  2. Poster Designs

  3. Successful poster design hinges on the ability to quickly and personally engage your audience and relay a message in a memorable and impacting way. In other words, poster design should be short and sweet.

  4. Big design grabs big attentionYour graphic elements and poster text should be large in proportion to your poster dimensions, no matter what the size. Your prospects are constantly in motion, passing your poster on their way to do something else, so it’s important that they can easily read your poster text and understand its visual message at a glance and from a distance.

  5. Less is more. - Don’t distract your audience with unnecessary design elements or text. Stay focused on your message and naturally guide the readers toward a desired conclusion. Many of the best poster designs use fewer than 10 words and only one (if any) image. More can be confusing, and simplicity matters; there’s no reason to pack your poster with several images when one or two will do the trick.

  6. Contrast your colors. Your poster design should include contrasting colors that do not blend in with the poster’s surroundings. After all, you want your poster to attract immediate attention.

  7. Drive a response Always be cognizant of the poster’s goal, and use your poster design skills to move readers toward the call to action.
