On a large serving board or cutting board, lay out the cheeses first. Spread them out evenly, this way they can be used as pillars to arrange the rest of the ingredients.
Next, add dips, spreads or canapé to fill up the board. Anything, that can easily stay in place on their own.
Roll or fold the meats into roses, and keep filling up the board. Use the cheese as pillars, so the meats don’t lie flat.
Use the fruits, veggies, mixed olives as fillers to completely fill up the board.
