  1. Tropical Rainforest How to design a good poster? Geographical Inquiry

  2. What to do? • Design a poster to show the relationship between space and adaptation in the tropical rainforest. • Use photographs (taken from your field investigation) & text to demonstrate your understanding of the above relationship. Minimise the use of text. • Size of poster: A2 ( we will print for you) Submit the soft copy. • Try this website for poster design: • http://www.postersessiononline.eu/diseno_powerpoint.asp

  3. What is my message? • You are to showcase your understanding of the relationship between the 2 concepts : SPACE & ADAPTATION • E.g. relationship between Space & Diversity Where there is favourable growth conditions, the vegetation is the most diverse. • Content – show photographs taken of the rainforest supported by minimal text to show your understanding.

  4. What should I have in my poster? • Tagline/Title – a phrase, statement or question • Message – understanding of the relationship between space and adaptation • Supported by photographs from the field • Names of members in the group

  5. Who is my audience? • Effective communication starts with knowing who your audience is. ( In this case, your poster is displayed in the school for students, parents, teachers) • In their first 3 seconds your audience will determine whether to stay and explore your content or leave. • If they stay you have 30 seconds to secure their attention by conveying an overall understanding of your subject matter.

  8. A poster is a visual presentation of information.

  9. It should be understandableto the reader without verbal comment.

  10. Use all the space but do not cram in the content - white space is an important part of the layout.

  11. Use colour sparingly - limited use of a few colours is more striking than a 'rainbow' approach.

  12. The flow of information should be clear from the layout.

  13. The title text should be readable from 6 metres away - at least 48-point text. The body text should be readable from 2 metres away - at least 24-point text

  14. Choose a clear font with large inner space Good examples: Arial, Verdana, Georgia or Helvetica. Keep the word count as low as possible.

  15. BAD POSTER DESIGN • too many words • too much text • no bullet format • organization of information is not broken down properly • can’t read it from a distance.

  16. GOOD POSTER DESIGN • easy to read • eye-catching • good color combinations • interesting points.”
