Informative Poster

Good Essays

I created an informative poster for the multimodal portion of this project. An informative poster is meant to have just enough information on it to catch a persons attention, but not too much that it overwhelms an individual because then they will not pay attention to the poster. Although there may not be many words, the poster needs to captivate a viewer so that they will further want to look at the organization that created the poster.
