Design is an iterative process: Please develop two rough and one finished poster to show process. Please print out the roughs in black and white so that we can look at the development of the composition. Please print out or compile your final poster in either color or black and white.

Type: The poster must incorporate text, consisting of three or more words. You may use a computer to generate the type.

Images: Only one image is required. However, the image must be clearly identifiable as a photomontage, a composite image created using photocopied means of assembly and production, and composed of all - or part - of three or more individual images. For the composite image to be accepted as a photomontage, the individual images - or fragments - must be clearly, physically connected somehow, such as by overlapping, or by connecting lines.

Borders: White borders around the perimeter of the poster are strongly discouraged, unless they clearly represent a key component of a particular design strategy, rather than simply a means of avoiding having to paste-up a poster in sections. Images and/or text may bleed off any side of the poster.

Purpose: Consider the following:

1. to consider how design conveys meaning;
2. to employ design principles as tools of persuasion;
3. to select appropriate imagery, for maximum impact;
4. to create a photomontagentage;
5. to select and present an issue or idea of personal significance as subject matter for a design project;
6. to explore both technical and aesthetic abilities;
