No matter what type you’re currently working on, here are some tips that would help you create something attractive and impactful!

Event Banners

• • Large, easy to read text. The choice of font types should be taken into consideration. The top easiest fonts to read include Helvetica, Georgia, and PT Sans.
  • Single, focused message. Have one main goal in your message, and speak in your audience’s language. Then, conclude with a simple call to action.
  • No more than five lines of text. Keep your main message short and sweet by limiting it to a single sentence or two, and additional lines to just a handful of words.

Event Flyers

• • The main event details. You want your flyer to be as effective as it is creative, so the key details should never be forgotten. Details like – Date, Time, Location, or Registration information – you know.
  • Consider using a QR code. The goal is to get the message across with as little text as possible. Having a QR code means receivers have instant access to your event site, either for information or registration. Make sure it’s large enough for them to scan.
  • Imagery or illustrations. Think of your event flyer to be a sample size experience of the event. Pick what mood you want viewers to take away from it. Work with your event management company on the colours, images, backgrounds, and graphics used to help emotionally move or persuade viewers into action.

Event Poster

• • Ensure that it’s easy to read from far away. 6 – 8 meter of clear visibility is the rule of thumb.
  • Make visuals bigger, brighter, or more contrasting. Experiment with different shades in the same colour family to see what works. You might not even have to change anything else!
  • Increase white space. You may not know this but the empty parts of your design are just as important as the rest of your poster. Use it to direct the viewer’s attention to key information, make text easier to read, or just break up an otherwise complicated set of images.
