My first, and personal favorite, banner features a pretty snazzy typographic effect on the word "Clarksburg." Of all the banners I created, I'd definitely select this one to be the overall best-crafted. The choice of making the divide at the bottom of the banner a hill, in my opinion, was a smart one. On the other hand, I definitely failed some of the obvious requirements of the project, such as not using any images other than those provided, but whatever. The silhouette was drawn by me, so there's no chance of that being copyrighted or anything like that. I think it's better to sacrifice a grade than sacrifice my dignity in condoning something as strange as using half of a mascot. I'd get it if this was supposed to be a challenge, that I could understand. However, the actual usage of the half-head throughout the school creates doubt in my mind that this split coyote was purposeful, and not a simple excuse to allow this behavior to continue. This banner serves as a tribute for when I officially lost my mind (kind of like the coyote we were supposed to use!). In the making of this banner, I had no idea what I was doing, and I think that shows pretty clearly. The whole banner is off-balance and strange. I think I had a good idea going here, but ultimately just flopped in execution. I had a longtime struggle with the decision of whether or not to add "Home of the Coyotes" on the side, so I made two banners. Again, I used the wrong coyote, but I think the ears perking up just look way cooler than a jaw dropping. Sometimes we have to work outside the system to achieve change.
