Steps:

You should design your poster with the following specifications:

  • Handwriting (can be anything, example is a quote);

  • Other text – facts the help to persuade; incorporated as part of the image. Be sure to credit the source.

• You need a total of three different lines of text; this can include the handwriting.

In addition to the above criteria, your poster should include all of the "Design Rules" that will help you to make an effective, persuasive poster.
