Poster Board Design


1.      Create a draft of your poster board on paper (eHow suggests creating sections – see the class examples if available).

2.      Decide how large your title should be (use the title template if available).

3.      Print and cut your title for the poster board (before attaching you may decide to add a construction paper background or other decoration).

4.      Write/Type needed paragraph/essay/etc. and then select, save, insert, print and/or sketch needed pictures, graphs, charts, etc.

Note: Pictures can be saved to the computer and inserted into Microsoft Word or Publisher to include a caption (use the picture caption template if available).

5.      As time allows, review tips on www.artskills.com (find poster tips on the left menu) and www.ehow.com (search for How to Make a Poster Board Presentation).  Consider what borders or decoration could enhance your poster and create and/or print/cut.

6.      Make a final decision about where all items will be placed on your poster  then attach with glue/other.

7.      Practice what you will say about your poster when asked (refer to your assignment guidelines to draft your speech).
