Answer 1

Put a hot chick in a bikini with a phython wrapped around her riding a flaming motorcycle.

Answer 2

A big mistake many new designers make is to think that all empty space must be filled. Designers call those empty areas, "negative" space. We can use this negative space as an element of design. Negative space sets of, and, often highlights some of the important elements of the layout, such as the headline, or featured graphic.

You mentioned that you have everything you need on your poster. If so, that is ALL you need. If you are restricted on poster size, then find a way to lay everything out in a logical, flowing manner so that the most important elements are the first thing the eye sees. The lesser elements, then fall into place. Finally, the bottom of the poster sums up what you want the reader to do, or to remember.

Things like ribbons, frills, tissue and scattered pictures will only distract from the important information. You want people to get the message, not comment on colors, gold pens and other elements that have nothing to do with the French and Indian Wars.

The elements do NOT have to all run together. They must flow, top to bottom, left to right. The negative space lets the eye rest on each "block" of information, to "soak up" the message.

Answer 3

Pictures of red coated British infantry opposed by pics of Eastern Indians signifying Braddock's bloody defeat near Pittsburgh, PA in 1755. Braddock's army built a road in the wilderness as they marched into the French and Indian trap. It was corduroyed with logs across the path for the wagons. Might be a good way to use the ribbon and paper.

Answer 4

How about a picture of a young George Washington? The French and Indian War was his first battle experience. He was known in the Virginia colony as the "Hero of the Monongahela" for his heroics in the Battle of Monogahela. The British General Braddock was killed, and Washington rode around rallying the troops to keep them from retreating. He had 2 horses shot out from under him, and had 4 bullet holes hot into his coat. It was a sign of his later heroics in the Revolutionary War.

Answer 5

If you have pix of people, cut out their heads and shoulders and paste them on the poster like audience in the background. Or you can make mountains, grass, trees, tee-pees, props, etc. out of the tissue (colored of course). Also, the ribbon can be use to give your pictures a 3-d effect. Simply cut out the ribbon to make it look like the shadow of whatever you put on your board. If wors comes to worse, use the empty space for interesting information, diagrams, pictorial timeline, wartime qoutes, etc.. Hope I helped!

Answer 6

dont listen to the other guy who posted an answer

what an idiot.okay why not fill the blank space maybe with designs of some of the weapons used during the franch indian war or maybe some pictures of the war like in thought bubbles or somehting akin to that amoke as if the smoke of warfare captured the scent of the imagination of what the war may have been like according to you and your project partners activities

below is a link to google already linked to french indian war

Answer 7

here is an idea, take copies of text documents, historic preferably and paintings of the war, use them as the background to completely cover the space before putting all the other things on it. If eveyrhing for the project is already glued down, cut the copies of paintings and documents to fit around them.....perhaps fill in with a gold pen around the edges.

Answer 8

a large rickety door. It had some inscriptions on it. One of the scientists, an eager young woman traced her fingers along the inscriptions trying to decipher what language it was. She came to the middle of the door. Crouching on all fours, she found, to her astonishment an insignia of an unusual animal. It looked like a blue panther with wings. She dusted off the dirt and touched it. Suddenly, she was wracked with shivers all over. The others ran to her help. They rushed her outside, but, it was too late. She died. She had an unusual blue coloring on her palms. The rest of the team were all shaken up about this incident. But they decided to go back to the cave and investigate as to what happened, what went wrong. They reached the strange door at the bottom of the cave. The insignia looked a bit too prominent now. The air became thick and heavy. They started hearing noises and saw a strange bluish smoke come from the door. They tried to get out but couldn't. They were too weak. They died one by one. One of them managed to get to the mouth of the cave but he also fell dead. The last sight he saw was this- a blue man with wings walking out into the sun. Lemme know if this is any gud!!

Answer 9

Glue the pictures on there with the tissue paper under it [like make it frilly or something. And you can line it with the ribbon.

Answer 10

Perhaps go outside and grab some shrubs, wood sticks, etc... and create a scenary regarding the event... something that demonstrates the physical features of where the event took place!
