Custom Poster Design

All poster designs serve two key purposes:

1. Inform
2. Persuade

Whether you are creating a corporate poster or an entertainment one, the idea always is to advertise or promote a specific message and then have audiences take the action you want: sign up for a class, join a group, buy a product, attend an event, and so on.

Since a standard poster size doesn’t have much design real estate, designers must make the most of every inch of space they get. From headline to footer and even the strategic use of white space, every element must serve the core purpose of the design.

That’s why most poster design concepts have less copy and more visuals, because visuals are the key to grabbing users’ attention long enough for them to look at the copy too.

The right balance of good use of design fundamentals and a strong strategy results in poster designs that become hard to ignore. Some key elements to pay close attention to include:

• Visual hierarchy rooted in purpose.
• Readability so your copy can convince
• Balanced design to retain the clarity of the message
• Intentional use of blank space to keep the design clean and clear

Remember that a ‘good poster design’ varies from one type of target audience or brand messaging to the next. If your brand is bold, snarky, and likes to shake things up, you can use asymmetrical visual balance, lopsided hierarchy, and garish visuals and still be a hit with your audience. But try that with a funeral parlor poster, and the result may fall on deaf ears.

So, choose your poster design strategy wisely, and keep your design brief, clear and detailed, whether starting a contest or hiring a designer to work one-on-one.

Talk to our designers for your specific needs or start a contest already, if you know the type of poster design you want.

That’s an excellent question. The two things aren’t synonymous and may deliver completely different results. They are also more suited to one kind of client than the others, and that’s why you should carefully consider whether you should get multiple poster options from multiple designers or only a few options from a dedicated designer.

Here’s how to choose:

• Start a Contest:If you are in the exploration stage of the design, a contest is the best value for money. You get tens of unique designs and a somewhat clearer design direction for the final stages. Contest is also a budget-friendly option that allows you access to thousands of global design experts without the atrocious fees.
• Pick a Designer: If you already know the kind of design you want, have gone far enough into the design stage that your direction is clear, and can spend more money on the project, then a dedicated designer to collaborate on the project is the best bet. You get focused work, a more aligned process, and better control over the outcome.
