5 Tips for Modern Poster Design
When designing a modern poster, you need to follow a proper structure to make it look both creative and professional. These tips will help you achieve that goal.
1. Choose a Poster Style That Matches Your Brand
Whether you’re working on a design for a creative agency, a corporate brand, or promoting a movie, posters have their own unique design styles ranging from vintage poster designs to minimalist posters, futuristic poster designs, and much more.
Before you start designing your poster design, look for inspiration to find the right design style that matches your brand, industry, and your target audience.
2. Get Creative With the Poster Content Layout
Unlike most other types of print designs, you don’t have to follow a specific structure when designing a poster. You can get as creative as you like when positioning the poster title, images, and the call to actions in the poster design.
However, depending on the industry and the audience you’re targeting, you should also refrain from being too creative and try to follow a layout that’s consistent with other designs in your niche.
3. Use Professional Poster Fonts
Choosing a great font for the poster titles is one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make. A poster font needs to be big enough to make titles seen from a distance, it needs to match your brand, it should also make your poster stand out from the crowd.
Unless you’re designing a poster for a corporate business or a luxury brand, consider using a creative and attractive sans-serif font for the poster titles. And use an easily readable font for subheadings and paragraphs.
4. Add Large Images and Illustrations
Posters rarely include multiple images. Most posters are designed around a single image or illustrations. Or uses a composition of multiple images, like Marvel movie posters.
You can follow the same strategy when designing your poster. Try to craft your design and content layout around a single large image or an illustration.
5. Consider How and Where Your Poster Will Be Used
Posters are used in various ways. Consider how and where your posters will be used and for what purpose. Are you designing a poster to be displayed in a kindergarten? Is it going to be displayed inside a mall or at a subway station? Plan your font size, the use of color, and the layout accordingly.
Also, think about how your poster will be printed and what type of paper is used to print it as it could affect the colors and the quality of the overall poster design.
