How to Design a Good Poster?

When it comes to graphic design, perhaps the most exciting type of project to undertake is the poster. The poster is generally a simple attempt to attract attention and communicate basic information.

Get Attention.Your first task is to decide on captivating photograph or an interesting main text element that will make people stop and take notice (a focal point).

Simple is Nice.Your poster should say what it means through pictures and colours rather than through words and written details. Keep text to a minimum

Fantastic Fonts If your fonts are a little unusual or unique, this will add to the depth of your design. Try to avoid common fonts that might be used on a standard document or for an everyday purpose. On the other hand, don’t use fonts that are crazy to the point of being hard to read.

Colour Correctly.  Try to use a colour scheme that is fundamentally correct. Respect the basic rules or colour theory.

Displays good balance. To tell if your layout is balanced, divide your page in half and compare the number of things on either side of the page to each other. Try this diagonally as well.
