Posters and infographics — Animation for kids

A clear poster has one big headline that the eye sees first, strong contrast, a clear focal point, plenty of white space and only a few colours. An infographic shows facts as pictures: simple bar charts, icons with short labels and numbered steps. Less clear layouts have five headlines all the same size, text over a busy photo, long blocks of tiny text or colours chosen at random. Keep text inside the margins: a 42 cm poster with 3 cm margins leaves 42 − 2 × 3 = 36 cm for content.

Creator's tip

One clear message — “one big headline, few colours, simple charts and plenty of space”

  1. Clearer: one big headline, high contrast, white space, short labels, simple charts.
  2. Content width = width − 2 × margin; column width = (width − gaps) ÷ columns.
  3. Bar length = value ÷ amount for each cm.

Use it for: School project charts, science fair posters, class notices and infographics for presentations.

Worked example: 🖼️ A poster is 42 cm wide with a 3 cm margin on the left and on the right. How wide is the space for content (in cm)? → 36

  1. There is a margin on both sides: 2 × 3 = 6 cm.
  2. 42 − 6 = 36 cm.

Check: 36 + 3 + 3 = 42 cm ✓
