Good Design: Shape then Color then Text

Today you will take your research from yesterday and generate infographics (signs) intended to quickly empower students to select correctly between trash and recycling for any given plastic object they may have. This is a more difficult challenge than you might at first appreciate; I recommend doing a couple rough sketches before committing to your final rendering. You have until the end of this bell to complete the task.

In reference to comments I have repeatedly made about design, you will want to prioritize shape above all else. Draw shapes that communicate as much of your message as possible. Then enhance that effort with careful selection of color. If you are still finding that the signage is confusing to others, at this point you may add some text. The more text you need, however, the more I am going to wonder whether you invested enough thought into your shapes and colors.
