Lessons from the Drawing Board....

I wanted my posters to "pop" with a succinct message that would intrigue a potential reader. For me, dramatic colors are important. Since my topic is writing, I wanted to use iconic images and colors - yellow for writing paper and classic pencils. Since my paper emphasizes the Grammar Wars, and resolution to them, I wanted a "military" (in a pacifist sort of way, of course) look to the graphics. I decided on toy soldiers.  On my first layout the text is both centered and off-center to try to gather interest. However on my second draft it was distracting - so the text is centered and the graphic is skewed. I used "pedagogy" on one and "teach" on the other, and at the moment I am leaning toward "teach" for the terminology. The text in the first poster has some passive voice, which I am not sure about, so in the second poster I took it out. I futzed a lot more with the first poster but I am happier with the second.
