Tips for a good poster

• A good poster will make people STOP, READ, REMEMBER and TAKE ACTION.
• Read the rules/guidelines carefully and follow the directions.
• Be sure that the information that you put on the poster is correct.
• Do some research about Radon. Go to Radon.Utah.Gov to learn more about what radon is and where it comes from.
• Posters can be created with crayon, colored pencils, markers, paint, collage, or photographs.
  
  • If you use photographs be sure that they are focused and appropriate photographs (makes it easier to recognize)
  • No posters using computer graphics will be accepted this year
• Think of your poster as a billboard advertisement on this topic.
• THINK & BE CREATIVE. Come up with a catchy idea or ideas.
• Start out by drawing or sketching your idea or ideas onto a regular piece of paper.
• Ask adults to critique your ideas and tell you what they think.
• GREEN, RED, BLUE or black letters look best on white paper.
• Use short phrases instead of long sentences.
• Do not use different colors for each word or letter. It makes it hard to read.
• Do not draw tiny or put too many drawings on your paper – Less is better!
• HAVE FUN!!
