• Here are the two options for your semester end project.

1. Ugly Industrial Revolution Sweater , Sweatshirt(or T-shirt)

Expectations

• Your theme is the Industrial Revolution and/or Child Labor.
• You must have at least 8 pictures and/or props on your shirt. Is more better? Yes. Tacky is our goal after all
• Type a list of your shirt props and tell me how they relate to the theme.

Warning: Make sure your shirts are in good taste. No profanity or nasty shirts. Should I be worried?

Design a movie poster based on the Industrial Revolution, Inventions or Child Labor. Decide on the concept or historical figure that will be the main theme for the movie poster. Overall, the idea for this assignment is to take a significant individual or theme (such as factory owners or workers/children) and create a movie poster showcasing the historical context as the backdrop of the poster. There are a few special elements in the movie poster that make it or break it.

Movie Title

Student-made title must relate to the individual/topic and his/her/its significant contribution to history.

Representation of the Historical Figure/Topic

The individual/topic must be at the center of the poster. How you choose to represent this individual, according to dress, physical appearance, instruments in their hands (book, weapon, broom, torch, chains, etc.) will signify the individualÍs identity, occupation, social class, gender, and what they role the individual had in history.

One-liner Slogan

The one-liner slogan must be VERY carefully written to express the contribution, actions, positions, convictions, or theme this person had on history. Of course, it can be humorous, but appropriate.

Starring & Directed by

Every good movie poster highlights its stars and director(s). Show some creativity while expressing an understanding of historical accuracy.

Backdrop of the Poster

The surroundings of the individual within the poster is the depicted environment. Do not make this a solid, dark color. Think of the printing waste of ink.

References

Place a small web reference to a credible website that can provide further information.

Neatness

The poster must show thoughtful use of color. The poster must show adequate attention to detail to separate the historical figure from the rest of the poster. Judicious use of space is paramount; the poster must avoid wide-open spaces, crowding, and unnecessary gaps.
