Concept Poster

Concept posters visually communicate your idea. Combine images, words, and diagrams to tell your concept's story. This makes abstract ideas concrete and easy to understand. Creating the poster also clarifies your own thinking.

The 30-Second Test: A good concept poster communicates its core idea in 30 seconds or less. If you need to explain it, the poster isn't working. Keep testing until it passes the 30-second test.

Visual Hierarchy: Headline first, then the key visual, then supporting details. Most posters fail because everything fights for attention. Focus on one focal point and ensure everything else supports it.

Common Mistakes: Text-heavy posters are documents, not posters. If you need paragraphs, you haven't distilled the concept enough. Cut until it hurts.

Using the Poster: Pin it where the team sees it daily. Reference it in meetings: 'Does this decision align with the poster?' It's a commitment device, not just communication.
