After creating the similar layout in black and white, we upgraded to color to advertise the Toys for Tots drive our school was holding. The Toys for Tots drive collected hundreds of toys for our school, although our posters were never hung up. Either way the posters were for a good cause and thats all that matters.
We made this poster to advertise the Toys for Tots drive that our school was holding. The advertisements were our first larger project in InDesign, and it made us a bit more familiar with it. Although never posted, the idea of making an advertisement was the only thing that mattered.
On Pearl Harbor Day we all as a class created individual posters about the holiday. We used InDesign. These posters were to remind the class about the day of Pearl Harbor which, like the quote state son the poster, "the day that will live in infamy". This projects was kind of the practicing project that got us a bit more familiar with InDesign.
Our principal had the idea to make small signs to post around town promoting our school, Barnstable High School. Our project was to use Photoshop to each create 9 of them, 18 facts on 9 pieces of paper. The above two facts are from my third sheet of paper. They are all in the same format. These signs are supposed to be shown around town, similar to the Coachlight Carpets signs outside of Mobil on route 28.
The Cape Cod Museum of Art has an exhibition with youth art, some made my Barnstable students. So our project was to again make a poster for this event. The posters definitely varied with peoples different ideas and creativity on the topic. We had to feature our own piece of personal art, but the majority of my pictures came from Google Images.
Our school was having a Sadie Hawkins Dance in December (which unfortunately got canceled) and as a fun project we decided to make posters for it. The dance's theme was blue and white so I made my poster have a blue and white tint. We also had to decide which was the MOST important information, that would be more of the focus.
We had to choose 60 things that we personally like, or think about. We then took a picture of ourselves, opened up our heads as if on a hinge and added images of these 60 things using Google Images. The majority of the time seem to have been spent on erasing the backgrounds off the pictures, and making them seem as if they are increasing in size as they came from our heads
