What is a Poster?

Posters are placards displayed in a public place announcing or advertising something. Posters are notices, advertisements and invitations—all in one.

Purpose of Posters

The purpose of designing a poster is either to create social awareness about issues related to current problems and needs, or to advertise or even to extend public invitations and display notices.

Drafting Posters

Posters should be colourful, attractive and tempting.

(i) They must be drafted carefully to attract the attention of the readers, excite their imagination and influence their minds.
(ii) Posters are read from a distance. Do not give many details in a poster. Highlight only important issue/issues.
