Poster Printing Step by Step
1. Decide what you want to say
Obviously, you have to know what information your poster will include before you start to design it. You cannot go into the poster printing design process without having an idea of your goals. Decide what aspect of your marketing strategy you are going to incorporate into your poster.
2. Figure out the particulars
Now you have to go into some details. What size will your brochure be? Common sizes are 8 ½ by 11 inches, 11 by 17 inches, and 22 by 34 inches. What shape will your brochure be? You can design it in landscape or portrait styles. You can also determine the proportion of your posters, and other particulars.
3. Find locations
This may be the most important part of the entire process. Your posters will not do any good for you if they are not in the right locations. You have to place your posters in places where your target customers congregate.
4. Make sure it is simply yet effective
As you are adding the content to your design, make sure you are not getting carried away. The one aspect of your campaign that you are focusing on should be the only one displayed on your poster. Be careful not to overwhelm the readers with too much (or too complicated) information.
5. Review and Improvise
Once you have a rough draft done, put it down and don’t look at it again for a day or so. This allows you to refresh your mind and look at your poster with fresh eyes. Try to think of anything you can do improve your design or the content you have included.
6. Select the right fonts
You may think that you should do this before you start writing, but that is not necessarily the case. Once you have a rough draft done, you can look at it and decide if it needs revision. That is the best time to experiment with different fonts and typefaces to see if any new ones have a positive effect on the poster as a whole.
7. Make sure it is clear
Once again, go back and be absolutely sure that your poster is clear and simple. Do not let any overly complicated material sneak into your design. The goal, besides attracting customers, is to be enticing enough to promote attention. Complications will defeat that goal.
8. Make up an alternative
Now that you have a great poster designed, make another one. You can never be satisfied with just one. You never know when one poster will be ineffective and must be replaces. Also, it is a good idea to have different posters that focus on different aspects of your company. The more options you have, the better your results will be.
