Posters

Learning Targets:

  1. I can name 3 components of a poster.
  2. I can name at least one reason for using a poster.
  3. I can create a poster to announce an event at school.


Posters are often used to announce something. Some examples are:
  • music concert
  • school festival
  • art fair
  • new movie
  • political campaign

Below are some examples of posters.
What are some of the things they have in common?
What are some differences?









Sometimes posters do not announce a particular event, but are there to remind you about something all year long.




Create a poster for the Winter Choir Peformance at VCS.
Use the 8.5 x 11 template in Publisher to create a poster for an important event. You can go to goole to save an image to your Flash drive to use.

Below is information about the performance from Mr. Orlando.

Ask yourself these questions:
  • Which information is most important?
  • Which information should be largest?
  • Which information can be smaller?
  • Does all of this information need to be included?
  • Which information can be left out?

  2. I can align text or an object to the margins.
  3. I can send an object or text to the background or bring them to the foreground.
