Students are required to create an effective poster advertisement to advertise an upcoming school event, International Evening in December, to their peers, families, and teachers. The poster must satisfy the end-users' (Miss Daykin and Miss Barton) requirements and convey the theme of the event through manipulation of form, which includes elements like images, text, shapes, and colors. To be successful, the poster must communicate important information to the target audience—the ISM community of students, parents, and teachers—through consideration of its function, form, and collaboration with end-users.
