How to Make a Concert Promo Poster

If you're promoting an upcoming concert, you'll need to know how to make a concert promo poster in order to draw people out. A visually stimulating concert promo poster with all of the vital information will make it more likely that people will come out to your show and know how to get there.

Instructions

    • 1

      Collect all of the necessary information for your concert promo poster, including the artist(s) performing, date, time, location, price and whether or not it is an all-ages show or age specific. If the concert benefits a charity or has a theme, be sure to include that information as well.

    • 2

      Open a graphic design program like Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw.

    • 3

      Set the length and width of your poster. For example, a typical concert poster size is 11 by 14 inches.

    • 4

      Select a background color for your concert promo poster. Choose a color that complements the vibe of the artist(s), as well as the concert itself. For example, black is a typical background color for a heavy metal concert promo poster.

    • 5

      Paste the logo(s) of each artist performing at the concert. If you don't have an actual logo image for each artist, choose a simple font that fits the vibe of the artist and type the name out.

    • 6

      Arrange the essential information (date, time, location etc.) around the flyer in such a way that each element would be clear and large enough to a person passing by on the street.

    • 7

      Save the concert promo poster file on a CD or flash drive.

    • 8

      Bring the concert promo poster file to a printing center, upload your image and print as many copies as you need.
