This page contains material and ideas related to outreach towards the public. When traveling, I often photograph plaques at different nature – related venues. Some of these are included here. These posters can be stratified by educational level. Most are suitable for adults, while relatively few are suitable for children of K-6 grades.

Independent of the educational level of the posters, are there some designs or color schemes that are better than others? This may be important for designing such posters.

This link takes you to a Google Photos album of educational plaques in places around the globe. Which ones work best? Why? What styles do you like best? What grade levels would they work best in? Be sure to read the information or rhetorical questions on the right of each slide (the “i” tab should be selected). For those hesitant to clink on links in text the direct link is below:

If you have seen good posters or plaques suitable for K-12 levels don’t hesitate to send photos of them to me.
