Poster Post

Character and Function of a Poster

    Reading about posters you come to realize that posters are used to appeal to peoples minds and their aesthetics, showing people how you express your feelings and thoughts through colors without having to physically touch or talk to them. A poster is designed to be vivid in color and extravagant, but not too busy or drawing away attention. Posters are one of the most important ways of communication between producers and consumers.

 The Laws of Poster Designing

While designing posters you should have a wide range of knowledge in graphic design, the poster should attract a viewer by using techniques that attract colors and feelings from the audience. Lettering in posters are planned so that the poster has room and is left so that the poster still has its aesthetic feel and the lettering is planned accordingly. Colors and shapes are used to express style and creativity. The colors are used to make the views feel a certain way or think certain things, while the shapes are used to show different ways in style.

Three key points I learned while doing this was that colors shapes and lettering need to be used accordingly and used to take advantage of the viewers feelings and thoughts. My favorite thing to read was learning about the customs and the traditions of the poster.
