"How To" Poster Reflection

1) You were required to create a structure/layoutoriginal title/type, and a visual sequence for your "How To" Poster.  Select ONE component you feel your poster is strongest in. Explain why you feel your poster is particularly strong in that category describing at least ONE specific part of your poster.


          I think that my poster is strongest in the layout because I made it so that it did not need numbers or descriptions to make it understandable. The layout was in a circle, creating unity and a path for the viewer to follow. This also includes the title, which is where the reader should start and at that time would also notice the espresso beans. The espresso beans in the title went to the espresso bean pile, then to the grinder, and lastly to the espresso filter attachment. In the end, you see the espresso at the machine and the process starts all over again. 

2) What is ONE thing you would do differently if you had the chance to start this project over from the beginning? Explain what you do differently and how that would strengthen your poster.



          One thing that I would do differently is I would do more on GIMP instead of hand drawing everything. Although it looks nice, it was a ton of work to scan everything and edit it on GIMP. I could have come out cleaner if I used GIMP more. This would strengthen the credibility of the poster because no one would be able to see that it was edited on a different medium. Also if you look closely there are tiny bits of white between the color and the black line, which could have been avoided if everything was done on GIMP.
