Do

Focus on clarity and readability.
Decide if a part is to be read close up. If so, how will this happen?
Let pupils’ art work stand alone (large) for EY especially.

Don't

Work from assumptions of school aesthetics.
Use wavy corrugated cardboard borders unless relevant.
Assume you need borders at all.
Use too many colours. Keep it simple.

Try

Visit IKEA and museums to study their displays.
Add some 3D effects.
Build some interaction into your display.
Explore how to update the display with minimal effort.

Well done!
