Display Board/Project Poster Design Tips Your Project Display Board or Poster is your opportunity to present your project visually. Your goal should be to incorporate all the necessary information both informatively and attractively. Feel free to be creative in your design, and remember that you will be using your display board to attract judges to your project at your EnvironMentors Chapter Fair. Elements of your display board can, and should, be pulled from your research paper. Required Elements • Project Title • Abstract • Problem Statement • Research Question • Hypothesis • Experimental Procedure • Materials List • Map(s) of your study site(s) location • Results (Tables of data and observations as well as graphs and charts) • Discussion • Conclusion • Acknowledgements Items to Display on the Table • Extra copies of your Abstract for the judges • Final Research Paper in a 3-ring binder • Your EnvironMentors manual with all your raw data and project planning information Optional Elements • Photographs • Drawings and Diagrams • Newspaper articles related to your environmental issue • Water or soil samples (if applicable) • Model demonstrating an element of your project Design Tips Color Consider incorporating colors that relate to your project topic (blues for water quality, greens for forest issues, etc.) Balance Distribute your information evenly across your entire display board. Font Use a simple font such as Times New Roman or Arial, and use the same font for your entire board. Vary the size, or use bold or italics to add emphasis. Creativity Feel free to use any creative techniques you think will enhance your board such as borders or color background sheets. However, strive to keep it simple, uncluttered, and professional looking.
