The History of Presidential Primaries

This bulletin board is located in the History department building on the second floor. This board contains many pins, bumper stickers, and advertisements for past presidential candidates. This board has been up for at least two years. The colors of the board are very bright and really catch the eye. On the blue half there is material from democratic candidates and on the red half there is material from republican candidates. I chose this particular board because I feel it is one of the interesting bulletin boards on campus. The main strength of this board is that it is very eye catching. The boarder around it makes you focus in the middle of the board while the colors make you focus on one half at a time. This bulletin board has many weaknesses too. There is no given title on this board. Even though the board is self explanatory, it still needs a title. Another problem with this board is there is too much information and it is not organized in any manner. If I were to put this board together I would group material together based on a time line. I would put Bush material with Bush material and FDR material with other FDR material. Another problem with the board is that much of the print is quite small and would be hard to read from a distance. While this board has many flaws it still gets it's message across and it is still one of my favorites.
