deliverables
one printed poster, 24” x 36” – any production trickery [non-traditional shapes, finishes, etc] to the print needs to consider how mass production would impact that production process.

critique
due by 5pm on sunday april 28:
written critique, delivered as blog comments [or email if comments are not allowed] to three students above you in the blog listing on the course website. if you are at the top, circle back to the bottom of the listing. example: haley critiques jessica, sherry, and katie.
please address the following:
play the cynic – does the message seem compelling? do you care about it?
how effective and memorable is the use of rhetoric? does this have a good “twist'“ that invites your participation in understanding the image, as well as an “aha” moment with a good payoff?
how well does it do the things that a poster can do – catch your attention from afar, draw you in, give you satisfying up-close details?
how expertly-crafted is the image- and type-making?
