8. When designing a poster
Pay attention to:
• Content
– You can’t include everything so you really need to know, what’s
important
– Titles should be interesting and informative
• Style
– Should fit the content, client’s image and your own taste of style
– Colourful is good, but too much is too much
– The fonts (readability and style)
• Different elements
– Make sure that pictures are clear and usable
– Usually people notice tables and figures before body text
– You can highlight or clarify contents with bullets, text boxes, lines,
boldings, italics…
