Poster Printing: When Bigger Is Better

One of the appeals of poster printing is that you can “super size” your advertising medium.  When you need to make a big impression, large poster printing is a great tool.  Larger posters are great when you need people to see your message from a distance.  They are also ideal for conventions, outdoor marketing, and other times where the event is larger than average.

Creating Larger than Life Designs

When commissioning large poster printing, you have to consider the size of your poster while doing the design.  This means finding images that are not only appealing, but will also represent your company or product.  You will want to use images that the public can start to associate with your business, whether that is existing clip art or custom images printed specifically for the project.  If you have a logo, then you might consider using that as well.

Remember, the goal is to establish your identity in the marketplace.  However, you need to make sure that the image you choose is still appealing when blown up to a larger size.  Some images may become distorted when blown up, while others may look scary or menacing and turn customers off from shopping with you.

More Space Does Not Equal More Text

While you may be tempted to add more text to a larger poster, be careful.  Keep in mind that people will still be walking or driving by your poster at the same speed as they would a smaller one, so you don’t want the amount of text to be a turnoff that keeps them reading the poster.

When commissioning larger poster printing, however, you can use bigger fonts.  This larger size will make your headlines and other text easier to read, making it more effective in conveying your message to the reader.  Just like with other publications, you need to make sure that the message on your posters is clear, concise, and easy to remember.

If your poster will be hanging somewhere other than your storefront, be sure to include a way for the customers to contact you if they want more information.

Look for a Printer that can Handle Larger Poster Printing

Just because your printer offers larger poster printing services doesn’t mean that they can provide you with a High Quality product.  It is important to make sure that the printer has the technology and the expertise to print larger posters for you.  Ask to see samples of previous work to make sure that the quality meets your expectations.

Once you have found a printer for your poster printing needs, be sure to follow their submission instructions exactly when submitting your design.  For larger printing services, for example, the company may require a certain resolution for images.  Failure to follow these instructions could cause your images to look blurry or pixilated.  You will also want to make sure that you also follow all sizing templates as well to prevent your design from looking stretched or skewed.

Need advice on gluing magazine clippings to make collage?

I have a bunch of pictures cut out of magazines that I want to put on a poster board or in a picture frame or wherever. I don't want to do decoupage because it produces that glossy, rippled effect. I'd like the result to be bright and sharp (like an original magazine print). Any suggestions are appreciated!

I prefer glue sticks. They're not bad for the environment like an areosol and they're cheap.

Cover the entire back of the clipping and place it down onto the collage. Easy!
