My strongest Poster Remix by Francisco Guerrero.

During class when we displayed our poster on the walls, several people felt that this poster design was “different” and “eye catching.” I liked my other designs as well but my goal for this poster was to attract the reader’s attention. This poster does have a different design to how the information is presented. It is very symmetrical, up and down, and uses positive and negative space to make a design with the text but also with the background. It has some qualities that make it attractive.

I do agree that it is “different” and “eye catching” but I don’t think that the information isn’t displayed as clear. A poster is supposed to provide the reader with quick and simple information. With this poster design, the design of the text is creative but it is organized in a way that the reader actually has to take much time just read it. I would try changing maybe the arrangement a little bit so I can emphasize some information. I would make the title font bigger as well as the time, date, and location. I would organize the information so the authors and their descriptions to cut off when there is a new line of text. I would experiment with it some more to try including more of the different signs we have talked about in class.

The poster has potential to work as a eye catching text but also include an effective way of presenting all the necessary information. Maybe the intention of this poster should be that it is to attract the reader to play close attention and read the information instead of just glancing at it.
