Poster Feedback

Logos: Imag Libr circle logo is important – it should stand out. Untied Way and GBBF may be small (required to include them because of funding)

This is a location for the HORIZONTAL Governor’s Books logo – might fit better in some locations.

Message that needs to POP is Celebrating 250,000 books . . . Look for contrast or simple designs to make this the focus.

Need web site and e-mail address for sure

I'm partial to the trains and mailboxes but the butterflies and book graphic is also good. I prefer the use of “children” rather than “kids.”

So here are my comments (some based on 3/13 drafts others with 3/15 update).

Aaron Cofer. Great background with butterflies. Good to incorporate the web sites. Work with the words to improve readability – possibly delete “Bee apart of the Hive!” Also check the difference between “apart” and “a part.” It takes too long to figure out the message. Bottom row, consider smaller logos and lining things up.

Almetta Belle. The mailbox and train graphic are excellent. Lots of potential to add books somehow. Work with the font and color of the words to improve readability. Work with the logos to get similar size. Add websites. Get Imag Libr to predominate

Megan Lawson. Looking good with the sky and use of Dolly. Like the web sites. Shrink the donor logos and it won’t be so crowded.

Matthew Worsham. (train coming out of mailbox, mts and bookshelves in the background) Like this graphic a lot and eager to see how it develops – words logos etc. LOTS of potential.

Holly Winegardner. Cute and simple (which means readable at a glance) but lacks a good tie-in (like train) to IL. Imag Libr Logo is lost.

Jim Matthews. Another good graphic with the butterflies and the book. Dolly's quote is good too. The background is too busy but I like that it fills the poster - what to do? Fade? Consider putting the quote on the book and fade the background. The train track could lead to the message about 250,000 books.

Brandon Fine. Like the graphic that fills the poster and message but the 250,000 is lost. Consider just the spaceman w/ book, OR the spaceship. (I like the spaceman with book) Will result in more usable space for the important msg. Will be very good with some minor revisions.

Megan Lawson. Good start, but all of the text is lost in the background Play with the background to improve readability. Of course add the website/e-mail
