Posters are effective when you want to get a small amount of information across quickly and easily in a visual way. The advantage of posters is that their success is not dependant on materials and resources but on the message. Of course, it helps if you can put some time and effort into design. Effective posters are cheap to make and are fun to do.
DO’s:
- Design and prepare a poster that it is eye catching and colourful.
- Use clear lettering.
- Make sure the message is noticeable at a glance. Too much information means clutter, which is off-putting.
- Put the posters up in places where people will notice them.
- Always have a name and contact details listed so that people know who is campaigning/ advertising and whom to contact for further information.
Consider:
- You may need special permission to hang your posters, although most libraries, schools and youth centres have notice boards.
- Try getting free printing and photocopying done at schools, youth clubs, community centres or at a parent's workplace.
