If you are still becoming familiar with these eight studio habits, I encourage you to read more about the Harvard study. You can find the book, Studio Thinking 3 – The Real Benefits of Visual Arts Education to understand how to apply and encourage these studio practices.

Poster Printing Tips

  • Size: 10-inches x 42.5-inches
  • Laminate (I used 30 lb lamination)
  • Add 6 1-inch grommets to each corner and one above and below the center
  • Hang with 3M hooks – twist hook to get a taught poster on the wall

How can I hang my poster without ruining it?

If you’re investing in printing and laminating your posters, help them last longer by adding grommets. It’s an easy addition to simplify hanging and increase the poster’s longevity.

  • Begin marking the corner of the poster with a small pencil dot.
  • Place the eyelet on the inside of the tool.
  • Place the grommet tool over the dot.
  • Squeeze the tool and release.
  • Repeat for each desired area.
  • Hang with a 3M removable wall hook. (I flipped the hooks in the directions I needed for above and below the poster creating the flat pull against the wall.
