Coniglio EAR+Step+1



I chose these three examples because of how they were set up visually. Each on grabs your attention in a different way. The first one is not only a different shape and size than the other two, but also has bright yellow emoticons that grab your attention. Things are grouped together in ways that make sense. The second poster is set up with circles sectioning off the information into sections that relate to each other. And the last poster is different in the fact that the background is black and the lettering is white, as opposed to the other way around, which we see in the other two examples. There is also a giant stop sign that grabs your attention. It not only relates to the message the poster is trying to convey, but it almost says "stop, look at this poster!" to anyone walking by. I chose these three examples because of their attention-grabbing techniques and the way things are set up in a way where the information that goes together, stays together. The attention-grabbing aspect will be very helpful for me in addressing deaf students because posters are one of the only ways they can learn about clubs and other organizations and meetings on campus because if a teacher or faculty member says it during a class and they don't have an interpreter with them, they miss that information.



For my poster, I tried to recreate the sectioning of information I saw in the second example with boxes. I also tried to recreate the attention-grabbing aspect of the the third example by including pictures that would be recognizable and familiar to deaf students. I think the fact that it is a blue background and white and black lettering also is attention-grabbing. I made up the Club For the Deaf but essentially it gets my point across that deaf students often feel left out because they can not make friends with hearing students easily. To combat this, I think it would be cool to have a club where deaf people could meet other deaf people, to build friendships to last them until they eventually meet hearing people and add them to their circle of friends.
