Becoming an Outlier – A 5-Part Series
Part 1: Born During the Right Time & Place
For this project, you will create a series of posters – 5 total – that will outline the process, or the pathway to becoming an uber successful individual. This is a series, so each poster in the series should fit together – design-wise – as a whole.
Poster 1: Born During the Right & Place
How does one become an "Outlier"? It starts with being born in the right time and place – one might say that throughout history there are periods where a number of people rise to renown. But are these people famous only because they were born in the right time and place? Would they have become equally famous if they had been born in another time and place? Being born in the right time and place is just one facet of accumulative advantage.
Guidelines and Parameters
- Document Size: 20" x 30" – 300 Resolution
- 1/4" bleed
- Establish a design theme you can use for each poster – keep in mind that each poster could be displayed side-by-side as a whole display
- Use a consistent font strategy – size and type
- Use consistent imagery – real pictures vs graphics
- Color scheme might help establish consistency but could be different as long as it's clear each poster fits together as a whole
- Keep text simple – you don't need to overload the poster with too much text – it's not an essay after all!
- Think Infographic style
- Correct Spelling is a MUST
- Chapter notes can be found in handouts/CSB/2016-2017/Outliers
