Use a computer to design a poster. Make an overhead out of it and then shine it on the wall for tracing.

Masking tape in little rings works best. No tape should show.

Tips for event promotion:

• An event is only as good as its advertising.

• The brain loves novelty (size, shape, color, etc).

• One great product is better than five lame ones.

• Advertise X 3 = Each person should see or hear a message at least three different ways.

A few more tips…

Use another color or butcher paper as a border

Glitter is NOT a color. Rubber cement works best when using it as an accent

Keep slogans or phrases simple and easy to read. People read posters in a hurry

Tips for using

• When using paint, use the dull side of butcher paper. The paint sticks better.

• Ask art department for old paint brushes or sponges because they are still good enough for tempera paint.

• To keep paint over time in a cup, put a damp paper towel over it with a rubber band. Also, save old, empty paint bottles to mix new colors.
