WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS
Did I mention that my first real task at my new job is basically requiring the skills of a graphic designer--which I am not?
It's not that bad, actually, content is also critical to the project. But I want my content to be appealing to the eye and darn it if I just can't figure out how to make it look good! Finally, our nuclear symbol transformed into a flower is a bullet-point for the display board posters. That was quite an accomplishment--But printing the sections out to larger sizes is tweaking me out...and I know I could do so much more with the right tools.
At the same moment--maybe people will read the text if they aren't distracted by fluffy graphics. Unless they serve a pedagogical purpose--there is not a reason for graphics. And, I have always been textually oriented. In college, I never used power point for presentations. I have always educated via spoken word, using very few visual examples. Maybe I need to change, maybe not.
The Board is separated into three parts. The middle-panel is the center-piece. It holds the Mission of SRA, pictures of members, and a Please Join section. Stage left is the "Nuclear Power is Not Green and Clean" Then Why Do We Need a Watchdog, then the two proposed developments, and ways "You Can Act." Stage right is the "Idaho Has Renewable Potential" One big explanation of all the renewables, picture of windmills, and a map of Idaho's renewable sources: Geothermal, Solar, Bio-mass, Wind. That's it. Whew!
It's the gauntlet, there always is one at the beginning of a job. So little air down there too. No sunlight. Lucky for music and a door to close for giggling and groaning while I work.
