How to Make a Poster Board Presentation

Poster board is a good presentation tool for almost any type of school or work project. Poster board presentations are seen at school science fairs throughout the country. A piece of poster board is quite literally a blank page on which to present your topic. It is also the clearest and most concise way to give a presentation. The key to making a poster board presentation is to keep it clean and simple no matter the topic.

Things You'll Need

• Trifold Poster Board
• Permanent Markers
• Glue Stick
• Computer With Printer and Internet Access
• Plain Paper
• Construction Paper

Instructions

1. Split your presentation into five main sections. One of these sections should be an overview of the whole presentation.

2. Type and print each section. Use one page (horizontal or vertical) for each section. Glue each page into the center of a piece of construction paper.

3. Glue the construction paper onto the trifold board in the following manner: Place two sections on each side and one section in the middle.

4. Use a permanent marker to write the title of the presentation in big letters across the top middle of the trifold board. Draw a decorative border around the edges of the poster board.

5. Print and glue pictures onto the poster board in any blank spots or draw pictures using a permanent marker.
