In which situation will poster design be considered communication art and not only decoration?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it makes a message visually clear and effective
The governing concept is visual communication: an image, arrangement, colour scheme, or lettering should help deliver a message to a viewer. A communication poster may announce an event, spread awareness, give an instruction, encourage public action, or present information. Its design choices are useful because they make the intended meaning noticeable, readable, and memorable. Option A is correct because it connects visual clarity and effectiveness with the communication purpose of a poster. Option B removes the essential message, C focuses only on a material rather than purpose, and D prevents communication altogether. Decoration can support a poster, but decoration alone does not make it communication art.
