The document provides guidance on designing effective health education posters. It discusses using visuals and text, with illustrations serving to provide evidence, increase efficiency of understanding, or emphasize important points. Color psychology and graphic content should also be considered. The poster should convey its message at a glance. Effective posters generate good ideas, turn ideas into reality through a team effort, and may require consultant expertise. They also follow competition rules and include an introduction, main objectives, detailed advice, and references.

4. The poster is a visual medium. It is
something that the viewer should be able
to take in with a single glance.
The two components to consider for posters
are the use of visuals and the use of text.

5. "Illustrations should serve one or
more of these needs: Evidence,
Efficiency, Emphasis"
B. Heifferen
Writing in the Health Professions 1st Edition

6. Evidence means using
illustration to support
a health claim or
argument, e.g. using
graphs showing the
distribution of flu
epidemics to illustrate
outcomes of access to
vaccines.

7. Efficiency means using an
illustration because it is a
clearer representation than
words

8. Emphasis refers to the use
of graphics for their value
in helping the viewer to
remember something,
especially when the
graphic has emotional or
shock value, e.g. using
pictures of accident
victims to emphasize the
importance of safe driving.

9. Think about how long it will
take viewers to absorb the
message and whether they
will spend the time given the
context.
