1. Veteran’s Day Poster Veteran’s Day Poster Service and Sacrifice Images for Inspiration and Tips for Making a good poster Take a look at these images to help you think about how posters can show a message. Really good posters have strong pictures that are colored well. Words on a poster should be easy to read. Remember that the letters should be shapes (that can be colored in) and you should decide where to place them in the poster as you are also thinking of where to put the pictures you want to add.
