During this lesson we will be exploring… Welcome to Creative Stories Places for posters Image:

Let’s start by exploring “Places for posters”. Image: /

What is a poster? Posters are made to be on a wall for people to see. Posters can help sell products and encourage people to attend an event or be involved. Posters can have bright and bold pictures with writing. Image:

Where is a good place for a poster?

Poster in a home A home can be a personal place we keep things that are really important. This can include posters. A poster in our home means only our close family and friends get to see our poster. Posters can help make our home bright and vibrant. Image:

Posters outside Bus stops and train stations are great places for posters. People waiting for their bus or train can check them out. Posters don’t have to be big. Sometimes smaller posters grab our attention more. Image:

Posters on buildings For many years buildings have been a popular place for posters. Buildings are great places for posters because they can be seen by many people. Image:

Posters in other places Posters can be inside of shops, malls and restaurants. They can be in magazines and newspapers or as flyers handed out on the street. They can be exhibited in museums, galleries and libraries. Image:

Posters have been around for more than 200 years… So what makes a poster so interesting that we still use it today?
