This Test Table will be very useful in future. While creating my poster I can always look back at this table to see whether all of my Specifications are met. Also, when I’ll finish the poster, this table will make me fully understand whether I have done all that I said I would’ve done or not. Having all the information related to the poster here, and being able to tick down all the factors and “musts” of my poster.

None of the designs make the reader want to join the event and bring from home family and friends, but all of them have appropriate paper size and quality,  include important info (date, place, time), have a title, a slogan, at least a picture, and have a clear message. 

Design One misses a few things: persuasive language as well as beauty, which are two extremely important aspects in publicity. That is why I am rejecting this poster, although the design has many positive aspects like content.

Design Two nearly meets all Design Specification expectation but has only one image which can be a bit disappointing for the reader.. this is why I am not going to chose this design. Pictures are such an important part of all posters, and having only one picture in the middle of the page doesn't seem enough.

Design Three is the design which meets the most points from the Design Specification and that is why I am choosing this design. Colours, content, sizing, and presentation is the best out of the other designs.

Design Four has too many irrelevant aspects and doesn't meet enough Design Specifications to be chosen as final poster.

Other than using a test table, there are many other methods that I could use to evaluate my posters and chose the final one. One of these could be a survey or a questionnaire. I decided that I'd do a questionnaire to some of my classmates and to my sister (Sofia) who is a student in Grade 6. This is because it is actually them who will be part of the audience, and it's their opinion that is essential for me.
