This 2-D design embodies several elements of our project that we want our audience members to learn. Our slogan “You are what you eat. Have you tasted the real world?” communicates the necessity of preparing for graduation through internships, networking, academic work, part-time jobs and more. Visually, we wanted to create a “Z” shape with our design. Principles of design state that the eye moves in a Z direction, so we wanted to draw in viewers with a shape that naturally attracted their eyes and a message that communicates the importance of preparing for graduation.
