Poster

A poster is a large sheet, usually made of some type of paper or plastic, that is placed either on a public space to promote something or on a wall as decoration. 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 informative.

Posters may be used for many purposes.
They are a frequent tool of advertisers, propagandists, protestors, and other groups trying to communicate a message.
Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to the original artwork.
