Poster Design Fundamentals

Description

Poster design rests on a few core ideas, and these fourteen PDF lessons teach them in order. They start with the basics, then cover visual hierarchy and layout, typography for clear communication, color combinations, balance and composition, and grid systems and alignment.

Later lessons look at choosing and using images, creating contrast, and developing a personal style. A poster project pulls the skills together, followed by common mistakes, exporting and preparing a final design, and building a portfolio. Checklists and exercises appear in many lessons. Reading in order takes you from first layout decisions to a poster ready to share, so each lesson adds to what the previous one covered.

Who it is for: beginners who want to design clear, well-organized posters.
