It is for TSA, they have to create an 8x10 poster type picture that has to do with promoting something, or has to do with a dragster theme.

I'm a professional graphic designer and I have no idea what you are talking about.
You really do have to be more specific.

Ditto. These products will help...

Make My Logo Bigger Cream

Seriously though, we do need more to go on. I'm a graphic designer as well and I have no idea what you want/need. Psychic abilities did not come with my degree... (I have to remind people at work often)

Sorry guys its hard to explain, here is the description from the website "Promotional Graphics Participants (two individuals per chapter, one entry each) develop and present a graphic design that can be used as a TSA recruitment tool and that includes the theme for the next year’s conference." the link is "http://www.tsaweb.org/High-School-Competitions" after you go there scroll down to promotional design and there is a video explaining what you can do

Blake,
Try this for a description:

The TSA is holding a competition for Highschool Students in various categories and my sister would like some help coming up with ideas on the theme of "____________" for the 2011 year (please fill in the theme for us, as it is too much digging when you are asking for peoples help)

I looked briefly and did not see what the 2011 competition theme was. find that and provide it and you will likely receive much more help.

Ok -- after another quick look I found the conference theme for this year... "Snapshot of Innovation"

With something that vague, I can understand how you would want some help with getting started.

---------------------------
Nevermind -- I'll take care of it myself!

That was for last year which is this year. We have to do the 2012 theme, which is dragster, Cad 2d Architecture, or promotional design.

From the Website:
National Conference | Technology Student Association
Which lists the themes:
Quote:
2011 National TSA Conference
June 21 - June 25th, 2011
Gaylord Texan Resort
Dallas, Texas
Conference Theme:"Snapshot of Innovation"

2012 National TSA Conference
June 21 - June 25th, 2012
Gaylord Opryland
Nashville, Tennessee
Conference Theme: "The Road to Success"
Now on the particular website that you listed, there are a whole lot of categories that you can enter

Quote:
Dragster Design Participants (two individuals per chapter, one entry per individual) design, produce working drawings for, and build a CO2-powered dragster. Click here to view a video description of this event.
Quote:
Promotional Graphics Participants (two individuals per chapter, one entry each) develop and present a graphic design that can be used as a TSA recruitment tool and that includes the theme for the next year’s conference. Click here to view a video description of this event.
Quote:
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) 2D, Architecture Participants (two individuals per state) create representations, such as foundation and/or floor plans, and/or elevation drawings, and/or details of architectural ornamentation or cabinetry. Students may be expected to animate a presentation of their entry. Click here to view a video description of this event.
Keep in mind that each of these categories have their own themes or requirements.

There is not a "Dragster" theme. It is a competition to create the fastest co2 powered dragster.

CAD competition has its own set of requirements as well...
