Successful poster designs communicate a clear message, makes you halt and look, then draw you into the finer details. As poster design connoisseurs we appreciate an illustrative style that is designed so well it perfectly matches a message. Posters are large canvases that give designers plenty of space to make masterpieces.

In this poster design session, you’ll learn how to incorporate the right font for the needed text, compose an effective layout, mix your illustration and design skills, grab... attention, and more. We’ll be bringing you loads of articles, tutorials, and resources on poster design in this creative session – so get ready to design some super creative posters.

Jump into this Session on Poster Design

Our first article kicks things off with a heavy dose of Vector Poster Design Inspiration by Sharon Milne. She shows five artists which use vector in their poster designs to not only inspire you, but give you some things to consider when creating an effective poster.

About This Session’s Cover

This session’s cover encourages you to “Rocket” your poster design skills. And we have a truckload of material coming that will allow you to do just that. I used some awesome poster mockup templates from the GoMedia Arsenal, as well as textures from Bittbox. Aside from that, I created a few vector elements in Illustrator and then ported them to Photoshop for texture and brush treatment.

Coming Community Project

Get ready to Rock-n-Roll, with our next community project that Loungekat will be releasing tomorrow, which of course will be poster design themed. More information to come soon.

Let Us Know How We Do

We’ve changed our format, as you can see sessions are now being released right here on Vectortuts+. This is how we’ll be releasing all of our sessions, across our Tuts+ sites. This is a step our dev team worked hard on to make – round of applause. Enjoy this session on Poster Design and many more topics to come in the future. We’ll be working out a few kinks as we launch this first session with the new design. We’d love to hear your feedback.
