Graphic Designer Needed

I got no design skills, I need someone to put together some snappy signage for the malt school.  just a poster board or two, Hand drawn is cool, printed is cool too.  

Here is some of the info we were thinking about in the malt school thread, very open to suggestions, just wanting to get the ball rolling:

Here are some ideas I have. Gonna need a graphics person probably to help design the signage for it. I'm thinking something like a large posterboard with something along the lines of:

There are 4 key ingredients in beer, Water, Malt, Yeast, and Hops

Today we are looking at the roll malt plays in your beer

When grain gets moistened it will begin to sprout, there are enzymes active in the grain converting the stored carbs in the grain into sugars so the seed can use them to grow, this is where maltsters step in and heat the grain to lock in that enzyme profile, the temperature, duration, and ventilation during this heating process, known as malting, determine the flavor, color, and diastatic power of the malt. Diastatic power is a measure of how many enzymes are left over after the malting process. With modern processes we can make incredibly light golden malt, all the way to pitch black Patent Malt.

Brewers often combine several different malts to use characteristics of each to achieve their final goal, to help decipher this and learn about the contributions different malts can have, our intrepid brewers have made a selection of single malt beers to an identical recipe, the only variable being the malt, to help inform your beer drinking and also your beer brewing.

For whoever can work on this,

For whoever can work on this, there is also some more info for each of the grains used for Malt School on the beer list for the event. 

Steven is already doing a lot of work for the menus and banners for the event; he can provide some of those images, but it would be great if someone else can chip in for what Joe is asking for here.

Just as an aside, Steven does

Just as an aside, Steven does consistently unparalleled work on CHAOS graphics stuff but we should try to beat the bushes for some graphic design help for him like we did for Lucas and the web-site. Prob'ly wouldn't hurt to have several people in each department.

Hey Jamie, Joe already looked

Hey Jamie, Joe already looked this over and said it's good to go, so if you want to post on FB that would be cool. I'll print this out and bring it to the brewhouse for Sat.

Thanks, Nanc

Thanks! I was talking to Joe,

Thanks! I was talking to Joe, and we will make 3 more of these posters, one for each key ingredient for a complete series. I thought we could frame and hang them at the brewhouse somewhere, but for right now we'll just have this one for Saturday.

Looks great!  Only suggestion

Looks great!  Only suggestion would be to have the main text block in black as it doesn't jump out for how informative it is and how low light the brew house gets for parties.  Just a thought.
