Hey Lynn, I liked how you drew all your images. They really came out nice and definitely added a lot of creativity to your project. All the pictures were a perfect size and could be easily seen. The writing for both the key and the timeline, on the other hand, could have been a little bit larger. You have to get pretty close in order to read them. Both of our societies, mine was India, had patriarchal societies and a leader to run the society or kingdoms of the society. However, there were differences between our two societies. Unlike the Mesoamerican king who had servants and seemed to have more control, the Indian tribal chief had advisers and much less power. I’m just wondering why you chose to put the calendar as part of the first theme, interaction between humans and environment. It seems more fitting for the second theme, which incorporates science and technology.
I really like the look of your poster. It seems that you put a lot of effort into it, and those hand-drawings for pictures are awesome! It is much easier to understand than a vague picture taken from the internet, in my opinion. My only criticism is that you could have probably made your text a bit larger. That way, it would be more pleasing to the eye, and much easier to read for an audience (of course). Judging from your drawings it appears that our two civilizations, mine being Mesopotamia, were similar in their revolutionary style of agriculture, as a result of both civilizations resting in fertile parts of the globe. Our societies seemed to differ in that mesopotamia had kings, and by the way you depicted, not divine, all-powerful rulers. It is quite easy to understand your poster just by looking, and not reading. A question though; why did you decide to draw your pictures, not print them? was it difficult to find pictures for Mesoamerica online? Did you feel it would be easier for people viewing your poster?
