Type and print out the title of your presentation. Cut the title off the white sheet and glue it directly onto the colored paper or directly on the poster board. Or you can use stecils and marker to write the title directly on the poster board sheet.
Type and print each section. Use one page (horizontal or vertical) for each section. Glue each page into the center of a piece of colored paper. - Step 3
Decorate your poster board sheet with assorted poster board borders - Step 4
Glue the colored paper onto the poster board sheet: place two sections on each side and one section in the middle. Place the other two sections below.
