Once you have completed your work ethic research you will be able to create a poster showing what you have learned. The overall goal- when someone looks at your poster, it should make them want to care about their work and truly try to do the best they can.
Your poster does not have to look like the ones above; this style has just become the stereotypical "motivational poster". Just make sure your poster has a great message and it looks dynamic & interesting!
The BEST poster will be printed out (poster size) and will hang in the computer lab. The posters will be judged on both helpful facts & design.
A background should be include (other than just white).
You must use at least ONE image that relates to your poster; more specifically whatever you will be writing about.
If you use an image from the Internet, you must cite the image in MLA guidelines as a footnote on the bottom of the page.
Use WordArt to create a dynamic message.
Clearly type your message.
Your name and year must be include on it.
Use the whole page, not just the center.
Be sure to overlap your images- it makes it more interesting.
Not everything has to be straight; feel free to rotate some things.
You want your poster to be dynamic, but not busy. Sometimes if you have too much going on, it can be overwhelming to the viewer.
Pick a theme and stick to it; sometimes less is more.
Good Luck and Have Fun!

You will need to find a inspirational quote to accompany your Image. This quote should be easy to see, large enough read, and also have a little bit of pizzazz to catch a viewer's attention.
You can go to Insert-> WordArt to make it fancy or Insert-> Text Box if you want to keep it basic.
Remember- This is a quote, so use quotation marks. Also, give credit where credit is due- if the quote has an author, list their First & Last name; if it does not, say Unknown.
Here are some Website to help you find quotes:

You can use Google Images to find a photo/ picture. Make sure you use a good quality image. You can use the Search Tools Button and select to search for Size and select Large. I would try to find something with a pixel size of 1000+.
When you find the image you would like to use, click on it to see it in the preview view (black rectangle area). Here you can see the pixel size. Click on the View Image button to go directly to the URL of the image. From this screen you should be able to copy then paste the image from the website into your publisher document (if not, then save the image to your computer, then in Publisher to Insert -> Picture then find where you save the image to your computer).
You may now say, "Hey Mr. Shuler; how can I make my picture fit on the page properly without stretching it and making it all weird like?" My answer- "Well (insert industrious student's name here), You can actually format the picture/image using the Picture Tools Format button in Publisher. Once you click on the picture, you can alter the colors, adjust size, crop the image and more!" Watch the video below for more details:
