ASPECTS TO CONSIDER TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS a) Sensory appeal. • This is a psycho-physical function that is spontaneous and unconscious and obliges us to turn around and look, but it’s not long-lasting. This kind of appeal is achieved through a combination of effective image, color, size and shape.
b) emotional appeal is stable and long-lasting. To achieve this appeal we must take into account two factors: curiosity and basic human desires.
Basic human motivating desires: 1) Thirst and hunger 2) Love of one’s children 3) Health 4) Sex appeal 5) Affection for one’s parents 6) Ambition 7) Pleasure 8) Bodily comfort 9) Possession 10) The approval of others
BASIC COMPONENTS OF A POSTER: TEXT AND IMAGE TEXT Headline(Slogan) The most important part of the text that summarizes the message. It must be as brief and ingenious as possible. This is the largest lettering that appears on the poster.
Subtitlestext that supplements the essential message. The lettering appears smaller than the headline.

CreditThe name of the artist that designs the poster and/or the name of the photographer who took the photos. This usually appears in the margin in very small lettering.
B) IMAGE “Worth more than a thousand words.” The following should be considered: Colors should be clear, bright, and not pale or “watered-down.” When selecting colors, one must consider what the color is typically associated with.
