Who is the Designing Public Services poster for?
Designing Public Services belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning public policy can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Designing Public Services poster?
Services designed around organisational structure fail at the seams between departments. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Designing Public Services belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Designing Public Services?
How Problems Reach the Agenda, The Cost of Inaction and Why Policies Fail sit alongside Designing Public Services in the Political Science section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.How Problems Reach the AgendaThe Cost of InactionWhy Policies Fail
Is the Designing Public Services poster free to download and print?
Yes. Designing Public Services downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Political Science section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Designing Public Services poster print at?
Designing Public Services 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 Designing Public Services loses nothing.Printing guide
