 What is a Poster?
• Posters recreate the basic
moods and styles of three
modes of communication,
i.e., notices,
advertisements, and
invitations.
• Essentially a very brief
communication with a
powerful visual and a
powerful message, a poster
is always prepared with a
particular target audience in
mind.

• A poster is a very useful
means to create awareness
about current social
problems or needs and
issues or to even extend
public invitations and write
notices. .
• The poster should be clear in
communicating the intended
message in an easily
readable manner. You can put
text in one box and an image
in the other.
 Format of a Poster Writing
▪ Title: This is the point where you can make the deal. Make a catchy title which is basically the
gist of your announcement or issue. The first line should introduce the purpose of the poster.
▪ A sketch: After the title, you can draw a picture depicting your issue.
▪ Content: It should be pleasing, readable way – the poster’s wordings should be centred in an
appealing manner. The message must be clearly passed to the readers.

place. Do not forget to mention the venue of the event.
