Blog Entry # 4.9 - Final Design


To make sure I met the Design Specification, I checked off everything my poster needed in order to be complete. I chose the font because it seems to fit with the culture and name of the country. This design is better than the others because it is more creative with the placement of the letters and the overlapping text and picture. I chose this layout because it fits nicely on the poster and the pictures are neatly lined up. I want tourist to know what the flag looks like. That's the reason for it being in the middle. I also did the same for the leader. My teacher thought the poster would look a lot more interesting if i rotated and rearranged the name of the country, so did I.
