How do you create a poster: Individual Critique & Grade

On a sheet of paper sketch out the layout of your poster: Graph Paper

Why Sketch?

At the start of a design job instead of jumping straight on the computer take a short time to scribble some ideas on a paper - ideally a layout pad. A layout pad is ideal as you can process your ideas, if something doesn't’t look quite right, then trace over the bits that do work and adapt the bits that don’t. By spending a short time sketching you can save yourself hours on the computer.
