How to design a poster for opening a shop to be more attractive? In the era of mobile internet, the speed of information dissemination is getting faster and faster, and everyone receives dozens of times as much information every day. Brush Tik Tok, look at pictures, and every APP page is vying for users' attention. In the era of looking at Yan value, can your poster attract customers' attention for one second? Poster design should not only go online, but also attract users. At the same time, you will get your theme content, poster promotion content and direct purchase or inquiry method in the next second. So how to design it? The following seven points need more attention in the design process. 1, the theme highlights many posters, and you don't know what to sell at a glance. Slogans such as "worry, labor and money" are really attractive, but these six words are too popular, so you should show your identity to users before these six words. Are you a supermarket? Design studio? Clothing store? Or a restaurant. Users can only know the value of "worry-free, labor-saving and money-saving" brought by choosing you if they know their identity clearly. Promotional posters should specify the theme of the event, such as "buy one get one free when opening". Although this theme looks ordinary and bad, the more straightforward the expression is and the lower the reading cost is, the more people are willing to read it. What businesses need is accurate traffic, isn't it? Therefore, accurate traffic starts with accurate poster promotion design. 2. The publicity theme of the project service is clear, so is the project service clear enough? Each theme actually has corresponding picture material, such as the poster above; Summer corresponds to refreshing blue, and the poster of real estate is combined with the atmospheric residential building; Financial management funds use gold+gold coins+professionals who symbolize wealth; Taekwondo enrollment poster is based on China ink painting style, with corresponding service process photos on the back, which is more simple and straightforward. The service content of each project is very accurate, so people can think of the corresponding project when they look at the picture, and the text of the explanation makes the poster more vivid. 3. Have a visual project details. Visual project details include not only the flow chart of the one-page taekwondo course, but also the course description, main features, project details, etc. as well as the autumn remedial classes. After determining the theme, put the corresponding pictures, materials and colors to make the style and theme of the whole poster more compatible. 4. Copywriting is more important than design skills. Good copy can make the whole poster come alive. Some copywriting triggers actions, some copywriting tells users how to buy, and some copywriting hurts users, making them want to act when they see it, and they feel cheated if they don't buy it. KEEP's classic short story "Self-discipline gives me freedom", as well as a long copy, grasps the key expression and makes users what you see is what you get. 5. Endorse a good poster with a theme, copy and materials. If there is a corresponding endorsement of trust, you can also wear it. For example, "200 1 start" is a kind of trust endorsement related to the start year; Focus on the field of logo for more than ten years, more than 800 chain stores nationwide, with a sales volume of 6,543.8+0,000 copies a year. These are all good endorsements of trust. Trust endorsement+copywriting expression adds trust to the whole poster. 6. Contact information; Address+Phone+WeChat QR code Many posters are well designed, and the pictures and colors are beautiful, but there is no specific address, contact number and WeChat QR code, which are all elements that must be added in poster design. Some people put the QR code very small for the so-called beauty, which is called beauty. It's not easy to spread. Nowadays, many people distribute posters in the circle of friends, instead of using the traditional single page and sending them to 100 people with one click, which will soon reach thousands of people. But how many people can open the poster? Do you know how many people are interested after opening it? If they are interested and scan the code, but forget to download the original picture, will they give up scanning the code because of this action? This is worth pondering. Therefore, the QR code should not pursue the so-called beauty, but should be extremely small. Whether it is the receiving code or the WeChat QR code, it should be enlarged, so that users can scan the code for details without downloading. 7. With the development of science and technology, the threshold of poster design is getting lower and lower. Many of them are not professional poster designers, but they can also be made successfully through some apps, such as Maker Sticker, MAKA, WeChat commercial watermark camera, picture itch, picture monster, etc. But some apps don't buy members, and there will be watermarks. We should pay attention to this point, because spread on the Internet, the picture is the signboard of a shop, and a poster with watermark or unclear picture also lowers the grade of the shop. If there are many posters to be made every month, it is suggested that you can choose an APP to buy annual membership and directly make high-definition seamless posters. Similarly, the design styles in these apps are also worthy of reference for beginners in poster design. Similarly, petal net, parcel net and remittance net can also be used as design reference.
