Look For An Attractive Background Image

Here you should go for very conspicuous colors. They will always catch the eye of people. If you go for dark colors, they are most likely going to remain unnoticed. You do not want that. The background image that you will also put should be out of this world-should turn heads. Remember that it is going to be the first thing that the reader will see. 

You should put a lot of energy and invest a lot in this part. Although you want it to look amazing, you should ensure that it does not seem overly done or instead too complicated. You can, however, use a color overlay if you are a maximalist. Minimalists, however, should ensure that they use a simple image because it dominates the whole poster.
