Movie Posters

Film Promotion And Merchandise

The movie poster is one of the most recognized and respected promotional and decorative items in the world. As a modern art and entertainment form, movies have been around for a relatively long time, and high quality films have been in existence since the 1930s.

PrintFirm achieves consistent quality for movie posters at a reasonable cost. The following movie poster design and printing tips should help you achieve your poster campaign goals.

• Professional graphic design is a must for a movie poster. Any amateur mistakes will be magnified. Even a small independent film production should include professional design in the budget. If nobody in your organization has enough graphic design skill, you can click the “custom design” button when you place the order. PrintFirm’s talented team of graphic designers can create a unique design for you.

• Along with expert design, it’s important to get expert photography. If you plan to include original photos, the artistic integrity of those images can make or break a poster campaign.

• Pay attention to contrast. Avoid dark-colored text on a dark background because the text will not be readable enough. Similarly, light-colored text on a light background is not a good idea.

• When printing smaller high quantity posters for merchandising, think about the locations where buyers will place the posters when deciding on a design. A bedroom is a common location for smaller posters. You can take more chances with an outrageous or controversial design when the bedroom is the most common location. Since each bedroom resident who places the poster is presumably a huge fan of the movie, he/she will respect something that relates to the film but that is a more bizarre image than would be seen on a theater film poster.
