 Welcome to 50 Days of Keynote, 50 things you can create for the classroom. Today's topic, how to use Keynote to create great posters. Why Keynote and not any other poster generator out there? Well, with Keynote you have full control over the design tools. You can add elements, move them around in any place without any constraints. Here students are also encouraged to think about effective design elements rather than just replicating things on a template. It's then their own artwork so they don't have to copy from anybody else. It can be easily exported. There's no login required to an online platform and they have the added advantage of being able to collaborate with others if the possibility with Apple ID is given. The design tools are the same as anywhere else. We have images, fonts, colors and shapes. What I'd like to do when I teach students how to create great posters is to have them really understand these basic rules. So posters should have clarity. It should be legible. There should be a good contrast. There should be a harmony between the elements on the page. There should have something, a real eye-catcher. It should be a really good and well-chosen color scheme to evoke a certain mood. And the composition, all things how they go together should be really effective because that is what a poster does and what a poster is. A poster communicates a message and that's what effective posters do. They stand out when they're next to other posters. They deliver their message and they say something about the messenger. So what are some lesson examples? Here I have a few for you. Travel posters, a show or exhibition and protest posters. So with a travel poster you can have students research online to see what posters there are. They can choose the elements. They think that are relevant to this topic and then they can choose a city or country and showcase the place with their own design. With the exhibition, students also can use online tools to research what great historical posters there are. For example, on the World Fair or Bar House or Woodstock or World War II. Then they can either design something similar for an upcoming exhibition at school or they can create a poster for a past show. Here they should also again reflect on what they've done and what really makes the design effective. A very good topic these days is climate change or the climate change process. So here is a really great opportunity to have students create a poster to communicate their message on climate change. They can again research online, choose a motif, choose a slogan and create a poster to reflect this. How can this be done in Keynote? Let me show you. So in Keynote what you should do is you should change the document format to click on slide size, choose portrait 3 to 4, change the background color in this case to black, add a circle for the earth. You want to add the continents as well, change them to green and then place them over each other to get a real earth and added drawings or your text. When you're finished export to PDF or image and there you have it. That was already day three. Join us on our journey, follow us. You can find all the videos here and all the Keynote files here. See you tomorrow.
