Hi all

I have a list of words that I need to include on a ‘poster’. I am looking for ‘clever’ ways to make the words visually appropriate to their meaning…

For example: ‘Achievement – has the v replaced by a tick! ‘Choices’ – is made up of a selection of letters in different fonts/colours. ‘Discrimination’ – has one of the i’s standing isolated in the word (Discrim i nation)… get the idea? There’s probably a word for this kind of thing (apart from ‘corny’).

If you would like to help with this or have a completely different (better) way of presenting these words on an A4 folder cover (50% covered by organisation name and agency logos) then I would be extremely grateful. Perhaps you might even find it an interesting intellectual exercise.

Here’s the full list of ‘words’:

Achievement
Celebrating Success
Choices
Discrimination
Entitlement
Equal Opportunities
Inclusion
Prejudice
Respect
Rights and Responsibilities

This is for student folder in the educational establishment that employs me, I will earn NOTHING from it – it’s just one of the many jobs given to the artistic guy that knows the basics of Photoshop.

Thanks in advance

Ric

Here’s the full list of ‘words’:

Achievement – run with the tick – sounds good maybe too god on a ng? Celebrating Success – trophy for the ‘t’
Choices – as u suggested
Discrimination – maybe prison bars for the ‘m’?
Entitlement –
Equal Opportunities – Equal = Opportunities
Inclusion – large font size on the IN – extremely small font size on the
clusion
Prejudice –
Respect handshake between Re and spect (it doesn’t need to make sense does
it? just to convey a message?)
Rights and Responsibilities some play on R n R ~ rock n roll

Obviously using InDesign or even Illustrator would be the best way of creating your ‘poster’, Illustrator CS has distortion and 3d tools for you to add even more effects. You could download the demo versions and see.

Anyway onto your ideas, the choices option may not work, try sticking to either different fonts or different colours. Using both, to me, seems to be too much, it needs to be readable at A4.

An idea that may (or may not) work is to use a thesaurus, looking at alternative words could spark an idea, just a thought.

A little off-topic, especially considering an illustration or page-layout program is generally more suitable for type than is Photoshop — but I had a couple of ideas FWIW:

Equal Opportunities

Stacked, with "Equal" larger (or extended or letter-spaced) or "Opportunities" smaller (or condensed) so they match in width?

Inclusion

A big, bold, sans-serif U with "Incl" running down the inside of the left stem, and "sion" running up the right?

Celebrating Success:

Cent symbol for c’s, dollar symbol for s’s?
