WOU CSE 615 design share

3. 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!

5. After gathering feedback about 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

7. Design #3
This photo of 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.

9. Design #4
Adding this shape 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.

11. Design #5
This design works 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.

12. Thrilled to have learned so
much in this class!
