How to Make an Engaging Nutrition Poster

Have you seen our newest nutrition poster? We had so much fun creating it for you. Finding the right food for each letter was a blast, and we're thrilled with the result. Let this poster inspire you to make your educational displays. You can use the same basic principle to craft any fun, engaging nutrition poster.

Find great photos or drawings of healthful foods (magazine ads are great for this) and form the food photos into letters that spell out a keyword for your nutrition presentation. Or create a collage that shows people eating healthier foods. This can be done with physical materials or virtually on your iPhone (with a sketch app) or computer.

Of course, if you want to spell out "nutrition," the poster featured above does your work for you, but what if you focus on fruit, a particular nutrient, or an event?

A "cooking" poster can include photos of delicious and healthful dishes and the ingredients in various stages of preparation. For example, a salad could include whole vegetables, sliced vegetables, mixing the dressing, and the finished product.

A "featured nutrient" poster could include images of all the foods that are rich in that nutrient. 

And an event could use the words of the event cut out from magazines or a printer while adding colorful photos from your team.

This approach also works well for displays that promote physical activity. Why not take great sports images and form them into the word "exercise?" Or find photos of sports equipment (hand weights, treadmills, running shoes, etc.) and arrange them to spell the phrase "Be Active!" You can apply this idea to all kinds of great presentations.

So how can you make an excellent nutrition poster? Now you know!
