Your final project is to design a promotional poster that will create interest for students in taking ROP classes. You could design a poster that creates interest for a specific class or multiple classes. If your poster qualifies it will be printed and displayed on campus and you will have another great design project for your portfolio.
Project Description:
You have just been hired by me to create a promotional poster. Your goal is to design an eye-catching and engaging poster that is suitable to display on High School bulletin boards. You should have an understanding of your audience and what will appeal to them. Your design can be creative and fun but should look professional.
Project Specifications:
- Poster dimensions must be 11"X17"
- Must be created in CMYK with Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop
- Must use bold eye catching colors
- Must be created with no more than 2 different font styles
- Must be readable when printed from 10-15 away
- Pick a class to promote, choices are Graphic Design, Web Design, Digital Photography, Video Production and Animation, Bicycle Technology or the Automotive Technician Program
- Use your own ideas to make this poster unique. Poster can incorporate artwork you or other students have created to show as examples. Poster should provide an eye-grabbing headline to interest the viewer and guide them to a "call to action" such as requesting more information or signing up for the class with their counselor.
Project Copy:
Poster may contain this text, creative editing is encouraged as long as the message stays on point:
- Headline: "Learn (choose a class to feature) at Santa Cruz High School!" or an alternate headline could start with "Would you like to learn _______?"
- Body copy example (would be different for other classes): Do you enjoy learning through hands-on projects and activities? Learn digital media skills in our newest computer lab with cutting edge software and equipment. ROP offers several exciting classes in your school. Talk to your counselor to sign up for one of these great courses. Space is limited, sign up today!
- Here is what our students are saying about this great course : "Insert student testimonial quote here" <-- you will need to interview students for these quotes...
- Success Starts Here! Career Technical Education is your first step!
Grading and Evaluation:
