A poster is a printed paper designed to be attached to a wall. There are several types of posters including advertising posters, film posters, event posters, concert posters, research posters, classroom posters, and fan posters. A great poster is readable, legible, and well organized to effectively communicate its message to viewers.

surface.

3. Types of Posters:
Advertising posters
Many posters, particularly early posters, were used for
advertising products. Posters continue to be used for this
purpose, with posters advertising films, music (both
concerts and recorded albums), comic books, and travel
destinations being particularly notable examples.
Film posters
The film industry quickly discovered that vibrantly
coloured posters were an easy way to sell their pictures.
Today, posters are produced for most major films, and the
collecting of movie posters has become a major hobby.
The most valuable poster in the world, of which there is
only 1 known copy, is the 1931 stone litho Frankenstein 6-
sheet.

4. Event posters
Posters advertising events have become common.
Any sort of public event, from a rally to a play, may
be advertised with posters; a few types of events
have become notable for their poster
advertisements.Posters are common because this
can be hung around places where people go.
Concert posters
Many concerts, particularly rock concerts, have
custom-designed posters that are used for
advertisement of the event. These often become
collectors items as well.

5. Research posters and "poster sessions"
Posters are used in academia to promote and explain research
work. They are typically shown during conferences, either as a
complement to a talk or scientific paper, or as a publication. They
are of lesser importance than actual articles, but they can be a
good introduction to a new piece of research before the paper is
published. Poster presentations are often not peer-reviewed, but
can instead be submitted, meaning that as many as can fit will be
accepted.
Classroom posters
Posters are a standard feature of classrooms worldwide. A
typical school in North America will display a variety, including:
advertising tie-ins (eg. an historical movie relevant to a current topic
of study); alphabet and grammar; numeracy and scientific tables;
safety and other instructions; artwork and displays by the students.

6. Fanposter
The goal of creating a Fanposter is to
show all or a large portion of devoted
fans on one poster which will be
presented and can be seen in a place
where many other fans or members have
access (hallway of a club house, fanzine,
fan webpage, public place).

7. A GREAT POSTER IS..
readable,
Readability is a measure of how easily the ideas flow from
one item to the next. Text that has lots of grammatical
problems, complex or passive sentence structure, and
misspellings is "hard to read".
legible,
If a text is legible, it can be deciphered. For example, an old
book may not be legible if the paper has corroded or the
lettering has faded. A common error in poster
presentations is use of fonts that are too small to be read
from 6-10 feet away, a typical distance for reading a poster.

8. well organized
Spatial organization makes the difference between
reaching 95% rather than just 5% of your audience:
time spent hunting for the next idea or piece of data
is time taken away from thinking about the science.

9. Advantage
A poster can add visual interest to the topic and help to keep the
audience focused on the message of the presentation.
