M1 Design Midterm

Which factors are important to consider when designing a postcard for a specific country?

How can researching postcards from different countries help you when designing your own postcard?

 If you designed a postcard, what could you improve to make it more visually appealing?

• Use more basic shapes and fewer images

• Add more cultural symbols, landmarks, or local animals related to the country

• Remove the country’s name and only include images

• Use only one color for the entire design

After designing a postcard, you realize the background color makes the images hard to see. How could you improve your design?

• Change the background to a brighter color that contrasts with the images

• Add more pictures on the postcard

• Use a transparent background

• Remove the images and only have text

11 When developing a design for a poster, what is the first step you should take?

How can you ensure that the message on your poster is clear and easy to understand?

• Use very small text so it doesn’t take up much space

• Make the text large and concise, and use easy-to-read fonts

• Fill the poster with as many words as possible

• Use complicated words that show advanced vocabulary

13 If you want your poster to represent the IB Learner Profiles clearly, what should you include?

• A random collection of images

• Symbols, icons, or images that represent each of the learner profiles

• Only the text of the learner profiles, with no visuals

• Pictures of things unrelated to the learner profiles

How can you ensure your design solution meets the needs of your intended audience?

What role do colors play in the design of a poster?

What is an effective way to check if your poster design is successful?

• Ask someone who hasn’t seen your design to give feedback on whether they understand the message

• Check if the colors are bright enough to attract attention

• Look at it yourself to make sure you like it

• Ask someone to approve the design based on how many elements it includes
