Mariah had emailed me several months ago about our creating a poster together for a window box outside The Baha’i Center in Rochester NY. I had gone into several activities including children’s classes, study circles, luncheons, Unity night as well as others. We wanted an array of people, all shapes, sizes, color, young, old. We wanted them all! We finally were able to get together yesterday to put it together.
She came in the afternoon. I had set up a few basic things, but was going to play it all by ear. I really was interested in her ideas, and me being able to make them happen. Mariah had stopped in to see her husband at lunch time, and they talked about what might be good to bring people into the walkway to read the sign. With this information, the images, the bright paper, quotes, we started creating what we thought would be good for the poster.
At first everything was literally all over the page- jumbled if you will. It didn’t have a flow to it, and quite possibly, you’d miss a lot more than what you saw. So, we changed the approach, and laid out all the words linear to each other, and then added in images that we felt some how corresponded to the words.
It was a neat activity, and Mariah was fun to work with. Here is what we came up with:
