is it absolutely necessary to have that much information?/genq , because cutting down would helo have more space for the images. also a general rule, its very important to have blank space in a poster so that the eyes can rest

its supposed to be for a contest for a college
and if anything i think i have like alot less information than many other people and im planning to add a bit on my background

sizing also plays a big role, how big are you planning to print it?
im pretty sure the poster is supposed to be printed around 30x40 inches
but do you have any recommendations to make it stand out more

one of the easiest ways to make it stand out is to have a dark background
you'll have to make sure the text is readable, light colour and bold enough tho
also the layout is good enough but if you think you could experiment with a bit of a different grid layout so that the pictures kinda overlap or arent exactly in the same line, it would make it more fun

uhh
my teacher said having a darker background is bad because money plays a part in printing it too

fair enough

this was mine originally
but he said i should change the dark background because the darker ones typically dont win because of the cost
which do you think it better

the teacher nerfed you fr

wait wdym for the grid layout
fallow vortex
i mean i think sir has a point, if its an actual factor thats going to be considered then i think you should make it lighter
also, any restrictions on 2d/single print sheet?

so there are swiss, japanese, german grid systems, you take the general grid and try to keep all the information in just the boxes, but you move them around a bit like in the second image yk?
the way i learnt it, humans are still predatory animals first, we love having our eyes move because it feels like chasing prey, it makes us feel good
