The document introduces the goal of justifying a transition from laptops to tablets for at-risk and credit-recovery students in a correspondence program to colleagues. The audience is colleagues in the correspondence program and some administrators. The message of the sign is that tablets are a better fit than laptops for the at-risk students in the correspondence program.

2. My goal for this sign is to introduce and justify the idea of switching
from laptops to tablets to my colleagues in the correspondence
program. This transition will start with our credit-recovery/at-risk
student population.
As mentioned above, the audience for the sign will be my
colleagues in the correspondence program, as well as some
administrators from our district.
My message is laid out pretty specifically in the design. Tablets are
a better fit than laptops for the at-risk students enrolled in our
correspondence program.

4. • It’s so interesting to look back at my first
design and see what’s changed. One thing
that really sticks out to me about my first
design is the amount of white space that I left
in the design. Another thing that I notice is
how I changed the wording of my text to make
the message more clear.

6. • For this design, I remember thinking how
much better it looked because it was more
compact and the components fit together in a
more logical way. While I wasn’t completely
happy with how it turned out, I was satisfied
with the progress that I had made. The major
changes here were overlaying the title on the
image and bringing the text body and subtitle
up beside the title/image.

8. • I started playing with the different idea for my
sign’s design over the course of the class and
ended up with this design during one of the
later weeks of the course. I strongly
considered changing and polishing this design
for my final, but ended up going back to the
original and improving it with the knowledge
that I had acquired. The major changes here
were the title and subtitle, the color scheme,
and I went back to the top to bottom layout of
my information.

10. • For my final design I decided to got back to
something similar to my first design, at least in
the format and wording of the title/subtitle. I
also chose to use a two color color scheme
that were complementary according to the
color wheel. I chose to align all text to the left
side, which I ended up liking. I also polished
up my text and re-phrased some of included
evidence.
