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!
