Here is my final chili cook-off poster, done in InDesign. I'm pretty happy with it - I think everything translated from marker comp to printing very well. I didn't change much at all; I did make the black box in the background align with both side margins, and I increased the stroke on the word "chili." And of course when I mounted the printed version on foam core, I forgot to leave a border. Go figure. Last night was a late night in the print shop, and I was a little preoccupied with getting the litho ink off my hands so it wouldn't smudge my poster. Anyway, I think if I had to change anything I would move "march 16th on the quad" to below the title and then somehow fix "in honor of national ag week" so it's not floating around on the top. I'd also add one or two more shades to the gray part of the pepper to give it some more depth (these were all suggestions from my professor...so not my own ideas, but I do happen to agree).
