5. Use Plenty of Space.
                     Use  exaggerated  spacing  between  elements.  The  extra
                     spacing  will  dramatically  increase  visual  impact  and
                     readability at distances.
                     There  are  a  few  places  where  extra  space  can  work
                     wonders in poster design:
                         Between individual letters. Tight kerning can cause
                           letters to blur at distances.
                         Between lines of text.
                         Around interior margins of the canvas.
                         Between  elements  of  different  types,  such  as

                           images and text.
                         Around the most important element in the design.



                                                            6. Include a Call to Action.
                                                              The  goal  of  every  poster  is  to  expose  people  to
                                                              something.  Most  of  these  “touches”  involve
                                                              inviting someone to something, such as a concert
                                                              or movie or other event. For that reason, a call to
                                                              action is vital. The call to action is often the event
                                                              information or a contact point in poster design.



                  7. Create Focus with Typography.
                     Poster design is one of those places where you can really
                     go crazy with beautiful typography.
                     Do experiment with bolder, wider, bigger typefaces that
                     you might feel comfortable with.
