Week 12: Poster Drafts

I have on of my posters finished, and plan on finishing the other tomorrow.
For my poster, I made a yellow background, with a blue computer in the center.
The yellow background causes a huge amount of contrast with the blue computer within
the center of the screen. This then allows the computer to be the primary focus of the picture.
Then within the screen, I have it yellow, with a picture of Sherlock homes saying "It's elementary  my deer teacher". I figured that the phrase summed up what I was trying to say within the picture because:

  1. The picture is made out of construction paper, and looks like elementary school arts and crafts.
  2. The computer is displaying the image, so Sherlock Holmes is clearly saying that using a computer is elementary.
  3. The shift from "Watson" to "Teacher" shows that the audience is being targeted.
So I started poster two, and I am trying to have a teacher chase a computer in a footrace. I'm having a little trouble in potraying this in terms of a teacher in technological literacy. It's difficult making a teacher out of construction paper. But I have to say, that I'm having a blast in making these. My color scheme is yellow, green, and blue. I tried to make it so all the colors come from the same source, therefore the picture will feel more appealing to the eye. I have the runners on the ground, so there is a depiction of gravity. And I have the computer running in first place to the right of the paper, and the teacher behind, on the left side of the paper.
