1. Typographic art. One of the easiest types of poster styles you can try out to turn up great looking posters is the typographical art style. This special style involves you using different artistic text styles to make your color poster. Today, this is very easy to do, simply because there are thousands and thousands of free font styles that you can use for poster printing. From nice simple headlines fonts, to movie or TV based fonts, to really creative type of script and logo fonts, the sky is the limit when it comes to your choices. Just mix and match the fonts and the colors and you should have a really modern looking color poster that people will like.
2. Era posters. If you are a bit nostalgic about a few things and your color poster theme can incorporate it, one great design theme to try out for your own posters are basic ERA or Classic posters. These are basically posters with design themes that are from certain past eras. For example, the 80's and the 70's have their own distinct art style for posters that is different from the 50's and 30's. People recognize those art styles immediately, especially the ones who lived on those eras. By using these styles, you can effectively attract precise readers to your color posters.
3. Grunge. A new wave of color poster design is the grunge look. This is basically the artistic manifestation of the phrase "artfully disheveled". Which means of course that is a kind of dirty, messy abstract art that actually looks detailed, textured and beautiful. There are plenty of grunge type fonts, images and filters that should help you create that grunge type style. You can use this to make your color posters look a bit more powerful, rebellious and creative.
4. Minimalist. On the other side of grunge is the minimalist style. This involves using very simple backgrounds and fonts. The stark bareness and simplicity of this design can actually have a direct and powerful impact to many people. It is also very easy to do, as long as you have the right concept in mind. Bare backgrounds and bare text are the characteristics of these posters, but they usually have a very coherent and artistic color scheme that makes them look great.
5. "Web 2.0". There is also the new style that is going around in color posters. This is called the Web 2.0 art style. This is the new style of the web, where designs are more sleek, colorful, glossy and cute. This type of style can easily be adapted to color posters, easily making them look popular and hip. Just look at sites like Facebook and Twitter to see how the 2.0 artistic style works.
6. Interactive. You might also be interested to try out using interactive posters. These are posters that people can actually touch or play with. You can basically create a type of poster that has different moveable elements that people take notice at and interact with. Or you can also just print color posters with great panoramas or backgrounds and people can pose to. With that interactive element, people will be more engaged with your color poster, making it really memorable for them.
7. Patchwork. Finally, we have the patchwork style. This is basically a collection of different images and text that can tell a story to people. This can also be called the collage style, or the gallery style. Any combination of elements that makes up a whole new and big design will work for this kind of style. This is a great type of color poster that you can use for special designs for shows, products and location services like tourist spots.
So those are some of the simple but effective color poster styles that most people use and succeed at. If you have not tried some of these yet, you should try to definitely go for them in your next poster printing.
