How to make your own posters designs.

A lot of business use Graphic Designers to produce their posters for printing and I would suggest this is the best option instead of designing your own posters if you want a quality design. But sometimes having a poster design may not be cost effective for you. Maybe you are wanting to design a Wanted poster for a Birthday party, or a poster for a charity event or for school.

So what I would suggest that you do is download a programme for free from www.adobe.com and as long as you have not done it before then you can download Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign for free for 30 days. This is a much better option than trying to struggle will Word or PowerPoint.

Once you have downloaded the software you can then start designing your posters.
See the below tips for designing a poster.

Keep your viewer in mind.
Have a short sharp headline.
Simple but stunning image - Try and keep it to one image like a movie poster.
Use clean simple typefaces (That people can read)
Don't have to much info. For example if someone is driving past a poster they need to read the important bits.
Telephone or website in large type.
Use a call to action - Like "Order Today" or "Buy Online"
Find a place where you can get poster prints from like us.

Good luck - And if you get stuck then we can design it for you!
