HELLO EVERYONE! My post is about posters , the design process, and their use as an educational tool. What Is a Poster? A poster is a  large   printed   picture  or  notice  put up  for advertising or  decoration.    (Cambridge Dictionary, 2020). The Task Our assignment for this week was to design a poster.
