Design Poster and 300 Word page summary This project is designed to encourage students to focus their research and evaluation skills on the issues of sustainable tourism as a strategy for achieving conservation, and on how best to engage the broader community for its support for sustainable tourism development. Students are required to give a presentation that explains the benefits of a sustainable tourism product in ecological, social, and economic terms to community members, as well as its contribution to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The presentation will be assisted by a digital poster that students have developed. A further 300-word document outlining the main points of the presentation is also expected to be submitted with the poster. Your reference list should be included in the word document and should follow APA 6 or 7 style ( be consistent). The product is a hypothetical product in a community of your choice. The product is not an existing product; it is something your group creates. However, the community should be real. You can choose a community from Australia or abroad. The product can be an operation from one of the following categories: 1. Tour Company providing a tour. This can be a profit or non-profit organisation 2. Accommodation – Lodges, Hotels etc. 3. Education provider with a major tourism component Content of presentation 1. Describe the sustainable product 2. Discuss how this sustainable product would benefit local community positively in ecological, socio-cultural, and economic terms 3. Describe the main SDG(s) your product will contribute and how Tips for Poster Design Poster text • The main idea and title of your poster should be identifiable in a clear and readable manner for the class to clearly read. • Recommended typefaces include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma and Times New Roman. • For emphasis underline, italicise or colour highlight text, but do not CAPITALISE as this is often considered the equivalent of shouting. • Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs and should be left-aligned; avoid centred and right-aligned text. • Use dot points, lists or tables to increase clarity and quantity of information. • Avoid abbreviations, acronyms and jargon, unless it is pertinent detail specific to your poster • Place your poster on your screen – can you read the font / text? Poster colours • When possible, stick to a theme of 2-3 colours that are thematically linked e.g. water = blue. • If you use multiple colours, use them in a consistent pattern, otherwise viewers will spend their time wondering what the pattern is rather than reading the specifics of your poster. • Overly bright colours will attract attention, but may become visually overwhelming or distracting on the eyes. • Consider people who have problems differentiating colours, especially when designing graphics. One of the most common problems is an inability to tell green from red. ? Poster graphics • Use only high quality graphics (i.e. graphs, illustrations and photos) as the centrepiece of your poster, as they need to communicate themes and relationships quickly. • Present numerical data in the form of graphs rather than tables, as graphs make trends in the data much more evident. If data must be presented as a table, keep it simple. • Avoid 3D graphs unless you are displaying 3D data, as 3D images can be difficult to interpret. • Text on graphs must follow the same guidelines as all other text on your poster, in order to be visible. • Use images with copyright permissions (e.g., Google images with usage right) Overall poster presentation • Eye movement should be neutral i.e. vertically-down columns, horizontally-along rows, top to bottom. Use font sizes, arrows, letters or numbers to clarify a sequence. • Colour selection should be simple and pleasing to the eye to help unify the poster. • Intense colours can be used for borders, contrast and emphasis. • Keep the layout basic and the text brief without overloading the poster. More material can mean less communication. Text should be balanced with graphics, about 50:50. • Include blank space to create a visually attractive poster that is not too ‘busy’. Viewers will be able to recognise the most important information if it is not buried in the poster. • Visuals should be uncomplicated and bold. Leave out unnecessary details and ensure that visuals can ‘stand alone’ i.e. that graph axes are properly labelled, that maps have north arrows and distance scales, and that symbols are self-explanatory or explicitly explained. • Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated i.e. figures are numbered and labelled consecutively according to the order in which they are found in the text and are in close proximity to the corresponding text
