4 Important Parts of Making a Poster

Compiled from six websites:

1. Keep it simple (not too many words)
2. Use good fonts, but don't overdo them
3. Make it readable and understandable from various distances
4. Make it eye-catching (use good colors, fonts, etc.)

This image, for instance, uses readable letters, lots of colors and some eye-catching fonts (but not too many to overwhelm the viewer), and keeps it somewhat simple (there is some complexity to the picture, but the words are brief).
