How to Draw a Poster
Instructions:
- Acquire the necessary materials: paper, pencils and coloring paint/ crayon
- Decide what purpose your poster will have. Think about what theme will best suite your poster. You may want to put together some designs as rough sketches/ draft (make 3 drafts/sketches)
- Look through your sketches and pick one design you find particularly powerful. Remember, the simpler the design, the more visually impacting it will be. You want to pick a design that can be viewed at a distance.
- If you are going to add text to your design, you may want the image to be small. However, if the poster is intended solely for the artistic element, you will likely want the image to take up nearly the entire poster's space.
- Now you are ready to add text to the design. Keep in mind FOCUS, GRAPHICS and ORDER. You want your text to work well with the graphics you added. Particularly for professional/educational presentations,your poster's text must be logically ordered.
- If your poster is intended to be seen from afar, make the text large and legible (letters of about 3 inches high). However, posters intended for close-up presentations can have smaller, but still legible font sizes.
- Depending on the poster's purpose, you may want to add a title and/or charts. These additions should remain organized with the content and be clearly seen from a distance.
