Camp Poster

This is a Visual Assignment and its worth 3 and a half stars! For this assignment I worked with The Spooky Sisters which is also known as Britney and Ashley from the radio show. The assignment is to make a camp poster. For our idea which actually came together by meeting on campus this week, we had decided on first the name of the camp itself. The camps title says it all in the haunting theme that come from our characters. Then we decided to make the date of the camp be halloween since it is a week away and then since all of our characters deal with death we thought it would be appropriate that death is the end date of the camp itself. At the bottom of the poster we put that the camp was sponsored by the spooky sisters and then took the photo I had created for our radio show and used it for the poster and had a black backdrop with a white font to make it pop. Overall I believe the final product was pretty good and I hope people show up to this deadly camp.

All About Camp!

As a child, every summer I attended Camp Thunderbird in Chesterfield, Virginia. I’m definitely not the outdoorsy type, but every summer it was the activity I looked forward to the most. Camp Thunderbird is a great all day camp. During the day, you do anything from archery, to horseback riding, to art class. My all-time favorite activity we would do at camp was using the new zip-line! I mean, what kid wouldn’t want to glide through the sky?

So when I got the opportunity to make a poster for my favorite summer camp I took it. Why wouldn’t I? It was fun, and brought so many great memories back from the good ol’ camp days!

Really what I did here was incredibly simple. I took my favorite activity, zip-lining, and found a great picture for a poster! From there I put common information that would typically be displayed on a camp poster, such as the name of the camp, the location, the dates, and a contact number. I made this poster on https://www.picmonkey.com! It’s super quick and simple!

Campy camp posters: A Prisoner106 project

I never went to summer camp.  I didn’t have friends that went to summer camp.  For a while I thought summer camp was just something that existed in tween/YA books to move the plot along.  Parents were out of the picture.  Kids were left to sort out their own problems and/or engage in hijinx and adventure.  Camp was a macguffin of sorts.

Look at ALL the summer camp posters!

Enter the best summer camp of all:  Camp Magic MacGuffin.

Camp Magic MacGuffin closed with the the end of summer 2012.  The facilities have seen better days.

But a tribute poster was still in order.

I borrowed a couple of images from the Camp Magic MacGuffin site including the header and the “visit the camp store” logo.  I just erased “store” so that it says “Visit the camp.”

Visit the camp store I used GIMP for this poster.  The Magic MacGuffin header is a layer.  I merged the cabin with the “Visit the camp” text so the two were easier to reposition.

I also found some campy and hippie fonts to use.

And just for fun:  some Magic MacGuffin counselors meet The Prisoner:

Camp Poster: Video Games!

video game camp

For this assignment I was supposed to create a poster for the camp I wish I attended as a kid. So I thought “what did I do as a kid?” I played a lot of video games, so I went with that. I chose an N64 image since that’s the system I mostly played when I was younger.

For the camp itself, well it’s a camp, with video games. So it’s sort of like Video Game High School, where video games replace traditional activities. So they’ve got pizza and soda and tournaments and whatnot. Oh, and did I mention video games? Because video games.

For the poster, I was once again able to get away with using Paint. Similar to the previous assignment, I found a picture, posted it on paint, and added text boxes.

Visual Assignment #1 ~ Bad Math Camp

Bad Math Camp 2015

Make a poster an advertisment of some sort for a camp or summer activity that you enjoyed as a child. If you didn’t go to any camps as a kid, make a poster for a camp you wish you had attended.

This is my poster for math camp. As a kid I wish I had gone to a math camp, I think it would have been cool, however I took a little liberty with my interpretation of the assignment, and made the poster for a “bad” math camp. No one in their right mind should want to go to that math camp… To make the poster even more ridiculous there is an implicit restriction, namely r,\ q \in \mathbb{Z}.

As for the process of making this poster, I opened up Photoshop, and then colored in the background with the two shades of green. The idea there is that the chalk board has just been erased, yielding the multicolored parts. Next I opened up an application called LatexIt, I used that to quickly typeset the math in Latex, the program is nice in that you can copy and past the output as a png file. After it was in Photoshop I used the magic wand tool to remove the white background around the letters, and in the closed regions of the letters (what a pain). Then I used the Fill tool in the edit menu to color the text white (before it was black). There you have it! A Poster for a bad math camp. Bonus points for anyone who cares to point out the flaws in each of the statements..
