Arrangement & Logic • symmetry • alignment • rhythm • dynamics
Tips on Designing Posters • Whenever possible use no more than three colors per representation! • Create blocks; group contextual units (also) by displaying them in close proximity to one another! • Always use the same color and shape for related subjects! • Stress important parts, for instance by using red or by using a frame, underlining or cross-hatching! • (Also) use empty spaces as a design element; leave plenty of open space! • Don’t use abbreviations – write everything out! • Use the stimulating effect of free-style graphics; paint a “picture” of your own! • Whatever you do, avoid perfect representations; images that are too “smooth” seem cold and create distance! • Test your visualization (!) by presenting it to friends or colleagues, and ask them for their opinions!
Presentation • Preparing for the topic and the goal • Preparing for the target group • Preparing the content • Preparing the flow • Preparing the organization • Just Do the presentation
A thorough preparation leads to • more information, knowledge of details • more personal clarity • the possibility of well-aimed visualization • the chance for a smoothly organized flow of events • the availability of materials as needed • ultimately, greater self-confidence in making your appearance
What belongs to a meaningful preparation? • topic • goal • target group • content • flow of events • organization
Preparing for the Topic and the Goal • Topic and goal should not be mixed up • The emphasis lies on the goal Topic: Spring retreat of department X Goal: Roadmap for department X dig for hidden goals
Preparing for the Target Group • predefined participantshere is a number of interested people what is my solution • selection of participantsI have a solution who are the interested people
Preparing the content • Gather and select material • Condense • Visualize
