Marketing Posters: Keeping Them Real
With all the marketing print posters you see everyday, you will notice that most concept designs are getting wilder and wilder. Sometimes, the whole point of the poster printing actually gets lost in the name of creativity and style. In fact, sometimes, those wild color poster designs completely overpower the medium and make it quite useless for its original purpose.
In this guide to poster printing and design, I will teach you how to avoid this. I will teach you how to keep things real with your color posters and make them true to their purpose while still being able to be creative.
Remember the real goals of your posters. The first thing to do is to keep yourself focus and remember the real goals of your color posters. Are they meant for basic advertising? Are they actually needed for a more extensive kind of information dissemination to improve public awareness? Are they for decorative purpose or are they for education? You have to make it clear to yourself what is the real goal of your color posters. In this way, you can avoid leading yourself to design paths that will contradict with your goal. So make sure you define and remember your goals throughout the process of poster printing.
Every design detail must have a purpose. Now, on the design process itself, it is important that every thing and every design detail must have a purpose. You must not put design elements into your poster just for the sake of putting them in. It must contribute effectively to the overall design to make the poster function as it should. So never put any design detail in your draft out of a whim. Consider every color choice, symbol, swirl, image and dot and make sure it contributes well to the purpose of the color poster.
Text should always be easily understood. Another simple way to keep your posters “real” is to always render your text simply and easily understandable. Do not use wild fonts in your design. All posters can be more effective if you just use simple sans serif fonts that people can easily see and understand from afar. This will not only make your posters look cleaner, but it should also attract more people while delivering the whole scope of its message more effectively.
Be practical with your poster printing. Finally, you should be practical with your poster printing. Do not print large and glossy posters if you do not have to. If your goal is to just spread information, then a simple non-glossy standard sized poster printing should be enough. While, true advertising color posters should of course have those expensive materials since it is necessary to be impressive. As long as you are practical with printing, you should really be real and effective with your poster campaign.
I have given you something to think about in keeping your poster printing real and practical. In today’s world, it really pays to keep things real so that you stay true to the objectives of your marketing posters.

Arvo Pärt: Da Pacem $13.93 This stunning new collection of short pieces by Arvo Pärt covers a 30 year period of the composer’s output. The listener will be both comfortable with and surprised by the changes he’s made: his essential style/approach and the beauty of the music remain constant, but Pärt is no whispering new-age poster boy. Sometimes the sound just washes over the listener; more often the small complexities o… |

Hair – The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (1968 Original Broadway Cast) $9.99 “America’s First Tribal Love-Rock Musical,” went the advertising, and nobody could argue with that. Hair opened on Broadway in 1968 and immediately became a smash, although no one could quite discern what it was about. Something like, “War is bad, drugs are good, racism bites the big one, and nudity is nice.” Although all these sentiments are expressed on this album which, like the show, has not d… |

Tex Avery’s Droopy – The Complete Theatrical Collection $12.49 Frederick “Tex” Avery directed some of the funniest cartoons ever made, but he relied primarily on situations and moving graphics, rather than on the personalities of familiar characters. Droopy, the phlegmatic basset hound, was one of the few characters Avery used regularly: His low-key presence was the perfect counter to the extreme takes, fast cuts, frenetic action, and general mayhem going o… |

Metropolis (Restored Authorized Edition) $14.99 Fritz Lang’s Metropolis belongs to legend as much as to cinema. It’s a milestone of sci-fi and German expressionism. Yet the story makes minimal sense, and the “theme” belongs in a fortune cookie; to experience the film’s pagan power, you have to see the movie. But for decades we couldn’t, not really–not with so many versions, all incomplete, often in public-domain prints like smudged photocopies… |
