IAP 2006 Activity


Poster Design 101
Camilla Brinkman
Wed Jan 18, 10-11:30am, 2-136

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 40 participants.
Single session event

Walking through the hallways here at MIT, you are confronted by hundreds of posters, promoting a multitude of events and opportunites. What you choose to look at and perhaps act on depends, in large part, on how well the message came across. A well-designed poster can capture your audience and is effective in its intent.

In this class we will learn how basic elements such as font choice, type size, artwork, color, and copy contribute to a poster that either sings or doesn't. We will take a visual tour of posters from earlier times to the present, as well as design a few samples, based on what we learn in class.
