Poster Borders

Just look around to see how borders are used everyday to add emphasis:

  • The way in which the trim around doors and windows is painted can alter the entire look of a room.
  • The right (or wrong) type of frame can highlight (or clash with a painting or photograph.
  • Pick up any magazine and notice how colored borders are used to make certain photos or advertisements stand out on the page.

Borders are just as important and useful in posterboarding!

TIP: When choosing a border, think of colors, shapes or symbols that are associated with your poster's topic!

 

 

Something as simple as a plain solid colored border can add a highlight to your poster and unify your theme.

Check out this list of a few fun poster border ideas to get your gears working!

  • Draw double helixes for a DNA poster.
  • Use yellow "Do Not Cross" tape for a poster about a mystery or forensic investigations.
  • Attach buttons to a poster on sewing or a Betsy Ross project.
  • Trim a travel poster with strips of post cards
  • Edge a poster on chemical additives with empty artificial sweetener packets.
  • Use magazine images for a poster on celebrities, body image, fashion, etc.
