Adam, In response to you and Tina's discussion regarding the positioning of the logo, I think putting the picturee on top (with the text positioned around it in the same way) and the logo on the bottom might be more useful. That puts the BENEFIT first (increasing "openness" in education and/or for kids). With that benefit in mind, the viewer of the poster can bring their eyes down to what it is that will PROVIDE them that benefit. Your current order puts more emphasis on the product, not the benefit it provides.
If this is for an educator's conference, they may not be as familiar with OO.org <http://OO.org>, so placing the logo of an unknown product BEFORE the benefits it provides may cause the poster to be overlooked. I'm imagining people seeing an unfamiliar logo and thinking, "Huh?" and moving on. Reversing the position of the logo and the picture (combined with some of the text changes I suggested in another email) SHOULD provide a familiar image and the suggestion of a benefit, then lead them TO the OO.org<http://OO.org>logo. As an aside, depending on the range of people who will be at this conference, you may want to consider making similar posters (2-3 more, if you can) that have pictures of kids in different age groups. These kids look like 5-6 year olds. If you could get some late elementary school aged kids, some Jr. High kids and some High School kids, that might make an even LARGER impact. I'm thinking people who don't KNOW what OO.org <http://OO.org> is MAY think it's something for young children if the current poster is the ONLY one they see. It also wouldn't hurt if you could have girls and children of different ethnic groups in the pictures. That would provide images that would resonate with the widest range of people. Ok, at this point I think I've changed EVERYTHING. Sorry about that. Just my thoughts.
