Chapter Six

Part One:

In this lab assignment, you will create an 8.5 inch by 11 canvas. Using the text tool, you will create a "mini" poster with a quote from a "famous" person. Please use:

• The Quotation Page at: http://www.quotationspage.com
• Briany Quote - http://www.brainyquote.com
• Wisedom Quote - http://www.wisdomquotes.com/
• Quote Garden - http://www.quotegarden.com/

Search for a Quote using the Search Term "Vote". For example, I found:

A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.

By Bill Vaughan

Using the word Vote and the quote that you find, please create a graphically pleasing Mini Poster (8.5 inches by 11 inches) that will motivate your peers to vote in the upcoming election.

You will create three different versions/designs using the same quote. You will save your work as a PSD and print out two copies off the color printer.
