Answers must be explained. Don't just type "yes" or "no".

State the problem the designer is trying to solve. Then answer how it is the designer chose to solve the problem. Do you think the designer was successful? Explain.

Does the design communicate what it set out to communicate? How so? If it doesn't, explain why not. How can it be improved?

Is the design: neat, clean, direct, and to the point?

Is it easy to read? If it is - how so? If it is not, how can it be improved? *Readability*

Did the designer create a hierarchy of information?

Is information easily gleaned from the design?

Did the designer successfully integrate the concept with the visual elements?

Is the design appropriate for the target audience?

Is the design created appropriately executed - choice of color, style, size for the purpose or goal of the problem?

Is the audience enriched by their experience with your solution? Explain why or why not.
__________________________________________________________________________USE Self-Assessment Tool

Answer these questions for your own work:
Did you gather enough information before starting your design?

Did you attempt any other designs before ending up with the one you used?

Did you attempt to use new tools and experiment with the software or did you stick to what you know how to do? Explain

If you experimented with different tools, programs, and ideas - how did you do it?

If you did not experiment, why not? Realize that experimenting can lead to new and different ways of presenting ideas.

Did you involve yourself with your design in a personal way or were you more removed (bored) from the design process?

Did you give yourself a chance to be creative? How so? Or why not?

Are your ideas fresh or kind of blah? Explain.

After you have viewed other designs in the classes, do you think your poster is original? How can it be improved?
