Birthday Poster Design Ideas

Before explaining the design process, we would like to provide you with some birthday poster design ideas. This will make the process of birthday poster design more straightforward for you.

Pick Your Fonts Wisely

The typography in a poster design refers to the type of font and style used. One of the most overlooked yet crucial aspects of your birthday poster design is the selection of fonts. Whether the fonts you choose are strict and rigid or curly and wavy, it can help you convey your message in a way that is not glaringly noticeable. Since the message is the most important thing in a birthday poster, typography comes at the top of our birthday poster design ideas list.

You might get tempted to choose multiple fonts to convey your message, but it is also essential to consider how they can relay your message. Keeping that in mind, we always recommend picking two to three fonts in total in your design.

The title text is something that will grab people’s attention. Hence, they should be bold and stylish. Contrarily, the fonts you pick for the body text should be easily readable. Here is an example of a birthday poster template for you to understand the typography.

Choose the Right Color Combination

Color is also a universally appreciated language and can communicate a wide variety of things, regardless of your target audience. It does not matter whether you want to create a unifying background or demonstrate a specific meaning. Different colors can evoke different emotions. Statistics show that colors alone can influence 90% of an initial impression.

However, here you are designing a birthday poster. So, it would help if you chose a color combination that is perfect for your occasion. Whatever color you choose, we recommend choosing colors that complement each other. Fortunately, all the birthday poster templates in DocHipo come with the perfect color combination. Here is an example.

However, if you want to choose your own color combination, learn about the best color combinations and choose the right one for you.

Use Ample White Space

White space or negative space is one of the most powerful design elements that can make or break your birthday poster design. It might seem funny to you at first, but you will realize that the white space dramatically increases your birthday poster design’s visual impact and readability at distances.

There are many places where you can leave white space in your birthday poster:

• Between individual letters. Tightening the letter spacing can blur the letters at distances.
• Between the lines of texts.
• Around the focus design element in your poster.
• Between different types of design elements.

Accordingly, all the birthday poster templates in DocHipo come with ample white space.
