to help to convey your message. **This project will be shown to your fellow students.** # Your Tasks 1. Choose your message.  What is a message that nurtures the culture of our school, is one that inspires you, or is one you think your fellow students need to hear/see? 2. Create a Google Slide or a Canva that is 10x16” in size.  Use this as the template for your poster. 3. Find a photograph that is very high resolution on the internet that helps to deliver your message.  Consider a photograph that employs the elements of design and compositional techniques you have studied. - You _must_ be able to provide attribution to the original owner of the photograph.  If you find a photograph but cannot determine its rightful owner, _you shall not use it_.  You can provide attribution in “fine print” alongside your own name as the “designer”, if you wish. 4. Using that photograph, and any combination of typography you wish, create a poster that delivers the message you have chosen.  Make sure to include a byline indicating that you were the “designer” of the poster. 5. Make a second poster with the same dimensions.  For this poster you will be using the exact same message, but with an opposite emotive approach (if your first image was sweet, make this one salty; if the first text was cursive, make this one block).  Include a byline indicating you own/created the work. 6. In a separate Google Doc, answer the following questions; 1. In the photograph with your original poster, what elements and compositional techniques did you notice that made you choose it?  How did those pieces contribute to the delivery of your message? 2. Why did you make the typographical choices you made with the photograph from someone else? 3. In the second thematic approach, what elements and compositional techniques did you choose to enhance the delivery of your message? 4. Why did you make the typographical choices you made with the second photograph? # Marks - Creating - 30 marks - Presenting - 10 marks
