Poster project

Design and create a poster that will highlight your interests.  We will use these posters to deliver a 2-3 minute oral presentation.  The presentations will be delivered on Monday, October 8.

The poster must have/be:

• Visual impact: use of colour, headings, lettering
• Neat
• Well-organized
• Correct spelling/grammar
• Creative
• Format/presentation
• High work quality/effort

One strategy would be to decide what you want to say first, then use a blank sheet of paper and design the poster, finally you would actually create the poster.

Have fun!
