This document discusses using posters to sell products. Posters are meant to catch viewers' attention with eye-catching designs that provide necessary information. Examples are given of product posters made by famous artists like Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha, and Beardsley that demonstrate principles of art like dominance, symmetrical balance, and asymmetrical balance. The goal is to design posters that market products effectively through attention-grabbing visuals and strategic use of space, color, and layout.

Elements and Principles of Art:
Dominance – the emphasis placed on a particular area or characteristic of a work, with
other areas or aspects given subordinate or supporting roles.
Symmetrical Balance– the placing of identical forms to either side of the central axis of
a work to stabilize it visually.
Asymmetrical Balance – placement of non-identical forms to either side of a balancing
point in such a way that the two sides seem to be of the same visual weight.
