Who is the Delivery poster for?

Delivery belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning rhetoric & argument can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Delivery poster?

In the last hour before speaking, when the text can no longer be improved. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Delivery belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Delivery?

The Five Canons, Kinds of Claim and Deduction & Induction sit alongside Delivery in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The Five CanonsKinds of ClaimDeduction & Induction

What size does the Delivery poster print at?

Delivery is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Delivery loses nothing.Printing guide
