wordswithkyle: A few things to keep in mind when putting together a poster advertising a club. - No awkward pictures- Smiling in pictures is better than no smiling in pictures- Use the original files for taking photos. Copying and pasting off of Facebook is a no-no. You can print photos as BIG as you want.- Use pictures of celebration and events; that’s when people are the most happy.- Any use of depth and relief  is a win.- Using pictures as a background for text eliminates the inevitable negative space created by mounting lettering on a poster using regular printer paper.- Posters meant for viewing are meant to be eye catching. Posters that have itty bitty thumbnails will be passed by because no one wants to wince at a poster for hours. Get to the point; make your pictures huge so people can see them from far away, even if they have no intention of viewing your poster.- Text should draw the viewer in and tease them. Like the pictures, too much text is overwhelming.- Quality over quantity.- Craftsmanship should be superb. The poster you create will reflect your organization. Create a clean looking poster; look better in the public eye. If there are people manning a booth, let them do the talking rather than the poster. They are there to explain. Ultimately, a more personal connection will keep people coming back. The first two points are probably why I’m not in the poster. =P GOOD WORK, KYLE! =D

A few things to keep in mind when putting together a poster advertising a club.

- No awkward pictures
- Smiling in pictures is better than no smiling in pictures
- Use the original files for taking photos. Copying and pasting off of Facebook is a no-no. You can print photos as BIG as you want.
- Use pictures of celebration and events; that’s when people are the most happy.
- Any use of depth and relief  is a win.
- Using pictures as a background for text eliminates the inevitable negative space created by mounting lettering on a poster using regular printer paper.
- Posters meant for viewing are meant to be eye catching. Posters that have itty bitty thumbnails will be passed by because no one wants to wince at a poster for hours.

GOOD WORK, KYLE! =D
