To make a Dmitri Mendeleev timeline poster on the Poster Wizard:

Step 1: Pick Your Poster Size.

Choose a size that will best fit your poster layout. A horizontal poster will work best in this case because it will better fit a timeline. Upload your images of Dmitri Mendeleev.

Step 2: Pick a Background Color.

Choose a dual color, beige and white background.

Step 3:  Add a Title.

Use 2” black vinyl letters to spell out "DMITRY MENDELEEV."  Then, use 1” vinyl letters to identify him as the "FATHER OF THE PERIODIC TABLE."

Step 4:  Add Images.

Now, you can add your images to the upper right of your poster. Give them black borders and make sure they slightly overlap.

Step 5:  Add Text Boxes.

Add your information as a text box with a colored background and a decorative border.

Step 6:  Add Shapes.

Added your timeline using two opposite black arrow shapes enlarged to fit the width of your poster. Next, add "ATOMIC STRUCTURE TIMELINE" as a title using orange quick stick foam letters on top of the black arrow shapes. After that, add the dates and inventors using black vinyl letters. Go back and add small blue star shapes to your timeline. Add a blue burst shape behind "FATHER OF THE PERIODIC TABLE." Make sure it is sent to the back so you can see your wording. Add some random medium-sized blue star shapes to fill empty space on your poster.

Step 7: Now, you are ready to SAVE and FINISH.

When you are finished, your poster will be sent to you by email. Then you can decide how you would like to print it out.
