Make sure you have researched protest/political/propaganda posters, as well as picked three issues that you think would make a strong poster for this election. These should be worthy of a campaign, and could be environmental (wheat paste a la Shepard Fairey), stencil, and so forth. Consider your audience (18-24 year olds), and that this MUST be a call to action. You are trying to prompt your audience to vote.
Think about Voice and Audience, as well as delivery method. This will be part of a system.
To reiterate:
For class on Friday:
1. Writing #2: James Victore
2. Poster research: Three posters on one pdf page. Be prepared to discuss WHY you chose them, and WHO designed them.
3. Political poster research: In addition to your general poster research, please find THREE political posters that you think are well-designed. These should be interesting and worthy of discussion. Please put all three of these on a single page pdf as well, for a total of 2 pdf pages per student.
4. Project research: Select a minimum of 3-5 issues that you think could be a strong direction to pursue for your poster assignment. For example, James Victore created an anti-racism poster that is very strong, but also shocking to many audiences.
Our visiting artist for the project, Helen Armstrong, will be joining us in class, and we will use the entire class period for lecture and a work session for you.
