Types of Posters
Many posters, particularly early posters, were used for advertising products. Posters continue to be used for this purpose, with posters advertising films, music (both concerts and recorded albums), comic books, and travel destinations being particularly notable examples.
Design Considerations.
- SIZE How big is the poster going to be?
- PLACEMENT Where will the poster be hung?
- MESSAGE What are you saying?
- AUDIENCE Who are you saying it to?
A poster will not be effective if there is too much information to take in, if for example it is posted on the main street. the graphic should be understood in seconds are people walk/drive past. Small type will not be read.
Poster Printing
Many printing techniques are used to produce posters. While most posters are mass-produced, posters may also be printed by hand or in limited editions. Most posters are printed on one side and left blank on the back, the better for affixing to a wall or other surface. Pin-up sized posters are usually printed on A3 Standard Silk paper in full colour.
It is possible to print large posters on standard home or office printers, by priting the poster in tiles.
