What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students examine how layout, images, headings, fonts, color, and sound affect a message. They explain those effects and choose designs that fit a specific audience and purpose.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students can explain how headings, images, spacing, color, sound, or layout shape a reader’s response. They can make purposeful design choices and connect each choice to an audience and goal.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may judge a design only by whether it looks attractive. They may add colors, fonts, or images that distract from the message or do not fit the intended audience.
How to Assess It
- Give students a cluttered club flyer. Ask them to identify two design problems, sketch one revision, and explain how it helps the intended audience.
