What can be used?

First - to use a template. Some tips for recreating the poster:

  1. Before you start drawing on wattman, it is better to make a small approximate sketch on an ordinary sheet of paper. This will avoid unnecessary blots, erasures and dirt. You will already know visually where to place the inscription, drawing.
  2. Making a gift is when. When there is a good cheerful occasion. You can safely use bright colors, draw funny faces, write ridiculous, but such funny expressions.

Pranks can be appreciated by friends, family and colleagues (careful with the boss, or he may not understand the humor). As a background, photos from parties, weekends, memorable events, travels or pictures of nature will do. Do you know the person you want to give the gift to well? If so, then you can draw his dream and complement it with accompanying captions. Does it remind you of a wall newspaper?

A photo collage

Photo collage has quickly gained popularity. It can be given to everyone, regardless of age category. And not just for a birthday or New Year's Eve. The main thing is that the photos should be of good quality and quite cheerful. If you are going to give the poster to the older generation, you can combine photos of youth, adolescence, family life and new in one piece of absorbent cotton. Undoubtedly, such a memory will warm the soul for a long time.

Romantic gift

You can add a little romance to the paper. For example, glue paper slotted butterflies. Draw or also glue a bunch of flowers. As an option, the husband / wife can write on beautifully designed paper 100 reasons why you love him / her. Near the poster you can safely hang garland or put candles.

A poster with sweets will be of interest to small children or those with a sweet tooth. For children, you can draw characters from their favorite cartoons. Decorations will be stickers, candy, lollipops, Kinder Surprise.You can mention the favorite phrases of the person to whom you want to give a gift.

You can buy simple paints or gouache, ask the kids to smear paint on their hands and leave a palm print on a piece of cotton paper. Get involved with them! After a while, look at this cool "masterpiece" and the whole family will remember the time they spent together.

How to make your own poster

The most interesting part is making the poster yourself. Here is a list of materials that may be useful:

  • Poster board
  • Gouache
  • Eraser, pencil, felt-tip pens, watercolors, crayons
  • Photos, pictures, candy
  • Beads, rhinestones, varnish, ribbon.

It would be nice to divide a sheet of A3 or A1 into 3 parts. It is desirable to indent a small distance from the edge of the top. From above, draw a barely visible line that serves as a reference point. You can do the same at the bottom. Determine what you will have in the middle, because all the attention will be focused on this place. If you have there will be wishes, inscriptions, drawings, congratulations, then it is necessary to draw a rough thin line. You can write a title on the edge.

You can make a poster with pockets. This is easy. The main thing is to think about what you will put in them. Maybe a tasty treat or an unexpected small, but valuable gift?

Useful tips

But posters come in advertising, but also informational and entertaining. I would like to talk now about another kind of posters, which are used to decorate the house. They resemble posters, but are at home. You may have heard something about the Scandinavian style of decoration?

Here are 4 hallmarks of any good poster:

  1. I-stopler. Simply put, to attract attention. This is done with a bright eye-catching picture, a non-standard image.
  2. Headline. It should contain the essence of the purpose of the poster. But it can also be omitted.
  3. Text. Although essentially, the less text, the better. Ambiguity should be avoided.
  4. Color. There should be brightness and contrast on the sheet.

One should not be afraid to go beyond standard thinking. You can use unusual images, draw unimaginative details. And remember, handwritten text or drawing by hand is highly appreciated!

If you are an active internet user, then you can edit and select a photo for the poster in the app. In Canva, Movie Poster Maker you can make a cool poster, collage and build some pretty good graphics. You are provided with templates that you can safely use. And you can choose images for the posters from online free photostocks.

If you like the sweet idea of making a poster, then when you stick the candy write the appropriate inscriptions. For example:

  • Twix - I want us to be inseparable for life
  • Bounty - I wish you a heavenly and sweet life
  • Mars - with such a sister (friend) it is not scary to fly.

Only you know what a person loves. Try to adjust to his choices. You can use more of his favorite color palette. Perhaps write his favorite poems. You can describe his good qualities in a nice way that makes him feel good. If you do this from your heart and with love, then he will be 100% pleased and pleased. You have already shown attention.
