Skill: How to present information on a poster

It's about the "BING"... in bingbanners.com
Many of the posters in SunEd High school come from Chinaman (west of the school) or from BingBanners in California.

The design tool for Bing is fairly easy to learn.  The cost is about $2 per square foot, delivered.


The design tool can be used to create "poster quotes" 




LIFI students can study Seth Godin to learn how to make powerpoint and posters that respect the reader.  By studying bad powerpoints, you can improve your own presentations.
