My poster will be a serious one. I have found no pictures to use, as of yet, on my poster. I Have neither a quote nor an idea of design for my poster. I will need to think of all of this prior to starting. I do not know what size I will make my poster. Out of all this I do know that I will likely choose a simple, professional, and appropriate theme.
My Capstone Project involves utilizing the program known as EB-5, to create jobs and bring wealth and to oilfield cities. I plan on building housing in the oilfields. The housing i build within the oilfield will hopefully assist in developing a sustainable level of economic activity within these towns. By sustaining the economies withing these towns, the cities will, theoretically, not rerun to their economic state, prior to the oil boom. my project was rejected on the grounds that i did not have my own end product.

the 5 most important things to keep in mind when creating a poster are as follows.

1. Have a clearly defined purpose in mind when creating a poster.

2. Make sure that the size of poster being produced will fit its location and venue properly.

3. Narrow your potential images and ideas down to only those that are most crucial.

4. Make sure all images are properly sized to fit their importance in your poster.

5. Select a font that is easy to read from a distance.
