Poster

I was hoping to create a poster that caught the eye of somebody during their everyday class routines. I tried to make appealing colors and font to the eye. I also wanted to incorporate the college's radio station (88.3 WQRI) by hosting a huge band.

I changed this poster around a lot. I altered the different colors and fonts until I found one I liked. I tried a black background with a yellow font, but I didn't like the way it looked. I also had to make a decision to include the official radio station logo along with Led Zeppelin's official logo.

The biggest problem I encountered was the size of the project. I originally had it at 8.5 x 11, but found out that it actually had to be 11 x 17. I also had a big problem with changing the background color of each text box.

To solve the height and width problem, I contacted Prof. O'Connell where she guided me in the correct direction to solve the issue on my own. I solved the background color problem by searching the help topics on the Quark tool bar. That guided me to correctly change the color of my background.

I am most proud of the fact that I made a decent poster considering my artistic abilities. I was highly worried that my lack of creativity in the art area would affect my grade, even though I put forth my best effort.

If I had more time, I would have added maybe one or two more pictures to the poster. I am satisfied with my picture, but I could have been more creative if I had the time.
