In the poster on the left, there aren’t really any solid focal points other than the car watermark and there isn’t any sort of page division other than center-alignment. The focal points should end up on those intersections or within major areas of the third. The idea is that if you were to divide the poster into thirds both horizontally and vertically, you would end up with 9 sqaures and four intersections. The Rule of Thirds is a design principle that suggests layouts and images are more dynamic and interesting if information is positioned in sections of thirds. Quick Trick #4: Consider the Rule of Thirds In the revised poster, “Car,” “Wash,” and the image of the car all run off the bleeds. “Bleeds” refer to color, text, or images that bleed right off the edge of the page. Notice in the poster on the left how nothing runs off the edge of the page. This varied but cohesive alignment makes the document look interesting but uniform. All of the supplemental information is right-aligned for variety. The top of ‘$5’ is aligned with the top of “Monday, June 8.” The left of the dollar sign is aligned with “Central” above it. In the revised poster, the title (‘Car Wash’) has its own alignment to stand out from the rest, but the information below is tied in with varied, but cohesive alignment. Information is also only separated by a space between lines. In the poster on the left, everything is center-aligned. Quick Trick #2: Don’t Center-align, but Keep Alignment Cohesive Notice that I used two fonts instead of one on the poster (to create contrast between types of information) and that I used really large font sizes (the number ‘5’ is 317 point size, and ‘wash’ is 240!) That clear and obvious contrast makes the poster’s purpose stand out and what it will cost. Keeping the poster simple and cheap, here are five quick tricks that I applied to make the blue poster go from ugly and ineffective to attractive and more successful.Ĭreating contrast means making different items stand out by making them bigger and bolder and by changing font size.

Your goal in a poster like this is to grab attention first, communicate the most important details second (like cost and times), and provide supplemental information (like accepting donations) last.

Because of the way the text is aligned, organized, and sized, it is hard to tell at a glance (you have to assume viewers will be driving by in a car when they see this) what is being advertised and how much it costs. And that attractive design can make all the difference in how successful your campaign is. Even when you don’t have a lot of money to spend, you can make an attractive design for a flier or poster without too much technological or design know-how. However, the poster on the right has been improved dramatically with a few quick changes. The two posters below technically communicate the same thing: promoting a car wash.
