CLASS-XI SUBJECT:
ENGLISH CHAPTER – POSTER WRITING
♦ When and where we use posters?
Posters are used for giving information to a large group of people. A poster is not printed in a newspaper,
but, like a notice, is put in a public place where many people can see it. Posters are used for giving
information/publicity to cultural events. They are also used by the government, municipal authorities or
NGOs to educate the common public about important issues.

Main Features of a Poster:
(a) Layout
 visually

Posters recreate the basic moods and styles of three modes of communication, i.e., notices, advertisements,

poster must use bold and capital letters, striking designs. Catchy phrases and slogans are the lifeline of
posters.
Posters can broadly be classified into the following categories:
 cultural show/exhibition/seminar/workshop/fair/fete etc.
 educational and student’s activities
 social theme/problems
