How can the main message be highlighted through shape in a poster?

By placing a strong geometric shape behind the main message

In a poster, shape can organize information and make the main message stand out. A strong geometric shape behind words can create a clear visual area, separate the message from the background, and guide the viewer’s eye toward it. Its size, contrast, and placement should support readability rather than compete with the words. Design choices must still suit the poster’s purpose.

Option B is correct because a strong geometric background can frame and emphasize the message. Option A would reduce attention through weakness or blur. Option C creates disorder, making the main point harder to find. Option D removes a useful visual boundary and may weaken clarity. Thus, a deliberately placed strong shape can create emphasis and improve communication in a poster.
