History Poster Write Up

My history poster uses a Modern style. My poster teaches the viewer a brief history of the Major League Baseball Team, the New York Yankees. My poster follows the years from 1996 to 2009. During these years the New York Yankees have captured 5 world series championships, my poster helps capture theses different moments in time. My design uses the rule of thirds as well as all the essential principles of design. Emphasis is used in the title "The History of New York Yankees," alignment is used with the text. The bullet like text and use of photos create flow and repetition. Contrast is used wen I lighted up the Yankees logo so the viewer can see the text, and balance is all throughout the design from the logo to the tag line. Color and typography play a huge role in expressing my design and getting the overall feel for the poster.
