Creating Posters
Part of: Posters and design rules
Posters grow in eight steps: choose cleanliness, safety or hygiene messages; size images; phrase checked sentences; rank most-to-least hierarchy; rough-lay text spaces; verify emphasis and eye order; margin and line an A3 sheet; then draw, detail and colour. Advertisements obey the same rules.
Why it matters. Stepped plans prevent messy posters. Checked layouts earn eyes.
