12. Designing your Display
Designing your Display
Your Display Board is one of the most important components of your project, as it will highlight all of your hard work like a commercial does for an upcoming movie. This vital piece of the puzzle should not be left to the last minute, as people are drawn to your project by your display.
Keep the following things in mind while creating your display board:
* Your project should read like a book....from left to right.
* Originality is encouraged with materials used in a creative way
* Your display must be neat and organized, with proper grammar and spelling throughout.
* A project that is pleasing to the eye with extra effort into the display
photos, charts, tables, graphs, will be certain to catch the judge's eye!
* Your title should be related to your project topic
Example: A project based on parachute design might be titled "Oh Chute!" Or a project based on buoyancy might be titled "Staying Afloat."
* Be very careful when using glue on your board. Many brands of glue show through when you drizzle the glue on the page. Spread the glue evenly on the back of your pages to avoid glue lines:
