Poster Presentation: Design Principles Scavenger Hunt

Goals

• Apply principles of effective visual design for print and electronic presentation, including hierarchical, chronological, and spatial arrangements. [CLO 6]

The Task

For this Major Writing Project Activity, review the information on effective design, and then find a graphic that illustrates the design principles. Explain your choice in your answer.

Getting Started

1. Review the design principles of Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity (CRAP).
2. Go on a hunt on campus or online for a good or bad visual that illustrates the principle in each question. Your images can be any kind of visual—a digital sign, a full-page ad in a magazine, a billboard, and so forth. It doesn’t have to be a poster. 
   Here’s an example of how to find a visual for this discussion: Find a bulletin board on campus. Stand across the hall from it, and identify the one piece on the bulletin board that grabs your attention.
3. Take a photo of the visual you have found or save the visual if you found it online.

4. Upload your visual in each answer below, using the Embed Image button shown in the image below:
   

Grading Process

When you submit your work, the points will be recorded in Canvas Grades immediately. I will review your answer. If I find that you did not put in appropriate effort or did not do the expected work, I will adjust your grade accordingly.
