When it comes to designing a 27 x 39 poster, you need to keep in mind how large the poster will be when printed. Because it is the largest standard poster size, you need to make sure that your font size and images are large enough so that they are easy to read and can be seen from a distance.

Take a look at where your poster will be to determine the farthest away you would like your audience to be able to read it. It can be beneficial to print a few font sizes on your home printer to test what sizes and typefaces you should use for your professionally printed poster.

In addition to making sure the copy of your poster is easy to read, you also need to make sure to only use high-quality images that are at least 300 dpi in resolution and try not to scale up images any more than 20%. Using low-resolution and scaled images can cause your photos to appear blurry.

To make your 27x39 poster stand out and generate the best results create a design that has high contrast, a color palette that aligns with your brand, a simple and clean layout, a balanced image to text ratio, and a call to action that your audience can’t refuse.
