The poster design studio: Design lead
A student team designs a fictional library event poster. You play the design lead and work through 9 short levels, about 14 minutes in all. Where you start: A poster should help a reader find the event and act. Visual hierarchy means important information is noticed in a useful order. The work connects to careers such as communication designer and graphic designer. It is free, and your reflection stays private.
