  Design #1 Starting out,I was thinking that I would try pain as a motivator for my audience. I thought the hot burner would get noticed. This isn’t even a very good picture, but it’s now the only thing I can say that is remotely good about this design. I’ve learned so much!

  After gathering feedbackabout my negative message, I changed my photo and some of my words to enhance the fun. The oval shape was frustrating, as I couldn’t make anything good happen with the text. The colors in this sign are not compelling. The blue text gets lost in the busy background and the yellow is just hard to read. Design #2

  Design #3 This photoof people playing a game inspired my final push into getting out of boxes. I was pretty proud of myself for using the fun font for the title. But, look at the boxes. This design is boxy, poorly aligned (centered was a bad idea, and the Alacrity doesn’t line up with the header) and boringly monochromatic.

  Design #4 Adding thisshape during the lesson on color was a game- changer! Suddenly, I began really thinking out of the box. This lesson opened the door to try the AR Christy font, to customize the lines of shapes with complimentary color and to think about how to break up the paragraph with color.

  Design #5 This designworks for me. I’m confident that my message is loud and clear. The AR Christy font is fun, almost comic-like. The shape is a “POW” that draws attention to the message: be a kid again, have fun learning. The primary triad colors work well for a “school” theme. My words support the message that hiring me will result in fun learning for staff development.
