Tips to design a digital poster
Message
- Make sure your message is clear.
- Remember your poster is all about inspiring people to become more active during the summer school vacation.
Text
- Text should be short and simple.
- Make sure your text is clear and large enough to be read easily and quickly. Your poster will only be on screen for 10 seconds.
- Double check your spelling.
- Don’t put any text too close to the edges of the design, leave some room around the edge.
- Extra marks will be awarded for a clever slogan or tagline
Colour
- Use bright and bold colours which will stand out.
- Be careful not to use too many different colours or your poster could appear too busy.
- Make sure colours you use aren’t too similar, it’s important your text stands out from any colours you use.
Images
- Any images used should be clear/not blurry and eye-catching.
- Remember images should help support any text you use.
