My 5 Sketches


My notes as art director:


The 2010 Association of Army Recruiters national conference will be held Oct. 26 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The conference provides a forum for addressing new strategies, tactics and tools to improve the recruiting process.
Our company has been hired to create a power point presentation that will be presented at the conference titled Sustain an All-Volunteer Force Composed of Highly Competent Soldiers. The attendees of this conference are all members of the Army serving their country as Army recruiters.
You are being asked to create a pie chart to be used in this power point presentation. The pie chart will represent statistic of recruits from the primary recruiting market (17 to 24 year old males) for the Army. The pie chart will represent in percentage values the recruiting market for the Army.
The goal for the pie chart is to illustrate proportions of the primary recruiting market for Army recruiters. When viewing this chart Recruiters need to be able to quickly compare the size of the slice for qualified candidates with the whole pie. It will be used at conferences for two years and as training material for new recruiters. The design should have strong elements that evoke patriotism while remaining professional. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out.
Statistics to be used for chart:
29% Fully Qualified
20% Medically Disqualified
6% Morally Disqualified
7% Disqualified due to dependents
22% disqualified due to being overweight
16% Require Medical or Moral waiver
The image should be 300 dpi / 5 " x 6" / CMYK. Please submit 5 thumbnail sketches by Friday with the final chart to be submitted by Friday, August 13, 2010.
You are being provided with 16 hours to complete this assignment.
