Poster Design Tips
Clear headline: Make it bold and easy to read from a distance.
Strong visuals: Use high-quality images or graphics.
Minimal text: Keep it concise — use bullet points or short phrases.
Hierarchy: Guide the viewer’s eye (headline → image → details).
Color contrast: Ensure text stands out against the background.
Call to action: What do you want viewers to do? (e.g., attend, buy, visit)
Printing Poster
Paper type: Glossy or satin finish for vibrant colors; matte for less glare.
Weight: Usually 150–200 gsm for durability and quality.
