Frequently asked questions.

How do you create an appealing advertising poster design?
To create an appealing advertising poster design, think about the message or call to action you want to convey. Be sure to use a large enough font so readers can easily skim for important information. And don’t forget to include your brand colors, logos, and high-quality images to help further reinforce your brand’s visual identity and spread awareness. Use the entire surface of your template to create an eye-catching design.
What is the average size for posters?
The most common printed poster sizes are 11×17, 18×24, 24×36 and 27×40 inches.

Don’t forget, posters can also be shared digitally. Easily resize your poster design in the full Adobe Express editor.
