A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and convey information. Posters may be used for many purposes. They are a frequent tool of advertisements (particularly of events, musicians and films), social awareness activists and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of art work particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original art work. Another type of poster is the educational poster, which may be about a particular subject for educational purposes.
