Assignment 5
In this assignment, you will use Adobe Photoshop to design an 11x17 poster that creatively presents five cool-down techniques for students who may feel overwhelmed or dysregulated. Your poster should be visually engaging, easy to read, and designed in a way that makes these techniques accessible to all students.
Cool-Down Techniques to Include:
✅ Counting backwards
✅ Deep breathing
✅ Getting water
✅ Removing yourself from the situation
✅ Journaling or drawing
This is an opportunity to use your creative skills to support your fellow students by designing something that could make a real difference in someone’s day. Think about how you can use color, typography, and imagery to make your poster visually appealing and effective.
Incorporating Photography
If you have strong photography skills, this is a great chance to apply them! Consider using original photos to visually represent these techniques in a meaningful way. Thoughtfully chosen images can make your message even more powerful.
