Effective poster Design

There are four key factors that affect design impact

legible text

Space

Backgrounds and colour

Graphics for impact

Legible text

information should flow from left to right and from top to bottom

columns allow readers who may be unfamiliar to easily follow the direction of your information

for ease of reading nothing beats black text on a light background

Space

effective posters are spacious and easy to follow

adequate clear space will direct attention to key elements

remember the eye looks for edges,so align photographs,headings,text materials and axes in groups of graphs

Backgrounds and colour

Colours and backgrounds should be subtle.

Some of your audience may be colour blind so make sure contrasts are high between bars of graphs.The most common form of colour blindness effects red and green

Graphics for impact

aim for 40%graphic content,try to find ways to show things visually

graphics should be attractive,clear and specific

viewers see what they are told to see in an image, so provide captions for your graphics
