Design a poster for its actual viewing position. Someone approaching a wall display needs the main message before the details, while a person standing beside an information board can read more. Choose the hierarchy and image source with that situation in mind rather than treating a larger print as a stretched flyer.
Start an EZ Print brief with finished dimensions, a photograph or description of the placement, and the main thing the reader should understand.
Set the order of information
Separate the headline, supporting explanation and next action. Ask a colleague unfamiliar with the project to look at a checking view briefly and say what they noticed first. If their answer is a secondary logo or decorative texture, adjust the hierarchy.
An event poster may need the occasion and essential attendance details. A retail poster may need one clear product message and an action. The supporting content should help the primary purpose instead of creating several equally loud focal points.
Check the planned position
Describe whether the poster sits at eye level, above a counter, behind glass or near another display. Identify likely obstructions such as a brochure holder, display frame edge or furniture. Measure the usable visible area separately from the overall space.
Consider glare and lighting when assessing the design. A dark text block placed on a detailed photograph can become harder to read in a reflective setting. These are reasons to discuss the intended surface and placement; they do not establish a particular material’s performance.
Supply the original image where possible
Find the highest-quality source file available for the actual photograph or illustration. Do not enlarge a website thumbnail and assume that changing its resolution label creates more detail. Identify the planned crop and the finished size at which the image will appear.
Ask for an assessment of the source in the proposed layout. There is no useful single requirement detached from print size, image content and viewing conditions. Keep small logos and text in an appropriate artwork form rather than embedding the whole poster as a screenshot if the original layout is available.
Separate the print from its holder
A poster-only enquiry differs from a board-mounted print or a framed display. State which parts are required. If you already own the frame, provide the actual insert and visible-window measurements rather than only its advertised overall size.
Show whether the artwork must reach the edge and ask for the confirmed trim and bleed instructions. A frame may conceal a portion of the print, so keep essential information away from both the trim and the visible opening until those details are agreed.
Review the final export in context
Adobe’s Preflight guidance identifies image-resolution and font checks. Those checks support file preparation; they do not decide whether the message can be read from the corridor. Inspect the exported poster at a sensible scale and review a representative detail at final size.
Use poster printing and request a quote with the placement, dimensions, quantity and intended mounting arrangement. Include the image source and the required date for assessment. Confirm the actual material and supplied components before approval, then keep the final export distinct from visual references and previous campaign files.

Frequently asked questions
What image resolution does a poster need?
There is no useful single requirement detached from print size, image content and viewing conditions. Supply the highest-quality source file available, identify the planned crop and the finished size at which the image will appear, and ask for an assessment of the source in the proposed layout. File checks support preparation but do not decide whether the message reads from where people stand.
Can I enlarge a small website image for a large poster?
Avoid it. Enlarging a website thumbnail and changing its resolution label does not create more detail. Find the original photograph or illustration instead, and keep small logos and text in an appropriate artwork form rather than embedding the whole poster as a screenshot when the original layout is available.
How do I make a poster easy to read from a distance?
Set a clear order: headline, supporting explanation, then the next action, because someone approaching a wall display needs the main message before the details. Ask a colleague unfamiliar with the project to glance at a checking view and say what they noticed first. If it is a secondary logo or decorative texture, adjust the hierarchy.
What size should I print a poster to fit a frame I already own?
Provide the frame’s actual insert and visible-window measurements rather than only its advertised overall size. A frame may conceal part of the print, so keep essential information away from both the trim and the visible opening, and ask for the confirmed trim and bleed instructions before finalising the artwork.
Will glare affect a poster displayed behind glass?
It can affect readability. A dark text block placed on a detailed photograph can become harder to read in a reflective setting, so consider glare and lighting when assessing the design. Describe whether the poster sits at eye level, above a counter, behind glass or near another display, and discuss the intended surface and placement.
