Create a Poster Board Project easily and effectively, since poster board is one of the most convenient tools for school and office presentations. Poster board is one of the most convenient tools for school and office presentations. Why? Because it’s affordable, easy to use, available in many poster board sizes, and comes in a wide range of colors. It can be easily cut, scored, and folded, making it versatile for any project. Accessories such as borders, stencils, and markers are also widely available to help turn a simple sheet into an impressive display.

Poster board, project board, and foam board have been used in science fair projects and professional presentations for decades. Think of a sheet of poster board as a blank page on which you can showcase your topic. Whether you use a normal poster board size for a classroom task or a large poster board size for a fair or conference, the goal is always the same: to keep your design clean, clear, and effective.

Things You’ll Need:

(Most of the above items can be found in our Poster Board and Accessories section.)

Step 1

Split your presentation into five main sections. The first or the last section should be a summary of the whole project. You can begin with the summary and repeat it at the end for emphasis.

Step 2

Type and print out the title of your presentation. Cut it out and glue it onto colored paper or directly onto the board. You can also use stencils and markers to write directly on the poster board.

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

Step 3

Decorate your poster board sheet with assorted borders. This makes even a thick poster board look more professional and polished.

Step 4

Arrange and glue the colored sections onto the board: place two sections on each side and one section in the middle, with two below. Leave space for pictures. Add shadows, signs, or arrows using Two Cool Colors Markers. This layout works well on both normal poster board size sheets and larger displays.

Step 5

Print and glue pictures in the right spots. Use markers to highlight key areas and connect ideas visually.

If your project requires more space, consider upgrading to a large poster board size. Using different poster board sizes strategically helps make your work stand out.
