    Print is an incredible word. It has made its mark on all aspects of our lives. It is the end of one process and the start of another, replicating finished articles and etching them into the pages of history. Its fascinating origins and immense power have given humanity the chance to communicate thoughts and ideas right across the globe, effectively clearing the path for what is now a global civilization.

    Frequently asked questions

To use a poster effectively, choose clear, concise content and visually appealing design elements to convey your message, then display it in a location where your target audience can easily see it.

    • To print a poster correctly, think about its size and readability from a distance to ensure it grabs attention. Choose high-quality paper to enhance durability and presentation, and consider the design elements like colors and fonts to make sure they’re clear and eye-catching. Lastly, double-check for any errors or typos before printing to avoid mistakes.

    • Bright colors like red, yellow, and blue will help you catch attention easily, and ensure readability by using contrasting colors for text and background, such as dark text on a light background or vice versa. Additionally, add complementary colors to maintain a visual harmony.

    • The most common poster sizes include 18×24 inches (ca. 61 cm), 24×36 inches (ca. 91 cm), and 27×40 inches (ca. 1 m).
