Want to know how? Read on to find out how you can create a poster online with Desygner.
1. Get creating with free poster templates
Designing a poster is easy when you have amazing templates ready to edit and adapt to your needs!
Our ever-growing library of templates are created to suit all different trends, industries, and styles. Posters for cafe’s, concerts, product advertisements, sports classes – you name it! All you need to do is find the poster template that suits the message you are trying to convey and then customizing it to your preferred look.
Alternatively, for a little more artistic freedom, start with a blank template. Use our drag and drop images and text to get the look you want.
2. Use text that will entice people to read your poster
Text is always the most important part of any poster. How else will you spread the news of what you’re making the poster for? That’s why it’s important to get the text right in the creation process.
Add and edit text directly onto the canvas
1. If you’re using a template, double-click the text you want to edit
2. If you want to add new text, click ‘Text’ in the left-hand menu.
Different fonts can change the entire look of your poster. It’s important to choose simple, big, bold fonts that can stand out easily.
Here’s a list of some great poster fonts that you could try: Megrim, Nixie One, Nunito, Flamenco or Julius Sans One.
Change the color
The color of the text is just as important – make sure it stands out from the background. Here’s how you can switch text colors:
1. Select the appropriate text
2. In the toolbar that’s displayed above your design, click on “Change Color”
3. Choose the color the complements your design
3. The right images can enhance your poster design
Images can make or break a good poster design. Customizable images can enhance the appeal of your poster and grab all the best attention.
Just remember, your images need to be relevant to whatever is on your poster.

Jazz up your poster with images that add to the purpose of your poster. Desygner’s free image library has all the images you could hope for to create breathtaking poster backgrounds. Here’s how to access these images:
1. Click on “Images” in the left-hand menu.
2. There’s a tab that says “Stock” where you’ll type a keyword for your poster theme.
3. Choose, then click the little symbol in the image box with the 9 little squares for ‘Use as background’, or the symbol with two arrows to ‘replace’ an image.
Upload images from your device for the personal touch
Stock images can be great, but sometimes nothing works more than personalized photos. To upload images from your device:
1. Click on “Images” in the left-hand menu.
2. Under ‘Add’, you will be able to drag/drop or upload images from your device.
3. Select your preferred personal image from your device and get using it!
