Digital Informationboard at school

Hello,

My school just got a couple of digital informationboards put up around the school. The IT-person on my school is not very good at her job and she comes to me a lot of times asking me about things. A few months ago I went to Tanzania to film and photograph for a company and as my laptop was broken I asked if I could get administrator access on my school coputer so I could install photoshop. They gave me admin access and I'm now officially the coolest kid on school, lol haha. Anyways the other day the IT girl came to me and asked me if I could do the graphics for the information board. As she remembered that I use photoshop "Of course" I said, without thinking and now I'm sitting here with water over my head. I though graphics couldn't be harder than editing my photos but it sure was. 

I could just tell her that I don't have time and that it was a little overkill for me but that would kill my reputation as the guy who knows shit and I don't want that haha. 

Anyways if anyone know some good templates, want to share some easy tricks or just has some spare time and good knowledge of ps this is your time to shine.

It would be helpful if you could describe what you're actually doing.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

Yea sorry about the lack of information. 

It's an information board so they want, food schedule, news, announcements, and information about projects etc. So there will be some photos with text and some with just text. 

 

They want it to look simple but at the same time esthetic and professional.
