 What’s New

The lesson for this module will be about something that has a special interest
to all of you.
Did you know that ancient Egyptians were the first poster makers?
Hieroglyphs were made in 1400B.C. They were painted on the walls of tombs as their
only form of visual and written communication. The Egyptians were among the first
to combine pictures and words (pictographs) into a whole. These are pictures
characterized by flat silhouettes and bold outlines, like posters, the aim of these
pictographs had to do with their desire to communicate. Their messages were
powerful and persuasive. The whole picture, however, was not meant for us, but for
their gods.

What is It

Make your own poster following the instructions below.

1. Prepare the available materials (illustration board or cartolina, glue, scissors,

cutter, ruler or t square, soft pencil and eraser, coloring materials, etc.)

2. Sketch as many thumbnail ideas as possible, select the best three ideas and
translate them into final designs.

3. Decide which important message you want to communicate to your viewers.

Then, ask the message you want your poster to be remembered.

4. Decide where to place the title. Title should be readable and should be tied
and support other elements on the poster design. Avoid clutter (mess).

5. Choose colors and unify all the elements together. Too much color is
distracting.

6. Use font and font size to your text that contributes to the power and visual
appeal of the design.

7. Have balance between areas without images and texts and areas with one for
your poster to enhance the beauty of it.

Note:

You can use cellphones, any gadgets available that could help you enhance
your output.
