Assignment 1 - A Persuasive Poster

Everyone gets fired up about it! Should smoking be banned in public places? Where do you stand on this issue? What are the most powerful images you can use to get your ideas across?

Choose one side of this argument and develop a colorful drawing or collage that is intended to persuade others to agree with your way of thinking. Your audience consists of people who are neutral on the issue or have an opposite position from yours, so it’s important to get their attention.

Use poster board, drawing paper, or a digital program to create your poster. Remember, the idea is to persuade the viewer by the images you capture or create, not to sway them with words alone. When you are finished, scan the image or take a digital photo of it and save it to your computer. Then go to the next page (it will launch the blog list). Find your blog/portfolio and upload your picture to be graded.

  1. I like it. That is a lot of detail for Paint! The cloud of smoke hanging over the street and the debris gives an interesting perspective. I like how the message in the text is understated, very simple and direct and very true. I would like to see the text get a little more attention.
