Everyone wants to look their best. And to keep up with the latest trends and styles, fashion shows are the only way to monitor the cutting-edge of style. But how do you get people to go to your fashion show? With some marketing materials! Here are five tips to design an eye-catching fashion poster for your local fashion event.
Find the perfect template
Organizing a fashion event isn’t easy. It takes lots of time and energy to get every fabulous detail just right! And because you’re busy planning, you probably don’t have time to design incredible posters from scratch. That’s where templates come in.
There are thousands of free fashion poster templates available from websites like PosterMyWall. Simply browse through the designs and choose the one that best fits your fashion show. All templates are designed by professionals, so you know they’ll be good enough to stand out.
Once you find a template you like, open it in the easy drag-and-drop editor to customize the information to perfection. Templates are by far the fastest and easiest way to design amazing fashion posters without taking time from your busy schedule.
Include bold, stylish visuals
The primary goal of any type of marketing collateral is to capture attention and get people interested in whatever it is you want to promote. What’s the most attention-grabbing part of any poster? The visuals!
With your template ready for editing, upload some of the visuals you plan to include. For example, you might want to add some photos of the styles or designers that will be showcased during your event.
As you’re choosing the visuals to include in your fashion poster, think about what might capture more attention. Bright, exciting photos will get more eyes than poorly framed, blurry, and dark photos. Your visuals are a representation of your show, so make sure they’re good!
If your visuals can capture the attention of anyone walking or scrolling past, there’s a good chance they’ll read the text to learn more. And if they read the text to learn more, there’s a good chance they’ll want to attend your event! But you have to catch their attention first… So high-quality, stylish graphics are essential to any great fashion poster.
Provide all the essential details
People want all the details before they commit to attending anything these days. If you leave something out, you might drive people away. Make sure your poster includes all the essential details that someone might need to attend your fashion event.
Here are a few of the main details you should always have in your fashion posters:
- Location of the event
- Date and time
- Admission fee
- Activities
- Designers featured
- Organizer contact information
Posters can only hold so much information, so it’s also a good idea to include a link to your event’s website. That way interested parties can just go to your website if they want to learn more.
For digital posters, obviously you can simply add a clickable link to your website. Physical posters you plan to print out will need a QR code.
Create a visual hierarchy
Now that all your graphics and information are in the poster, it’s time to arrange all the elements. You can tell readers how you want them to experience your poster by creating a visual hierarchy.
A visual hierarchy is a way to arrange elements to showcase their importance. For example, the most important part of your poster (like the title) should be the biggest and boldest thing on the page. It should draw attention so it’s always the first thing seen. The second most important piece of information (like an image) should be slightly smaller and less bold. The third (maybe a subtitle) even less. And so on down the line.
Think of a visual hierarchy like a roadmap for the eyes. You can guide readers through the information on the poster to give them the best experience and make sure they understand everything in a logical order.
Export in the right format
Finally, with all your elements set, it’s time to export your design. It’s not as simple as clicking a button; you need to make sure your export settings match the intended goal of your poster.
For example, if you plan to upload your poster to your fashion event’s website, you might not want to export it at the highest resolution possible. High-resolution posters have massive file sizes, which will hurt your website’s load speed.
On the other hand, if you plan to print your poster to hang around town, you don’t have to worry about load times. So in that case it’s best to export using the highest resolution possible to make sure your posters look good coming off the printer.
Think about what you want to use your poster for and export it using the proper settings. It could make the difference between a blurry poster that turns people away and a fantastic user experience that will make everyone want to attend your fashion event.
Stylish posters make for well-attended fashion events
Your fashion posters are a representation of your fashion event. They need to look stylish if they’re going to capture attention. Use templates to create a professional look, upload high-quality graphics, include the right information, create a visual hierarchy, and export using the right settings. With a great poster design on your side, there won’t be an empty seat at your next fashion event!
