Guide to Effective Displays

Grade 6 Exhibition

Page 2: Exhibition display

Three basic steps to planning a successful display:

Before you begin, you must..

Know your target audience

Know the purpose of your display

Plan to involve your audience

Page 3: Exhibition display

Know your audience:

Ask yourself:

Who are the people who will see your display? Why would they be interested in looking at your

display? What will draw them to it? How can you get and hold their attention? Is your topic relevant to them? Will your display stimulate “mental” participation?

Page 4: Exhibition display

How do you get their attention?

Cater to your audience – put the most important visuals at eye level…

For adults – put them at their level with content relevant to them (facts, graphs, statistics etc.)

Put visuals lower at the eye level for younger students to grab their attention

(comics, interesting photos)

Page 5: Exhibition display

Know your purpose

What message are you trying to convey?

What results do you expect to achieve?

What do you want your audience to go away thinking?

What action are you taking? How can you persuade your audience to take

similar action?

Involve your audience

Arouse interest – get their attention Make your display “hands-on” if appropriate Use visuals, perform demonstrations Hand out brochures, information/fact sheets,

bookmarks, pins etc. Quiz your audience to find out their prior knowledge
