TIP: Focal point!
Your display will make make more sense if you create a focal point. Add images with that point in mind.... where do the people / animals look at... What is going on there? What's happening?TIP: Keep a Display File!
If you see interesting images in magazines or daily papers, copy them and keep them in a Display file. When in need of ideas flicking through those images can put you on the right track.

TIP: An important rule to present text!
- Don’t use more than two or three colours in a display and show them in tight groups-
TIP: Repetition!
Repetition creates strong messages: a simple word like adventure, book or dinosaur spread over the display board immediately sets the theme.TIP: Create a sense of adventure!
If you create a poster with text and image(s) you can suggest a sense of adventure and ‘out of the box thinking’ if you paste the text or image not neatly within the borders of the paper but over it. (see: Travel the world display)TIP: Use of display space!
Vary the use of the display space. Don't go for the easy: "image at the top and text underneath it". It's like old underwear....... comfortable but not very attractive!!!!TIP: Fonts and sizes
Use different fonts and sizes for a text message on a poster. (see: Dinosaur display) Using only black Times New Roman 12, or any other font you usually use, doesn’t rouse the imagination. Use colours and shades. Red or blue text in ‘Librarian’ looks totally different than black TNR size 20.Meta
