  Good Hygiene • Goal: I want parents and children – but mainly parents to get the message that good hygiene should be a part of everyone’s life. • Audience: General Community, specifically parents of children. • Message: that good hygiene should be a part of everyone’s life. I am hoping that by parents seeing this sign and reading it and learning from it – that they will start to get their children to practice some of the concepts/ideas that the sign talks about. And as many parents do – I would hope that they subconsciously start to model the desired behavior. (I consciously model desired behavior in front of my students without making note of it – given time, my students mimic me.) The design of this slide morphed over several stages to what it is in the final stage. The initial design was something standalone, but it eventually became something more as I added more information, more pictures, changed the color scheme, and modified the text. The final design will be placed in areas that are commonly accessed by my audience; parents/adults. This will include the local health clinic, convenience store, and various spots around the school. The design is simplistic with basic language because my audience is not fully literate in the English language. The boy brushing his teeth, and in the bathtub might make more sense than the words that surround those pictures. In the final slide the boy in the bathtub appears washed out (pun intended!) and is hard to see when viewed on computers other than my own – the image appears fine when I print it, so I do not know what is going on with that …

  Slide 1 • Inthis slide, I went with something basic; a photograph of a child that resembles those that would be found in my community, and some basic text that would be easy to understand.

  Slide 2 • Thisis actually assignment 3 or 4 – we see a big jump, I no longer just have the one picture and one piece of information. Instead I have more than one picture, more information, and I am using a rather subdued color scheme.

  Slide 3 • Inthis slide I worked a lot on contrast – looking at the color scheme, the photos and what I could do to apply repetition, contrast, balance, and type to the piece to bring it together.

  Slide 4 • Again,I am working with contrast and repetition.
• 11.
  Slide 5 • Ibrought it all together in this slide. – Repetition – Contrast – Weighted type to divide sections – Pictures – Alignment • Not quite perfect, but far from where it was at the beginning.
