Graphic Design

We design posters for events, campaigns and announcements. We arrange the message, imagery and information to suit where the poster will be seen.

What must be read first is set largest.

01

What gets read first

On a concert poster, the artist, the date and the venue come first. The title, supporting text and contact details do not carry the same weight.

02

Programmes and event schedules

For posters with several dates, venues or speakers, we organise the information into groups that are easy to scan.

03

Campaign and product posters

We place the product, the campaign terms and the action you want people to take in a clear order.

Preview in context

We show the poster in settings such as bus stops, metro stations and shop windows. We check type size and contrast against the expected viewing distance.

More about this service

We start a poster design by setting its main message and where it will be used. An event date, a product feature or a call to register each needs a different order of information. We place the text and images according to that priority.

Message and legibility

We separate the headline, supporting text and contact details. We choose photography, illustration and typography to suit the subject, and check type size and contrast for the viewing distance.

Print preparation

We confirm the final dimensions and print specifications with the printer. We add bleed for trimming and keep important text and logos inside the safe area. We check image resolution at the actual print size and prepare the colour and PDF settings for production.

Adaptations and delivery

We arrange separate layouts for portrait, landscape and digital uses. We check the date, venue, address and QR code with you. We deliver the print and digital files separately. Printing and distribution are planned as a separate job.

Reviews

We’d like to thank Abdullah for his attentiveness and professional approach. We had our own ideas in mind for our corporate logo. With Abdullah’s creative work, it evolved into something completely different. As a company, we were very pleased. I’ll definitely be calling him for future projects.

Frequently asked questions

What do you need to design a poster?

We can start with the purpose, dimensions, approved copy, logo and available images. For events, we also confirm the date, venue and registration details before design begins.

Can the same poster be used at different sizes?

Yes. We agree on the required sizes at the start. Where proportions change, we rearrange the text and images and check each version for legibility.

Can we use a photo taken on a phone?

We decide based on how sharp the photo is and how much space it will take up in print. All you need to do is send the original, uncompressed file. We check whether it works at the actual print size.

Do we need a separate file for digital use?

Yes. Print files follow the printer's specifications, while digital exports follow screen dimensions and file-size requirements.

Can you add a QR code to the poster?

Yes. We check the link, printed size, contrast and the clear space around the code. We also take into account where the poster will be placed and how close people can get to the code.

What happens if the text changes after approval?

We review the new text within the existing layout. If the change affects other areas, we update the design and any related adaptations. We then send you the final print file to approve again.
