When it comes to advertising or promoting events, movies, concerts, or even social movements, posters work wonders. Displayed mostly in public places, they’re a good way of reaching lots of people. On the other hand, many posters are also used for mere decoration: pin them to the wall and give your room more character!

Announce special events to the public

Posters were born to be the perfect means of promotion and advertising. Whether it’s a concert, a football match, or the circus, you can use a poster to tell everyone about upcoming events and why they shouldn’t miss out on them. With a touch of creativity, you’ll be as compelling as the best marketing professionals.

Promote movies, TV series, or streaming media

The next blockbuster is just around the corner, but do you know if people are aware of it? Posters have been used to promote films for ages: it’s part of their nature. Now, you can do the same with your own movies or those of your friends. Go grab some popcorn because your design will be the next superstar of the graphic design world.

Turn them sideways and make diplomas and certificates
