Experience:
Once you understand the fundamentals of using type in Photoshop, as well as understanding basic principles of typography, you are ready to incorporate the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity in designing a poster or flyer that uses both image and type. The experience this week will be to create a motivational poster. This will be the first of 10 exhibits you'll create for your portfolio!
Once you understand the fundamentals of using type in Photoshop, as well as understanding basic principles of typography, you are ready to incorporate the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity in designing a poster or flyer that uses both image and type. The experience this week will be to create a motivational poster. This will be the first of 10 exhibits you'll create for your portfolio!
Here are some examples from previous students! They may spark some ideas for your own motivational poster! The ideas below were focused on digital displays for middle and high school students who are part of the USU Gear Up grant program.
