Non Profit Checklist

For your Non-Profit Poster you will either pick a Non-Profit or you will create your own.
Your new file will be 8in by 10 in.
The components of this project are as follows and create in order: (Note: Each one should
be their own layer to save time. This way you can edit instead of redoing.)
You need a background of images that support your cause. The images must be yours or
modified with Image Trace or other techniques so that it is changed 80%. DO NOT
DRAG YOUR IMAGES INTO ILLUSTRATOR. You need to Place them.
There has to be a logo and it needs to be your design. Even if the Non-Profit has a logo
you have to redesign it. No exceptions. Think of fonts. Think of symbols. BE
CREATIVE. No boring designs please. You may download fonts via dafont.com and/ for
this project. Only 3 Fonts can be used on your Non-Profit Poster design.
You need to inform the viewer in details what your cause is. Make sure to be specific.
Use data if you can- statistics of how we could make it better. For example: If you cut the
rings around your soda pack 50% less water life would die. (Not a real fact but you get
the point.) I need to see this text on your poster.
There has to be a hierarchy of your work. Your LOGO needs to be prominent. You
background has to be interesting and catch the viewers eye. Your information has to be
accurate and engaging.
