Make a Poster! (25 mins)
We are going to make a poster. A poster with the slogan: ‘Violence never solves any conflict’ like the example above. Of course, you can come up with your own slogan.
Decide if you want to work on the computer or on paper. On the computer you can work with the program Word and use word art or with Paint for example. On paper you can work with crayons, coloring pencils or paint, or collages from magazines.
Type Violence never solves any conflict.
Select the letters and change the color and the font.
If you want to use word art, go to: Insert: Picture: Word Art or Autoshapes and then choose styles or shapes.
Keep designing until you have a good clear layout for your poster. And don't forget to save your file.
