What should be included on a Movie Poster?

Movie Title

The title of a movie attracts audience attention towards its screening. It is essential to include the title at the top of your movie poster design.

Rating

If your movie has been a hit and you’re working on its promotion, make sure to mention its rating on the poster in a contrasting color to catch the audience's attention.

Release Date

The audience always looks into the release date of a movie to know when it is hitting the big screens. Therefore, you should prominently add a release date to the poster.

Names of the Directors & Actors

It’s essential to give courtesy to the faces working behind and on the screen in the movie. Make sure to mention the names of the movie's actors and directors in the poster.

Mistakes to Avoid in a Movie Poster

Missing Information

The text carries great weight in a poster design, and missing essential details is a major mistake to avoid. The spelling errors could also add insult to the injury; hence, it’s essential to proofread all the information contained in the movie poster template before taking its prints.

Bad Design

How have you managed the design elements in the poster design? Using flashy graphics makes the poster design unpleasant for the audience and you will not get the desired results.

Inconsistency

Marketing through posters means engaging the audience by grabbing their interest and attention. If your poster text isn’t properly formatted, then the audience won’t be able to easily skim through the content displayed on it.

Use of Wrong Colors

Wrong color combinations can scatter confusion and disturb the poster’s overall look. If you use irrelevant colors, the information presented on the poster might stay invisible. So, you should use the right colors in accordance with the other elements in a poster design.

Contradiction Between Image and Text

The image and text being used in a poster should interlink with each other. However, the error made by most people while designing posters is of using an attractive image and text content without creating any linkage between them. It affects the poster appearance and viewers won’t be able to interpret the idea in your poster.

Components use in a Movie Poster

Unique Style

A unique style makes your movie poster design stand out from the crowd and put you in a winning position. But while staying unique in style, make sure the poster design is consistent with the movie itself in the first place.

Colors & Fonts

A poster is incomplete without text & fonts. The selection of fonts & colors is mainly dependent upon the theme of the movie. You should choose fonts and colors for the poster that resonate with your movie or film festival and make your poster look more appealing.

Size & Dimensions

What font size are you using for the title, tagline, and other details in the movie poster design? What are the dimensions of a poster? Getting all these things in an adequate form is crucial to keep up the spark of what you are portraying.
