Guide to
Effective Displays
![Page 2: Exhibition display 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b3432c4a7959dc558b456f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Three basic steps to planning a successful display:
Before you begin, you must..
1. Know your target audience
2. Know the purpose of your display
3. Plan to attract/involve your audience
![Page 3: Exhibition display 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b3432c4a7959dc558b456f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1. Know your audience:
Ask yourself:
Who are the people who will see our display?
How can we attract and hold their attention?
Will our display stimulate “mental” participation?
![Page 4: Exhibition display 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b3432c4a7959dc558b456f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Know your purpose:
You must display your group’s central idea
Everything else is optional…the MAIN central
idea, concepts, lines of inquiry etc.
What is the message you want to share with
your audience?

3. Arouse interest
Make your display “hands-on” if appropriate
Use visuals, perform demonstrations
Quiz your audience to find out their prior
knowledge about your area of focus
![Page 6: Exhibition display 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061306/54b3432c4a7959dc558b456f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do you get their attention?
Cater to your audience
For adults – put content relevant to them at their eye level
(facts, graphs, statistics etc.)
Put visuals lower for younger students to grab their attention(comics, interesting photos)

Encourage all types of participation
“The impact of your display will be strengthened
if your audience feels part of it.”
