Creative poster design tutorial basic principles

In order to create this creative poster I followed 3 basic principles:

1. I want it to be light a colorful
2. It had to be minimalistic
3. It had to be eye catching

Never forget that a poster has the purpose to communicate something to the viewer. Keep that in mind when designing it because you want to find a balance between the creative and the functional aspects of it. In plain words, your creative poster must be eye catching and easy to find the information it is supposed to communicate.

You don’t want your viewers to be looking for the relevant information on your design. The information should have a hierarchy and be well-structured so that the reading flow is natural.
