Unit One Revision

Our talk in class about revising the Unit 1 project made me start thinking about what I can do to revise mine. It'll be a little difficult, simply because my point deductions were all over the place. Just minus one or two points here, another few in that section, and so on. There isn't one thing I can fix that will give me a significant point boost. Of course, I only need a few points to bump my grade up to an A, so I suppose that's ok.
One thing I could easily do is fix the design narrative. I only lost 3 points, but that would most likely be the easiest thing to fix. I can also increase the type size on the rest of the poster, since it was definitely too small. It's so hard to tell when you're looking at something on the computer screen if it'll be big enough when it gets printed out. And for some reason, whenever I tried to stretch the banner and Word Art text design over two pages, it would not work. The second page would just get cut off. So I can scrap the banner and just print some text. I don't know that I can easily remove any of the things on my poster, but I should be able to cover it up pretty well. Those are probably the two easiest changes to make.
Then of course, I can switch the middle pictures around. I hadn't planned on the patient holding the teddy bear to be the central image (or to be as big as it turned out) but after (and during) my presentation, I realized that it would make more sense. So if I reprint those things, and I do still have the edited versions, I can switch those, maybe make the teddy bear image a little bigger, even, since the post-operation woman is kind of a large image on its own. Oh and increase the text size in each of those images too.

The other place I got deductions was in layering, or rather the lack of. And since that's part of this current project too, I should probably think a little more about that as well.
