AIM: HOW WILL WE CREATE A POSTER FOR OUR FAVORITE SPORTS (OR DANCE) STAR'S NEXT EVENT?

DO NOW: If someone came up to you and said you could have a pair of free tickets to any sports event or any dance event in the world, what event would be your choice and why? You can research such events on the Internet to answer this question if necessary.

The event you chose is your basis for the poster you will now create using the POSTER TEMPLATE in the Publisher program. It is like creating a full page ad or a flyer, but bigger and has numerous folds. Go to Publisher and then to Publications for Print and select Poster, and select the design that will work best for your presentation. This is a project to be graded and counts as a competition and you will create a postcard to be used for handout advertising for the same event as well.

What do you need to include in a poster?

1. Headline?
2. Picture?
3. Logo?
4. Event information, such as who, what, when, where and how much for admission?
5. Should anything else be included? If so, what?

10 Pt. Bonus Question: How is a poster different than a postcard and that includes how are they used differently?
List at least two differences. Be specific. Explain.
