It can be a great feeling when you see yourself in a poster. It will be greater if you are on a billboard. Posters are usually used in advertising and campaigns. I'm sure you are familiar with campaign posters during elections or movie flyers in the promotion of films. There are also posters of several celebrities from the world of music, sports, politics, and motion pictures.
Everybody can create their own poster. Before indulging in the process, you must outline your purpose on why you want to create a poster. In other words, select a theme. Are you going to make a poster for yourself, for your favorite artist, for a concert or event, or for a particular product or service? Decide well before doing so. We are more focused on creating a poster by hand here. Yes, computer can be of great assistance but doing it by hand is more challenging and fulfilling. After selecting the theme, secure the needed scrapbooking supply. You can use a pen to make a draft of your poster.
Every masterpiece must need a draft. You need a sketch of the overall appearance of your poster. Check your draft over and over again to address missing details. You can cut out patterned scrapbooking papers with a decorative scissor to create borders. If you don't like it, then try using distress reinkers and colored markers and draw the borders. It is not really required to draw a straight line as a border, use your creativity in making unique edges. Use adhesives such as glitter glue to attach pictures and other clippings.
One of the most important parts of the poster is its message. You need to have a legible writing so that readers will not be confused on what are you trying to convey. If you have a bad penmanship, ask someone who will be able to help you on that. You can also ask the help of a computer and a printer, though. If you are creating a poster which is mainly for advertising, please do not forget your contact information. You must include your address, phone number, and e-mail address at the poster. Finally, select the best spot for your poster. Advertising posters are perfectly suited to be placed in areas with many people.
Poster making is easy if you know the right technique. You creations will look better if you use scrapbook supplies.
