Bulletin Board on Presidential Primaries

This bulleting board was created in January of 2008. Since I am a historian in training, this bulletin board was created by me, mccain4prez08. This could have been seen from the months of Janauary and February in the Building D residence suites. This bulletin board provides multiple positive examples of still projected media, but there are some drawbacks to this selected bulletin board. For this board, I used three major colors, red,white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. The flag background fit will with the theme of the bulletin board. Also, the title of the bulletin board can be seen on the top of the piece. By using contrasting colors in the title section, I was able to highlight the main idea. Another positive aspect of this bulletin board is that the pictures of the presidential candidates are large enough to see from the optimal distance.

While there are multiple strengths of the bulletin board, there are also multiple flaws with this creation. The most obvious flaw with the bulletin board is the small size of the font. The material should have been printed out in a larger font so that the information could be seen from farther away. The information located on the top right of the bulletin board is much too small to read from a distance. Also, there is simply too much material in each of those boxes. Instead of writing a paragraph for each box, I should have limited the amount of words on the board. Also, I did not use a boarder for this bulletin board. It is important to use a bulletin board to focus the attention to the center of the board. Although the American flag background may look nice, I believe that the background draws attention away from the material located on the board. If I were to do this bulletin board again, I would make those changes to make this more readable and less cluttered.
