Promoting your charity event isn’t always the easiest thing to do. It can be hard to spread the word of what your doing and what you’re doing it for. But what better way to promote your charity and event than create an event poster which is unique, alluring, and appealing? Try RightMarket. When you create an event poster correctly, it can be a logical and cost-effective way of communicating your event to the public!
How to create the perfect event poster?
When creating the perfect event poster, there are 5 key steps to follow;
1. Attract Attention
First of all, make your poster stand out from the crowd, by creating something bright, different and eyecatching.
2. Keep it Simple
Keep your words and sentances, simple, short and direct. Avoid complicated jargon that makes sense to you, but not to anybody else.
3. Stick to the Facts
Don’t overwhelm the reader with too much information that isn’t relevant. Keep it to the main important facts.
4. Use of Colours
Colours are a great way to make your poster look visually appealing, but be careful not to use very similar colours that can make your poster hard to read.
5. Bold and Clear Text
Use the correct font to ensure your text is bold and clear. After all, its the text that is carrying your important message!
The Advertising Standards Authority also gives some good and clear directions on what event posters say and where they should be placed.
