Rough Posters



Logo Roughs



For the top illustrated logo I wanted to combine the "w" and "m" together and make a organic flowing shape. Also I wanted to make the "w" look look a kid raise his hand for joy, and the middle of the "w" is the kids head. This is just a starting point for my logo.

Two Personas (Wavemaker Program)

Hi I’m Billy,



I’m twelve years old and I have been going to Eastern middle school since the sixth grade. I love to play basketball and soccer. I also enjoy playing videogames, watching television, and eating my boogers. One time my friend Jonathan jumped off a swing from very high and broke his leg when he landed; he got in big trouble. I get bored pretty easily because I’m an annoying twelve-year-old boy with attention disorder, or so my step-dad tells me all the time. School can be cool, if we had more playtime, but most of the time I just sit in class and daydream about pizza and Pokémon.
            One day we had a visitor in class that talked to us about water and stuff. I think her name is Erin, but she told us how there are kids just like me in other countries such as Uganda that have to walk miles to get fresh water every day. I also learned that there is only a very small amount of clean water on our planet and we need to be aware of how to prevent all the clean water from disappearing. I didn’t realize how important water is and it makes me feel bad that other kids like me have to walk forever to get it clean water. I didn’t think I could do anything to help, but Erin told me I could help make a difference.

            Erin said she is part of the Wavemaker Program, and they travel to different schools across the country speaking with kids. It would be kind of cool if we got to do games or activities that were fun, but still relate to learning about water and stuff. Also I love getting free stuff, so maybe a sticker or something so I will always remember the speech.




Hello my name is Mrs. Johnson,



            I have been teaching history at Segway Elementary School for eleven years now. I enjoy teaching, learning, reading, and scrapbooking. I have a wonderful husband whom I’ve been married to for eight years now. I love my little Shih Tzu Tinkerbell, she is my world. I consider myself I nice easygoing person with a positive attitude towards life. I do volunteer work at a local organization called Segway dog resue, where we take in abandon dogs, I just can’t stand seeing dogs suffer.
            This past Tuesday a young Lady by the name of Erin Huber came to the school to speak in my class about the water issues going on around the world. I knew we had a shortage of water on our planet, but I had no idea so many children in third-world countries had to walk for hours to drink fresh water. I figured the children would learn from the lecture, but I actually learned a lot of important information about water and its importance to us.
            Erin’s program, the Wavemaker Program, was designed to teach children and teens around the country about water issues. I would love to be a part of her program and maybe help her teach children at Segway school, so the rest of the children hear can listen the same things that my class learned.
