Which element must a poster always carry?
Show answerHide answer

Show answerHide answer
Answer: It must be read and understood at a glance, often from a distance
Explanation: Legibility at a distance and speed of reading both favour compact phrases.
Key concepts: Writing: Poster (Class 11 English)
A poster is a 3-mark task of up to 50 words, marked one each for Format, Content and Expression. Unlike a classified, it is designed to be seen — read at a glance, from a distance, by someone who was not looking for it.
- Marks and limit
- 3 marks — Format 1, Content 1, Expression 1 — in up to 50 words. One question out of two is to be attempted.
- The caption
- A short, arresting title in bold capitals, carrying the message on its own: SAVE EVERY DROP. It is the first thing assessed under format.
- The issuing authority
- The name of the school, club, department or organisation behind the poster. An unattributed appeal has no credibility and loses a format element.
- Event details
- For any event poster, date, time and venue are the content. Without them the reader cannot act, however striking the design.
- The slogan
- A memorable phrase that compresses the appeal — 'Speed Thrills But Kills'. It is what the reader retains after looking away.
- Phrases, not sentences
- A poster is read at speed and often from a distance, so it works in short blocks of text rather than continuous prose.
- Visual hierarchy
- Varying size and placement guides the eye — large caption, smaller message, small details. This arrangement is what makes a poster readable quickly.
- Illustrations are optional
- A simple sketch may aid presentation, but candidates are not assessed on drawing ability. No mark is lost for a poster without artwork.
- One message only
- Crowding several appeals onto one poster means none of them survives. Choose a single message and support it with at most one or two facts.
- A call to action
- Awareness posters aim to change behaviour, so address the reader directly and say what to do: donate, plant, switch off, slow down.
- Poster versus classified
- Both are 50 words and 3 marks. A poster carries a caption, slogan and issuing body and is displayed publicly; a classified carries a category heading and appears in a newspaper column.
- Where marks are lost
- Writing continuous prose, omitting the caption (format), omitting the venue or date (content), and repeating the same idea in different words.
