Design Thoughts: The purpose of this design is to show my ability to create and use patterns. I created the chalkboard pattern and added it to the background. I used the design principles of alignment, contrast, and repetition as I created the content of the poster.
Alignment: I chose to align the text and the box the text is in along the top 2/3 of the design, with the blooming tree on the bottom 1/3 of the design. I also used proximity while aligning the text.
Contrast: I chose two contrasting fonts for the growing quote. The black lines and the chalkboard lines are also contrast, as well as the bright blooming tree.
Repetition: I repeated a red from one of the flowers for the font color. I also repeated one of the fonts to make the words 'Grow' and 'Planted' stand out.
