Poster machine: a presentation flipchart in 15 minutes

With the poster machine, you can quickly turn a topic into a simple, attractive presentation poster! If you have practiced and prepared your topic well, you won't need more than fifteen minutes. Because the principle of the poster machine is: "Keep it simple!" Instead of creating the most original poster of all time, get a topic into the room quickly and easily. An idea from the book "UZMO" by Martin Haussmann.

A: Clarify the core message of your poster

Formulate it as a keyword, question or statement. Write the core message in a container and place it as a headline in the middle or at the top of the poster.

B: Find a simple motif that gets to the heart of your message

Draw it at the top, in the middle or at the bottom of a flipchart sheet. There are four approaches you can use to find this motif (see below).

C: Add text

Now add your text content in short sentences or keywords. Write them in compact text packages instead of long lines.

D: Design the texts

If necessary, pack the content into containers and illustrate it with pictograms where it supports the content.

E: Connect the text content

Use lines or arrows to indicate whether aspects, effects or influences are involved. Or whether they follow on from each other in a process.

F: Finish the poster

Draw a frame around the poster. Color and shade sensibly with two to three light colors.
