Today in Design Studio, we had an in-class assignment where we had 2.5 hours to make a poster showing off PCC's "Core Outcomes." These are values that, as PCC students, we should strive to live by. Most students don't know they exist, so these 11x17 posters are simply to raise awareness.

I'm working on the layouts, colour scheme and infographic for my magazine re|action. Imagine each of these images as two facing pages layed out in front of you. The first two are for the cover story, which is essentially the most important article and centerpiece of the magazine. The third image is for a feature article, which is secondary only to the cover story. The fourth, fifth and six are for sections, which are a recurring element of the magazine. These are for a book review and two film reviews.

My latest assignment is to work on a poster for PCC's Career Center. The main goal of the poster is to increase awareness of the existence of the Career Center as well as something called MAP, which is an online thingamabob that helps you plan your college goals. The poster is 11x17 with no bleed. This means that the image can't go all the way to the edge. They're only running a couple hundred on a laserjet and the printer can only print about .125 inches from the edge of the paper, so they're all going to have a white border of about half an inch.

These first comps are all based on a thumbnail I did of an oversized question mark. I really got carried away with it. These aren't the only comps I'm going to do. I'm going to try a couple other directions (which I'll post later). What do these posters say to you?
