Essentials of a Good Poster

Essentials of a Good Poster

In order to create and design and good and effective poster there are a few key things you must do to complete one.

- The size of your image. Often times bigger is not always better, but to make an effective poster it can help. You want your image to stand out from any view or area, so the larger the image is on the size of your poster the more it will be seen from any angle.

- don't get carried away to with to many random little things. Keep your poster design and text simple, getting right to the point you are trying to convey.

- Colours are key. The more contrast in your colour contrast choices the more the poster will stand out. If you keep your colours to close in the same colour scheme it will all blend into one, which can make it easy to miss the statement your poster is sending.

- be original! Big images that may not always go together, images or texts that make people stop and take a second look. The more innovative and different the poster the more people will talk about it.

- make sure your message of your poster is obvious and that is keeps the focus to what you are trying to promote.

- When using typography make sure it works combined with your image. If your poster is all typographic then it needs to be able to work on its own. It is also key to make sure your font is simple enough to read and understand.

- When choosing language make sure if is the style and language of the time and area you are making the poster for.

- when deciding the structure of your poster the way you use space, and the way your elements are positioned help out the look of your poster.
