Display Board (WR 13)

There is no greater feeling then completing a big project, and then stepping back and it looking great. This is the feeling I had once I finished my presentation board. I had been working hard on it last week, and finished it today, Sunday, after hours of work. I certainly learned a lot throughout this whole process. The biggest thing, is that things don't always go exactly as planned. I had created a mock-up sketch prior to starting and was sure my board would look exactly the same. That didn't end up happening. The first thing I noticed was that the text was much bigger than I had planned. After realizing this, I had to rearrange my board and even leave out some parts to fit everything in. The next thing that I had to change, was the color of the titles. I originally thought they would be silver, but that color wasn't dark enough and so I switched to black. Finally, I had thought it would be a cool idea to have two stripes go across my board. After getting some different opinions from classmates, I decided to scrap them. They didn't add a whole lot and just took up too much valuable space.
