| Poster
— noun a large printed picture, notice, or advertisement displayed in a public place. |
Over the past century, posters have been used as an effective tool for raising awareness about causes, changing public perceptions, persuading people to form an opinion and take a stand on varying subject, and motivating people to take action or join campaigns. French historian Max Gallo states that “for over two hundred years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world. Visually striking, they have been designed to attract the attention of passers-by, making us aware of a political viewpoint, enticing us to attend specific events, or encouraging us to purchase a particular product or service.” Having long been central to political discourse and exchange, utilized correctly, posters can be a poignant and central part of raising awareness and engaging the public in your campaign.
