and the alignment of all elements is also balanced. A hard line on the right-side
of the document is created through the vertical alignment of the images.
Additionally, a hard line is created through the alignment of the text area
between the images. I chose to use CMYK values for the backgrounds of the
images as a nod towards the printing process utilized in many print documents.
I feel that this color choice not only created contrast but ethos as well.
In the rough draft stages of the poster, I considered changing the color of the
background of the poster. However, as I decided to utilize the color scheme that
I did, I feel that the white background works better. The paper would be
standard poster size (11 inches by 7 inches). I also included the BSU logo to
enhance the credibility of the poster.
I designed this poster, ultimately, with a new tech world meets old tech
world ethos. I felt that the inclusion of the images as well as the grid design and
the typography used created tension and contrast that would attract viewers.
The repetition of the vintage typewriting image, with CMYK backgrounds,
creates a Warhol-esque screen-printed feel.
Ultimately, I am pleased with the design of the poster and feel that it improved
greatly through several drafts. I feel, as a BSU student and member of the
English department, that this poster would catch my attention. Oftentimes I find
that the focus of the technical communication department lies heavily in creating
professional ethos through office imagery. While this is an important element of
the technical communication field, I feel it is important to also emphasize to
potential students the exciting, creative, and design-oriented aspects of
technical communication. Personally, it is one of my favorite elements of the
program and I feel that many students entering the technical communication
department would be pleasantly surprised to find that they are able to combine
the best of both technical and creative worlds through print and on-screen
production.
