The character and function of a poster
A poster's main function is to spread information, and this was very important before the internet and other means of communication. When you make a poster trying to convey information to people, it needs to be bold enough to be seen from a distance, and interesting enough so that when the viewer comes closer, they stay to find out more. What this means is that your poster needs to be seen.
