Posters aren't just about looking good — they’re about getting people to take action.
Whether you're promoting a festival, a political event, or a local service, your poster should do one thing: convert attention into engagement.
This blog reveals 10 tried-and-tested poster design principles that actually work — and how you can apply them easily using Publicity Poster.
Your viewer should know what it’s about in under 3 seconds.
🪧 Use fewer than 7 words
💡 Use bold fonts
✅ Example: “Ganesh Chaturthi Poster Ready”
Poor contrast = lost attention.
Use bold text on light backgrounds, or vice versa.
Publicity Poster templates are pre-optimized for color psychology that converts.
People process visuals 60,000x faster than text.
📸 Use:
Festival photos
Candidate portraits
Product shots
Avoid blurred or overly filtered images.
All posters must follow a logical flow:
Headline → Key Info → Call to Action
Size and placement matter. Publicity Poster uses auto-alignment for best balance.
Every poster should end with something like:
🟢 “Vote Now”
🟠 “Visit Today”
🔵 “Order via WhatsApp”
This guides the viewer to their next step.
Posters should work even on a passing scooter 🛵

Large text
Short lines
Simple fonts (like Montserrat, Poppins, Open Sans)
