Communications 12

Happy New Year everyone.

Comm. 12 is beginning their exam prep.

This week we are looking at visual design, which is  Part C of the BC provincial Exam: Communication  Products.

For this assignment, students are shown that posters use words and images to send a message to the audience. They are to list three things which they think make a poster effective.

Their next task is to choose an issue that they feel strongly about.

1.  Develop ideas for a poster to help communicate their ideas. The purpose of this assignment is to convince an audience that their point of view is correct.
2. Develop a rough draft.
3. Create a final draft.
4. Publish and display your poster in the classroom.

This assignment will be scored out of six using the scoring guide for visual design.
