Posters should be attention-grabbing, have brief and clear information, be neat, use relevant visuals, and include important details like date and location.

I am a poster. I am selfless. I devote and dedicate myself
for the welfare of human being, society and
surrounding. I always remind you for do’s & don't. I can
make you think over a burning issue and also alert you
on social issues.
