A. poster ACTIVITY
1. For this activity you are to create a poster (or alternative artifact) that should have a clear message about some aspect of copyright.

- To create your poster you may use various media such as digital photography, drawing tools, downloaded images, as well as online sites.
- Check with your teacher to see if there is a specific application or media type that should be used to create your poster.
2. Sketch out your poster idea digitally or offline (on paper) to brainstorm what you want the finished product to look like. Be sure to include some text that conveys your message.
3. To ensure your poster has a clear message you might:
- Describe the meaning of pirating digital works
- Describe how the author/creator of a digital work might be affected when someone uses their work without permission
- Describe ways to double-check your work for possible piracy
4. Take digital photos or collect some public domain images to use on your poster. The list below are sites to find some images in the public domain (free to use):
5. Create your poster using the appropriate software. Add your signature (first name only) to your poster to verify that it is indeed your work.
