A poster is a large printed paper that is designed to be attached to a wall or other vertical surface. Posters can typically include both graphics and text; however, they can also be completely textual or graphical. They are usually designed to be attractive and informative at the same time. Since posters are printed on paper, they are cost effective, but they also don’t last long outdoors.
Posters are used for many purposes. They are intended to act as notices or advertisements. They can advertise various events, films, musical shows and they are also used by protestors, propagandists and similar groups trying to communicate a message to the public.
