Seven Tips for Choosing a Movie Poster

With the seemingly never ending array of movie posters available nowadays, it can be hard to decide on that perfect movie poster you have been looking for. Before you go ahead, and hang that new poster of yours on the wall we have come up with a few quick tips on narrowing down that process.

Tip #1:
The most obvious choice here is making sure you have a poster or posters that at least to some degree match the color scheme of your room. Try to avoid colors that will clash with your room's overall design and decoration.

Tip #2:
Decide on the size of your poster. Door posters, 11x14 inch lobby cards, common 24x36 inch posters, half sheet 22 x 28 inch posters, or even large wall murals are all possible options.

Tip #3:
Choose your poster based on a favorite genre of your such as sci-fi or horror movies. If you decide on more than one poster within an area in your home or office it’s nice to have a continuity of theme.

Tip #4:
Decide if you want to have a poster that can be considered to be collectible, original posters rather than the less expensive, poster reprint variety.

Tip #5:
Consider if your want your movie poster to be more artistic in nature. Classic movie posters were usually done by artists rather than the photo composites that are more typical of today’s modern movie posters.

Tip #6:
Frame your poster. UV filtered Plexiglas frames are best for protecting your poster investment.

Tip #7:
Don’t forget 3-D posters or lenticular posters. Nice for the kid’s room.

Summary:
In conclusion, we have to some degree narrowed down some of those difficult poster buying decisions and no matter what poster you decide on be sure to enjoy the process and have fun choosing a poster that is best for you and satisfies your particular movie poster interests.
