What is a Poster?

A poster is a “public” piece of paper conveying information through text (words) and/or graphic images (symbols or pictures). It’s usually designed to be displayed vertically on a wall or window and is large enough to be seen and read from a relatively short distance. Its main target audience is the person walking by.

A poster must convey its message with immediacy and purpose, because people on the street are often in a hurry.

Below are some example poster designs I have created for my customers.
