I went with a comic-style layout for my poster because comics are a fun and easy way to tell a story. Since my poster breaks down different steps, I thought this style would be perfect to guide the viewer through each part in a clear, engaging way. Plus, the comic vibe adds some excitement, making the message more memorable and enjoyable!
I chose a soft pastel gradient background instead of the usual white seen in comic books to add more visual appeal. Pastel colors are known for their calm and soothing vibe, making them perfect for creating a relaxed and comfortable look. The soft gradient not only looks great but also helps reduce eye strain, making the text easier to read while still keeping the overall design light and inviting.
Consistency is Key: Keep design elements like color palette, typography, and layout consistent across the series to create a cohesive look.
Tell a Story: Each poster should contribute to the overall narrative, whether it's through visuals, steps, or a theme. Make sure they work together to communicate the message clearly.
Hierarchy Matters: Ensure the most important information stands out. Use size, color, and positioning to guide the viewer's eye through the poster.
Keep It Simple: Don’t overcrowd the design. Focus on clarity and simplicity, ensuring the message is easy to grasp at a glance.
Visual Appeal: Use color, imagery, and typography to capture attention and make the posters visually interesting.
Target Audience: Consider who will be viewing the posters. Make design choices that resonate with them and keep the tone appropriate for the audience.
