What makes a good poster? Original - Something eye-catching that makes the public want to stop and read it (color, pictures, drawings, unusual shape, etc.)  Simple - Put 1-2 basic points on each poster.  Colorful - Use color for emphasis, variety, and to get and hold attention. But use colors sparingly.  Organized - Make your points easy to read and follow. Readable - If using more than 5-6 words, use both capital and lower case letters rather than only capitals.  

What makes a good poster? Educational - Use a poster when it helps explain a point more clearly to your audience.  Spaced - space areas between letters adequately. Use 1 ½ letter width between words and 3 letter widths between sentences. Margins should be larger on the bottom and equal on the other 3 sides.  Elegant  Accurate - spelling and all information should be correct.  Action - Tells the viewer to do something and makes him/her want to do it.

Creating a poster process…  A poster is simply a static, visual medium (usually of the paper and board variety) that you use to communicate ideas and messages.  The difference between poster and oral presentations is that you should let your poster do most of the “talking”.
