Posters….
Posters are often used for advertising and
promotional purposes. However, to prepare a
really effective poster, there are a number of
points worth considering. You want people to
take a good look at your poster because they
are attracted by its wording, the colors used
and the design. In order to achieve this it is best
to take the time to plan the poster’s layout
properly. This calls for a lot of dedication and
plenty of creativity.
Posters….
Poster design also involves choosing suitable
words, phrases or slogans that will leave an
imprint on one’s mind. Thus the message
printed on the poster needs to be simple yet
memorable. The fonts chosen need to be of a
suitable style and size

Inevitably the colors also play a crucial part in
the effectiveness of the poster. There needs to
be a contrasting effect, such as a dark
background, but brightly colored words. If any
pictures are going to be included it is
imperative that they make an impact at first
glance.
