Alignment Poster



This poster was created using Microsoft Word. The assignment was to create a poster with similar alignment to that of the poster on p. 85 in our textbook. All components are relatively aligned to each other in the poster. For example, the two columns of text and the one orange column at the top are both left justified, while the main title and "TOOTH&PASTE" are justified left and right. All of the text falls between the same left and right margins despite the two varying justifications. For the images (top to bottom), the top of the cap of the first toothpaste bottle is aligned with the top of the orange text paragraph. The bottom of the 2nd tube is aligned with the bottom of the text title. For the third tube, the bottom of the cap is aligned with the bottom of the "S". The lowest corner of the last tube is aligned with the bottom margin of the text.

The graphics are connected to the legible typography on the page due to their similar content. All typography, with the exception of the large "S", are serif fonts to unify them, while the "S" is san serif font to separate it from the remaining text. The same bright colors were used throughout the poster to also show a connection between elements. The alignment of the text allows the viewers attention to be drawn from the top of the page down. It appears easy to follow the column format. Priority, however, is given to the title and "TOOTH&PASTE" because they are in all capital letters.
