Poster Design for Events, Promotions & Display
Poster design has to work from across a room, so we start with what someone should notice in the first two seconds. Our designers create event, concert, promotion and corporate posters at the full size you plan to print, from small window posters to large wall formats, and deliver vector and high-resolution files that stay sharp when enlarged.
- Laid out at the final print size
- Headline and date readable from a distance
- Vector AI, EPS and print-ready PDF
- 24-hour standard delivery, 6-hour rush option
What Is Poster Design?
It is the layout of a large single sheet meant to be seen on a wall, window or board. Unlike a flyer that someone holds, a poster is read from a distance, so the designer works with fewer words, bigger type and one dominant image, and builds the file at full size so nothing pixelates when it is printed.
- One focal image or illustration
- Type sized for viewing distance
- Resolution checked for large-format output
Poster Types We Design
Tell us where the poster will hang and how far away people will be. That decides the size and the amount of text.
Event & Party Posters
Dates, venue and the main draw in a layout that reads from the street or the hallway.
Corporate & Business Posters
Service, recruitment and announcement posters in your brand colors for offices and lobbies.
Sale & Promotion Posters
Window and in-store posters that put the offer and the dates first.
Concert & Show Posters
Illustrated or photo-based posters for performances, with the lineup and ticket details clearly placed.
Wall & Art Posters
Decorative and typographic posters for walls and merch, drawn as vector art that scales cleanly.
Poster Series
A set of posters in one style for a campaign or season, each with its own message.
Who Orders Posters
Anyone who needs to catch attention in a physical space.
How Poster Design Is Priced
A typographic poster with your text and one photo takes less time than a fully illustrated concert poster, so we read the brief first. The price is confirmed after reviewing it and emailed before any design begins.

Running a Poster Campaign?
Send the list of posters, sizes and messages. We design the first one, get your approval on the style, then create the rest to match and quote the set in one reply.
- Shared style across every poster
- Each size laid out, not just scaled
- Separate files per message and size
- Matching digital versions for social posts
Posters are part of our print design services. For handouts at the same event, see flyer design; for web and stage artwork, banner design; for paid placements, advertisement design.
Why Promoters Trust Us With Posters
Seen from across the room
We test the layout at a reduced size to check that the headline and date still stand out.
Sharp at any size
Artwork is built in vector or at full print resolution, so it stays crisp on a large sheet.

Poster Design FAQ
What is poster design?
Poster design is creating a large single-sheet layout meant to be seen from a distance, on a wall, window or board. It relies on a strong image, a short headline and big, readable details, and the file is built at full size so it prints sharply.
How much does poster design cost?
Poster prices depend on the size, the amount of text and whether the artwork is photo-based or fully illustrated. We review your brief and email an exact price before payment, so you know the cost before design starts and nothing is added later.
What poster sizes can you design?
We design at any size your printer offers, including common sizes such as 11 × 17, 18 × 24 and 24 × 36 inches, as well as A-series sizes. We build the file at the final size, with the bleed your printer asks for.
Can you illustrate the poster artwork?
Yes. Besides photo-based layouts, our designers can draw an illustration or typographic artwork for the poster in vector form. Mention the style you want in the brief, and add any reference images that show the mood you are after.
How fast can I get a poster?
A single poster follows our standard 24-hour delivery. Rush delivery can be as fast as 6 hours when your event is close, and an extra charge may apply. Fully illustrated or multi-poster sets get a date confirmed in the quote.
Who owns the poster artwork?
Full ownership of the finished poster can be yours: ask, and we transfer it once payment is in. From then on you can print more copies, sell art prints, use the image on tickets or social posts, and adapt the poster for the next show or season.
What are the steps to order a poster?
Send your brief, size and images through the form. Our team checks the details and emails an exact quote. Once you pay by PayPal, Visa or Mastercard, design begins. Two free revisions are included, plus a 100% money-back guarantee if the poster misses the brief.
