Becoming an Outlier – A 5-Part Series

Part 3: It Takes 10,000 Hours to Become a Master

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 3: It Takes 10,000 Hours to Become a Master

How does one become an "Outlier"? Expertise. And expertise doesn't come naturally – it takes practice and experience – 10,000 hours of it to be exact. Have you ever wondered how much "practice, practice, practice" means? Now you know.

Guidelines and Parameters

  1. Document Size: 20" x 30" – 300 Resolution
  2. 1/4" bleed
  3. 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
  4. Keep text simple – you don't need to overload the poster with too much text – it's not an essay after all!
  5. Think Infographic style
  6. Correct Spelling is a MUST
  7. Chapter notes can be found in handouts/CSB/2016-2017/Outliers
