Week3 - pre-crit and progress

Kym and I made a few adjustments to the poster for the pre-critique. To make the bottom paragraph more readable we decided on the wording of bullet points. Below is the 13x 19 poster that was printed and a close up of the change made from the last post.

Once we decided on the text we felt that it still was not enough to get the viewer to look. To solve this we found our action words and made them bold and all caps so they would jump out at the viewer and they could get the message quickly. 

During the pre-critique we received a lot of feedback about the triangles and what to do instead. Once we explained our ideas about the banner and that the majority of the pieces will be given out at the event it sort of cleared the air. Our peers overall enjoy the color and typography of the poster.

We did receive comments that it seemed small (because of how we cut it with the bottom) and Kym and I completely agreed. We had the document size a lot larger before we learned that the poster contest asked for it to be 13x19. For promoting the event and actually executing it, the poster size will be larger.

After explaining the idea of the banners and how they are like the Tibetan Peace flags we were given the suggestion to make the triangles different colors and we plan to pursue that idea. 

We also debated whether the text needed to be filled in or not on the top section of the poster. We decided since we are printing 4 poster to promote, 2 will had writing, 2 will not.
