Layout design, that is, composition, refers to conveying commodity information clearly and quickly to people in a relatively short period of time, so as to achieve the purpose of profit. The content displayed in the poster needs to be dealt with in reality, proportion and tone to achieve the publicity effect. The most important thing for a beautifully made poster is the layout design, that is, the advertising content is reasonably and vividly made on a certain size and size of the layout, so as to attract consumers' attention and achieve better sales purposes.
Layout design is to reasonably arrange the relationship between primary and secondary content and color. In composition, we should make full use of visual laws to highlight key points, give posters a sense of direction and order, and guide consumers to look at what first, then what, and what is the key point. Pay attention to the blank space in the poster. The general ratio is 3: 7 or 4: 6. Composition is also a division to achieve the ideal layout effect. Image segmentation mainly depends on lines or surfaces. An excellent poster work is mainly reflected in the coordination and change of each part after the picture is divided. Usually, the layout segmentation of posters is divided into horizontal segmentation, vertical segmentation, vertical and horizontal cross segmentation, variability segmentation and so on.
When people look at a certain visual point, their eyes will soon focus on this point and remain motionless. Using the principles of emphasis and attraction, contrast and blank, balance and change, movement and rhythm, the layout of posters is scientifically designed. The contents of the poster mainly include: title, text, illustrations, borders, etc. Its manufacturing steps are usually three steps: typesetting, drawing and coloring.
The subtitles in Popper's works are very important visual communication, so it is necessary to outline the most important subtitles in his works. Usually, poster POP fonts include movable type, orthographic type, soft type, chubby type and hollow type. In order to highlight the theme, you can do some artistic design on the font, such as adding borders, color contrast, deformation and so on. When highlighting the preferential price of a product, we can make a strong contrast between the original price and the current price in size and color, thus attracting consumers.
Six steps and skills of making hand-painted POP posters Six steps and skills of making hand-painted POP posters
Hand-painted POP is a kind of POP advertisement, which is mainly used to stimulate and guide consumption and enliven the store atmosphere. Because of its low production cost, bright colors and taciturn sales staff, it is favored by the retail industry. So, how to make hand-painted POP posters? What are the skills? Please have a look together.
Six steps and skills of making hand-painted POP posters 1
General process of hand-drawn POP production
Step 1: Collect the content related to the activity or product.
Step 2: Refine the title and simplify the text.
Step 3: Choose a suitable layout.
Step 4: Choose the right color scheme.
Step 5: Select relevant illustrations.
Step 6: Make POP according to the format requirements.
Tips for making hand-painted POP
Practice hand-drawn POP orthography or movable type first.
Words are the basis of posters. Beginners are advised to buy a copybook and practice calligraphy with markers and calligraphy practice grids.
Second, master several commonly used font modification methods.
The title is the soul of a poster. A good inscription can not only highlight the theme, but also make the picture more vivid. However, there are many ways to modify the title, and beginners may not find the direction. You might as well find several decorative ways you like in practice, so that you can not only master the techniques easily, but also learn them better. At the same time, it can shorten the production time and quickly improve the quality of students' hand-painted POP posters.
Third, pay attention to the layout in typesetting.
The simplest typesetting is horizontal arrangement. Beginners would rather seek stability than expect life and change. At this time, you can use decorative lines or color blocks in the decoration to distinguish the text from the title text, so that they are different from each other, but echo each other. Other typesetting layouts are as follows:
Leave the four sides of the poster blank.
This is also called the external "qi stagnation" of POP posters. If there is no stagnation of qi, the content written on the poster will be pushed in all directions, making people feel suffocated and stuffy in their chests. The specific width of blank space will vary according to the size of the poster, and 3 ~ 5 cm of blank space should be left on the four sides of 2-open (530cm×760cm)POP paper; 4-inch (390cm×543cm) POP should have 2 ~ 4 cm blank on four sides; Generally, 0.5 ~ 1 cm is left blank on the four sides of the card.
Line spacing is greater than word spacing.
As long as the content of POP has more than 2 lines (including 2 lines), it should be noted that the line spacing of each line of text is greater than the word spacing. The specific line spacing is generally between 1/3 and 1/2. The requirement of word spacing is that words are next to words, but generally they cannot be connected together, so a certain gap should be left.
Title, illustration and text each occupy about 1/3 of the poster area.
The title and subtitle of a POP should add up to 1/4 to 1/2 of the whole POP area. Usually the title accounts for about 1/3 of the poster area. (When the POP text content is less, the title can account for about 1/2 of the poster area; When there is a lot of text, the title can also be compressed to 1/4. )
Fourth, don't mix too many colors.
A poster with 3~5 theme tones is enough. Too many colors are easy to get confused, and too few can't highlight the key points. For this reason, the author suggests that the title text can be written in 1~3 colors, the body text can be written in one color (that is, the key contents (such as "delivery", price and date) can be written in another color.
Fifth, the choice of illustrations should be related to the product.
For example, the picture below shows a slim young woman, which is easily reminiscent that Besunyen's target customers are young women, and her slim figure can better reflect the slimming effect of the product.
Sixth, the production of activity posters.
Generally speaking, the main titles of event posters are relatively direct, so people can know what the event is at a glance, or the main titles are more interesting and the subtitles are more straightforward.
There are usually two types of activity poster body templates.
1. Time and place type. Just like writing a composition when I was a child, explaining "when, where and who happened", this kind of activity poster can tell you the time, place and other things that need to be notified.
2. There are prizes and temptations. "There must be brave people under the grand prize". If your competition is rich in prizes, why don't you tell everyone? Perhaps, the number of participants will double and the atmosphere of the event will be even higher.
Of course, it is more attractive to match it with a related cartoon illustration.

Draw according to photos
For beginners, learning to draw by hand is more helpful than drawing according to photos, which lays a solid foundation for outdoor sketching and creation in the future. If a novice goes directly to the field to sketch, he will generally feel that he doesn't know where to start, either the proportion is wrong or too biased, and he is obsessed with a detail and stuck in the performance of light and shadow. Therefore, it is relatively easy to cover the picture according to the photo, and students don't have to be distracted by light, shadow, color and proportion. The key point is to understand the general levels of black, white and gray. The performance of black is not a rigorous sketch performance, but mainly emphasizes the general expression and understands the rhythm of the picture. So it is very necessary to practice montague's hand painting. We must keep practicing, understand the organizational language of the picture, and learn to choose.
Problems needing attention in painting
First, selective painting
Every photo we choose can't be perfect and needs to be re-composed. The most important principle is to choose the visual center and focus of each photo, that is, the theme of the photo itself, and the rest are secondary links, which should be appropriately deleted. Can generalize painting, boldly omit generalization according to the needs of the picture, and make necessary subjective treatment. You don't need any object to cover everything, you need to shift, change things and add scenery according to the picture, all to set off the needs of the theme.
Second, strengthen contrast.
Strengthen the contrast of light and dark changes, make the light brighter, darker and darker, and get through the layers. Strengthen the contrast between the density of the picture, emphasize the difference of the material by expressing the material of the object, and properly density it, so as to truly achieve the state of being sparse and impermeable.
Third, grasp the body.
In montage, we should not only grasp the shape, but also present a clear structure, so that the pen can be in place, and the trend of the pen should also follow the structure of the object to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Don't ignore the thickness and volume of the object, and dig these details patiently, so that the picture can bear looking.
Fourth, the technique of expression
There are many forms of painting according to photos, which are not limited to the relationship between the density of lines to express the picture effect. We can also lighten the color with a pen or render it with rich colors to make the picture more vivid and energetic. In the process of coloring, we should pay attention to go from shallow to deep, go deep at different levels, start from the whole, draw a contrast, highlight the main body and portray it carefully. Finally, the practice of Mongolian drawing is helpful to improve our highly unified generalization ability and predictive control ability of bright, gray and dark pictures, which is helpful for beginners to enter the state quickly and is one of the shortcuts to learn hand drawing.
Six Steps and Skills of Making Hand-painted POP Posters (3)
Gouache is an opaque watercolor pigment, which was used to draw architectural drawings long ago. Because of the strong coverage, painting techniques are easy to master. Here is a brief introduction to the rendering skills of gouache.
In architectural drawing, vignetting is the key to express light and shadow. The main difference between gouache and watercolor rendering lies in the way of brushwork and the method of covering. Ordinary brushes are not suitable for large area uniformity. It is necessary to quickly apply a thick gouache pigment on the drawing paper with a small brush and brush it repeatedly. If the area is not large, you can draw the color on the paper with a gouache pen. In the process of dizzy pen, according to the characteristics of different brushes, multiple pens can be used at the same time, achieving good results.
There are several ways to eliminate dizziness with gouache:
(a) direct method or continuous coloring method
This vignetting method mostly uses small area rendering. This painting method is to directly adjust the pigment, emphasizing the use of brush strokes rather than letting the color flow down. Large-scale gouache rendering is to use a small board brush, brush back and forth, and add color to make it appear dizzy. The paper must be kept wet.
(2) Imitate the rendering method of "washing" in ink watercolor.
Gouache is thicker than ink painting and watercolor painting, but as long as the slope of the board is steep, it can slowly flow down the board. So you can use the method of "washing" to render a large area of vignetting. The method is exactly the same as ink painting and watercolor painting. I won't repeat it here.
(3) stippling rendering method
This method is to use a small pen tip to compose a composition, which takes a long time and uses different gouache pigments patiently and carefully to make its layers different. The sky, trees, pools and lawns can all be colored by stippling, and the displayed objects are rich in color and strong in light.
(4) spray plastering method
Spraying is to spray gouache or a special pigment from the nozzle of the spray gun with compressed air to form a granular fog. Before spraying, you need to prepare a carved mask to cover it. Therefore, this method is complicated, time-consuming and troublesome.
In a word, the purpose of architectural performance is to better express the architecture and express the architect's design intention. As for which expression to choose, it depends on everyone's mastery and preference. Architectural expression is only a "description" of the architect's works.

First, compare.
Contrast is the basic stereotyped skill of art design. Comparing two different things, shape and color is called contrast. Such as Fiona Fang, old and new, size, black and white, depth, thickness and so on. Put two obviously opposite elements in the same space, and through design, make them both opposite and harmonious, contradictory and unified, get sharp contrast in strong contrast, and get complementary and satisfying effects.
Second, harmony.
Harmony means harmony. On the premise of meeting the functional requirements, coordinate the combination of shape, color, light and quality of various objects in the room and become a very harmonious and unified whole. Harmony can also be divided into harmony between environment and modeling, harmony of material texture, harmony of color tone, harmony of style and so on. Harmony can make people feel peaceful and satisfied visually and psychologically.
Third, symmetry.
Symmetry is a traditional technique of formal beauty and the earliest law of formal beauty mastered by human beings. Symmetry is divided into absolute symmetry and relative symmetry. Up and down, left and right symmetry, isomorphism, homochromatic and homogeneous pairs are called absolute symmetry. In the interior design, it is symmetrical. Symmetry gives people the feeling that order, solemnity and neatness are the beauty of harmony.
Fourth, balance.
In life, the golden rooster is independent, and the actor walks a tightrope, which gives people a stable visual art enjoyment from the balance of power, so that people can obtain a psychological balance of vision. Balance is to configure different shapes, components and colors according to the central axis and center point. Compared with the symmetrical form, the balanced form is lively, vivid, harmonious and beautiful.
Fifth, the level.
A decorative composition, to distinguish levels, so that the picture has depth, breadth and richer. If you lack a sense of hierarchy, you will feel mediocre, and interior design should also pursue a sense of spatial hierarchy. For example, the color changes from cold to warm, the lightness from bright to dark, the muscle reasons from complex to simple, the shape from big to small, from square to round, the composition from gathering to scattering, and the muscle reasons from single to diverse can all be regarded as rich changes. Hierarchical changes can achieve extremely rich visual effects.
Sixth, echo.
Echo and shadow go hand in hand. In interior design, ceiling, floor, desktop and other parts will play a corresponding role by adopting echo methods and dealing with the shape. Echo is a kind of balanced formal beauty and a common technique in various arts. Echo also has the theories of "corresponding symmetry" and "relative symmetry". The artistic effect of echo is generally obtained through image correspondence, virtual reality, momentum and other means.
Seven. Continue.
Continuity means continuous extension. People often use the word "image" to refer to the external shape of all objects. If an image moves up and down regularly, it will continue to move from left to right. This continuation technique is used in space, which gives the space a sense of expansion or guidance, and even deepens people's impression of key scenery in the environment.
Eight, concise.
Concise or concise. Refers to the indoor environment without gorgeous decoration and redundant accessories. Reduce interior decoration to a minimum with the principle of less but better. Think that "less is more, simplicity is richness". Simplicity is one of the methods worth advocating in interior design, and it is also a very popular trend in recent years.
Nine, unique.
Unique is also called special. Unique is to break through the original law and stand out from the crowd. In nature, "a little red in the evergreen tree and a piece of green land in the desert" are all unique manifestations. Uniqueness comes from contrast and exists in mutual comparison. In interior design, breakthrough imagination is especially respected to create individuality and characteristics.
X. tone
Color is one of the important factors that constitute plastic arts design. Different colors will make people feel different colors visually. For example, red, orange and yellow have a warm feeling, which is called warm color system, while blue-green has a cool and quiet feeling, which is called cold color system. In interior design, various colors can be used, and there are many colors, which can generally be summarized as "same color, similar color, adjacent color, contrasting color" and so on. , and can be used flexibly according to different environments.
How to make a POP poster?
There are many ways and methods to make POP advertisements, and the application of materials is countless. Among them, hand-painted POP is the most flexible, economical and friendly. The basic principle of making hand-painted POP is: 1, which is easy to attract attention; 2, easy to read; 3. You can know the focus of your appeal at a glance; 4. aesthetic feeling; 5. Have a sense of unity and harmony; 6. efficient.
First, various tools:
The choice and application of tools is very important. Choosing a good and suitable tool will often get twice the result with half the effort. For example, glue spraying can be used to deal with large-scale pasting actions, which is far more efficient than double-sided pasting or glue pasting. How to make various tools play their own characteristics is something we must consider in advance. Another thing worth noting is the display tool. If the finished work is not displayed by the display tool, or the display effect is not good, then even the best work is in vain.
There are many kinds of materials and tools used to describe or write, each of which has its own unique expression and effect. Among them, the Mike pen is called the POP pen because it is easy to master and easy to write, while the flat-headed pen is soft to the touch, and can write a variety of POP styles, which is also loved by everyone.
All kinds of pens
Cutting tool
Measuring tool
Paste tool
Second, when learning to write POP fonts, we must abandon the previous writing methods, because the main appeal of POP is that the fonts are clear, concise and powerful, and there is no need to make fancy changes in the fonts. In addition, for price POP, because the writers are different, the fonts can't be much different, which is also the requirement of POP fonts for integrity, and personalized fonts are not emphasized. For different commodities, good or bad fonts will have a certain impact on the specific sales of commodities, which is not desirable. In POP posters, innovative and personalized pictures and fonts are needed to maximize the reading rate and attract attention. In the application of color, we should also strive to be clean, not all kinds of colors. Generally speaking, there should be no more than four colors on a page. When doing POP, we must look at the problem from the perspective of consumers. As long as the most important price can be clearly expressed, it is the best POP.
Use popular fonts.
Third, several aspects should be paid attention to when writing POP:
1, when writing, write the name of the whole product and indicate the specifications.
2. When writing the price, pay attention to the obvious size of the numbers before and after the decimal point.
3, to indicate the original price and current price, to reflect the degree of price reduction.
4. In principle, there can't be more than two items on a POP, otherwise the visual impact can't be achieved.
5. No more than three colors, mainly red, blue and black.
Hand-painted popularity-the writing method of subject words
Title writing
1, find the completeness of the end structure of the word group: generally, the number of words in the title text of hand-painted POP posters should not be too many. For a little more text titles, the font changes should not be too big, and the font size and spacing should be as consistent as possible to avoid affecting readability. If there are few headline words, only three or five words or less, you can make great changes in fonts or word groups according to your own design requirements. At this time, you should pay more attention to the overall sense of the whole title word structure and the balance of the whole word group.
2. Artificially change the characteristics of the matching pen: Generally, the title characters are designed in a thick font, but the pen tool that can be used to write the title characters, whether it is a flat pen, a round pen, a brush pen or a thick POP advertising pen, has great differences in the shape and characteristics of the nib. Therefore, how to master the characteristics of pen tools and properly play the role of changing and beautifying fonts, the most important thing is the proficiency of pens. Repeated practice and consideration of rhythm coordination can make font changes natural and beautiful.
3. Personality of the words drawn: People have different personalities, and different types of goods or similar goods with different shapes, colors and textures show different personalities. Therefore, we must consider different commodities and draw personality according to their nature. For example, the hand-painted POP in cosmetics counters can use more feminine and slender fonts for the title; In the home appliance industry, TV, air conditioner and refrigerator with cold appearance can use tough and masculine fonts. If an antique teahouse is decorated with modern characters, it won't work. Therefore, before writing, we should consider the nature and types of goods and shops themselves, so as to determine the font personality, such as elegance, novelty, softness, hardness, massiness, lightness, modernity and classicality.
4. Additional effects: Adding some auxiliary lines on the font or beside the words will produce three-dimensional, overlapping, shadow and box effects. In order to avoid self-defeating, we must pay attention to two points:
There are many words in the title, so it is not appropriate to add unnecessary effects.
Don't be grotesque in color, which makes people difficult to read, so as to maintain a generous and fresh aesthetic feeling.
Finish writing the words
Write a horizontal line first.
After adding vertical strokes, the dark part is where the strokes overlap.
Horizontal stroke grip
Vertical stroke grip
Graphic design of flat stroke font
Use a pencil to write the calligraphy and painting first. At this time, we should pay attention to:
The strokes of 1 font should be evenly distributed and the shape should be as full and square as possible.
Draw the strokes in the two bodies as close as possible.
The three words should be compact, so that the whole title word becomes a group of words with a sense of integrity.
Hand-painted popular poster making
The original "post" of the poster was originally converted from the "post" posted on the post, and the notice posted on the post can be called "post". In terms of design terms, "poster" and "poster" can be defined as "a kind of plane advertising poster medium" or "a kind of large-scale printed advertisement posted".
POP advertisement is the abbreviation of Piontofpurchaseadvertising, which is translated into "point of purchase advertising" in Chinese. All advertisements displayed in places where goods are purchased are called POP advertisements, which aim to attract consumers' attention, induce them to enter stores, and then stimulate their desire to buy. POP emphasizes the position of consumers, and it is an advertisement designed from the convenience of customers. Successful POP has the decisive ability to make customers buy goods, which is the end of advertising activities and the starting point of promotion.
Poster posting location can be freely selected, and several posters can be posted in one place to enhance the impression. Posters are not only easy to paste, but also can be displayed for a long time, and can be repeatedly appealed to collect repeated effects. POP must be exposed where it is sold, which is the biggest difference from posters. Although in a limited place, the scope of the performance is still full of infinite diversity.
This form of advertising can be seen almost everywhere, not only in supermarkets, but also in department stores, book shopping centers, restaurants, fast food restaurants, fashion shops and other places, and we can often see hand-painted POP posters. These do not require exquisite printing and huge production costs. Sometimes a simple hand-painted POP advertisement written casually is far more effective than the decorative POP deliberately made by the manufacturer.
The task of hand-painted Popper:
1, to promote the attention and understanding of commodities and increase consumers' desire to buy, such as using illustrations, copywriting and colors.
2. Communicate brand, value, features, content and materials, such as features and materials.
3. Explain the purpose of the goods, so that consumers can understand and develop the demand.
4, with excellent copywriting and text design, reminiscent of the excellent quality of goods.
5. Description and signs of commodities and sales places.
6. Show the image of the store and create a shopping atmosphere.
7. Create an in-store atmosphere and show a sense of season.
8. Cooperate with SP (store promotion) activities, and use it in commodity display or performance to increase the performance effect.
And atmosphere.
9. The demand for good quality and low price has promoted mobile purchase, such as exaggerating price performance during sales.
Valid label location for POP:
1, around the eye height, you can clearly distinguish the reading position.
2, the location of the mark should not damage the overall beauty of the goods, or hinder the delivery of goods.
3, the location of the label and commodity promotion, should be configured in a position that is easy to identify.
4. Effective use of ceiling space and the position of beam-column surface.
5. Show the dead angle with hand-painted POP resurrection.
Hand-drawn POP-Writing of explanatory text
Explanatory writing
In the design of Chinese fonts, in order to make their glyphs stable and uniform and conform to the aesthetic principle, besides the basic strokes, the most important thing is to fully understand the structure of each part of the font and the configuration of the radicals, so that the strokes can correspond and be put on the shelves evenly, and become a set of practical and beautiful fonts.
Chinese characters are square fonts, which are arranged one by one by individual fonts, and can be arranged vertically and horizontally. When arranged vertically, the reading direction is from top to bottom, and then from right to left; Horizontal lines are from left to right, and then from top to bottom. Because it has two different directions, when there is a complete continuous text, readers are often uncertain about the reading direction. In order to avoid the above-mentioned undesirable phenomena, we should first determine the reading direction, and reserve space between lines, or flatten or lengthen the text to form a visual effect with lines, so as to display the reading direction of continuous text and achieve readability.
There is no absolute standard for how wide a line should be, because there are several practical factors that may affect its variables, such as: font type, thickness, size and variation; How many words are used per line (length), the nature and length of the copy. These factors are interactive. Nevertheless, in the actual production of printed fonts, half a word (half a corner) to one word is usually the easiest to read, while hand-drawn fonts are shorter because of their larger fonts, and 3/4 words to 1/4 words are the most practical. Sometimes, in order to facilitate readers to read in turn, the arrangement of words must also take into account its "moving line" and "introduction"
Hand-painted fine print pens of POP, such as thick signature pens and exotic pens with round heads, are generally used to describe more explanatory texts. If you want to describe them beautifully, you must pay attention to the following two points:
Draw the bottom line with a pencil first, and then describe the text, which will be neat and beautiful.
There should not be too much distance between words to have a sense of compactness.
The explanatory text of hand-painted POP advertisements, if arranged horizontally, is usually described by the principle of "no words on the left and right, and wired up and down".

Recently, the legal drama "The Bottom Line" starring Jin Dong, Cheng Yi and C
