Becoming an Outlier – A 5-Part Series
Part 4: Capitalizes on Opportunities at the Right Time
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 4: Capitalizes on Opportunities at the Right Time
How does one become an "Outlier"? Some might say, good old fasion luck. The pragmatist would chalk it up to opportunity. Either way one looks at, how a person takes advantage of an opportunity is key. And hopefully, he/she put in his/her 10,000 hours to be ready. Need an example? Look up Bill Gates, Bill Joy, or Joe From.
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
