If you are looking for a graphic designer to do hours of design labour for you, worry no more. You can be your own designer as one does not need advanced designing skills to be able to design creative posters anymore. With AI powered tools, beginners can make promotional content in just a few minutes.
What is the secret? Using smart features that automate your design choices for you. With the heavy work out of the way, all you would have to do is make quick refinements and you will instantly elevate the final product. In this guide, we will unpack the step-by-step process that helps you design faster but not compromise on the end result.
- Choose a ready-made template
When you start from scratch, you are bound to spend hours upon hours on a single project and increase your decision fatigue over time. By using a ready-made template, you cut down your design time drastically – You will have a professionally structured layout and you can pick a style that matches your theme and colour palette without having to build from zero.
- Use AI to generate written material
Compelling writing is what usually sells your brand’s products. Unfortunately, writing strong headlines can be too time-consuming. If you are running low on creative writing juice, you can use an AI writer to do the job for you. Generating punchy taglines, event details, or promotional materials has never been easier.
If you want optimised results, include information such as tone, target audience, and the purpose of your poster. Once you are done with the initial generation, you can always tweak the wording for better clarity and smoother alignment with your brand’s unique voice.
- Pick a colour scheme
Colour psychology plays a major role in the way individuals perceive your brand. If you have made them stop and look at your poster, you have already completed your marketing goal. For example, tones like red and orange can create urgency (for sales) and colours such as blues and greens can instill a sense of calm (for wellness campaigns).
You can use AI-assisted colour palettes that convey the essence of your brand. In addition, you can upload photos and extract specific colours to maintain brand harmony.
- Add images and graphics
Visuals are your first impression. By adding interesting graphics and images, you can dramatically increase viewer attention and engagement. However, designing a poster with multiple elements can get overwhelming and hectic. This is where PosterMyWall’s AI Background Remover steps in to help you isolate subjects in a few minutes with just a single click.
Background removal is especially essential for product posters, where one needs to create a clean and distraction-free promotional graphic. You can even use this opportunity to integrate AI generated elements or stock images to maintain a polished look.
- Use AI to resize and adapt the poster for different platforms
Once you are done with poster generation, you can move on to the next step: repurposing it for social media and differing digital screens. By using the AI Resize tool, you can convert a single design into different frames (Instagram stories, Facebook posters, physical posters, and digital posters.
AI ensures that your design does not lose its alignment or quality, producing consistent results for your branding. However, make sure that you preview resized versions to confirm that text is visibly bold and there are safe margins within the designs.
- Preview and edit
Despite the advancements in AI, the human eye still remains very important. Always make sure that you use preview mode to check readability, spacing, and fonts from a distance. This applies especially to physical print posters. Common issues to notice are overcrowded elements (placed too close together), low contrast (colours blending together), and small text.
You can make last-minute minor adjustments such as tightening line spacing, increasing font weight, and balancing white space between elements. These tweaks can make a drastic improvement for the way the poster looks to a first-time viewer.
