The brief
Make a how-to book feel like poster day.
Poster Presentation is Ayman Sadiq’s super book for school students. It’s a complete guide to making a poster on any topic and standing up to present it.
So I treated the cover as a poster itself: paper, scissors, glue and a class waiting at the bottom.
How it’s made
Cut, stick, present.
- 1The groundSand paper and four torn sheets.
- 2The roomWalls in a single line, then the students at work.
- 3The little scenesDrawing, writing and rehearsing, in round cut-outs.
- 4AymanThe one real photo, so your eye lands on him first.
- 5The titleA torn blue strip with a yellow label.
- 6The audienceLast, the class that’s about to watch.
Paper and colour
Colours from the art-supply shelf.
Every colour is a sheet of paper with a rough edge. They stay soft, so the photo stays the sharpest thing on the cover, and the one bright yellow label pops.

Mint
Front and back
One Ayman, two worlds.
On the front he’s a real photo among drawn students. On the back he becomes a drawing himself and joins the squad, arms crossed and ready.
The little scenes
The cover tells the process.
- Draw it
- Note it down
- Rehearse it
Present it
The back cover
From the book to the course.
- A letter from Ayman. It speaks to a reader who has just finished the book and now has a poster to present.
- A player bar under the squad. A small nod to the video course the book connects to.
- A white QR code. It sits on its own clean square, so a phone can read it, and leads to the free course.
