Poster layout

Correct answer: B. Because a balanced layout can make information clear, organised, and attractive

Option B is correct. Layout arranges text, images, and empty space, helping establish visual order and emphasis. A balanced layout can guide the viewer from the main message to supporting details and make the presentation easier to understand.

Correct answer: A. The text can look cramped and become less readable

Poster layout depends on margins and breathing space around important text. When lettering is placed too close to an edge, the margin becomes too narrow, the composition feels cramped, and reading becomes less comfortable; printing or trimming may also risk cutting the text. Option A is correct. B is the opposite, C is unrelated, and D is incorrect because edge space is reduced, not increased.

Correct answer: A. Because it controls reading order and attention

The governing concept is visual hierarchy: spacing separates information groups and shows viewers where to look first, next, and last. In an exam poster, adequate space around the question improves reading, suitable gaps organise the options, and a separated logo preserves identification without competing with the content. Therefore A is correct; B, C, and D ignore readability, grouping, or the design function of space.

Correct answer: A. A balanced layout helps information read clearly

The governing concept is functional visual balance in communication design. A poster must distribute headings, images, text blocks, colour, and empty space so that no element overwhelms the reading path. A balanced layout establishes hierarchy and lets the eye move through the message clearly, making option A correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because readability and visual weight depend strongly on arrangement and text placement.

Correct answer: C. Suitable colour contrast and neat lettering

The governing design concept is visual hierarchy and readability. A title stands out when its lettering contrasts sufficiently with the background in colour or value and is written neatly with clear spacing and suitable size. Thus, option C is correct. Using the same colour and value reduces separation, very small letters are difficult to read, and a wet background can blur or disturb the lettering. The title should attract attention while remaining easy to understand.

Correct answer: A. Reduce background saturation and contrast

The governing concept is visual hierarchy: the intended subject should receive the strongest emphasis, while supporting areas should remain subordinate. Reducing the background’s saturation and contrast makes it quieter and allows the main figure to command attention. Option A is therefore correct. Making the figure duller weakens the subject, equal darkening does not create priority, and removing lettering does not solve the background competition.
