Practice 3

 

In this practice, you will first look at advertisements, and then create your own for a poster or display.

  1. Using magazines or the Internet, find two examples of full-page print advertisements. Study the layout, design, and placement of the graphics and text in the examples. Ask yourself the following questions: What is the message being conveyed? How do the graphics complement the message and enhance the visual appeal? How is colour used to draw attention or create a mood? How does the text formatting (font, style, and size) emphasize the message?

  2. Create your own poster or advertisement using Text boxes, WordArt, and Graphics. You might want to publicize

    • a school drama production
    • a community or school sporting event
    • a public awareness campaign (e.g., recycling, wildlife conservation)
    • an event such as a carnival, dance, rodeo, or committee meeting

  3. Print Preview your document to see it in its final form. Make any necessary final adjustments. Save your document as “Poster 2” in your INF1030: WP1 folder.
