Gather your assets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need a few building blocks before you start designing your poster. All of these asset packs are available on Creative Market, so download them all before you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poster_1\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Poster 1<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thread Starter<\/strong> by Colllab Studio for a festive font that adds a touch of elegance to your main logo <\/p>\n\n\n    <figure id=\"card-6962741-404988750\" class=\"product-card full \" data-product-id=\"6962741\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"404988750\"><\/figure>\n    \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Christmas Graphics Pack<\/strong> by MaryArt for 40 hand-drawn elements to insert a little \u201cho ho ho\u201d into your poster design<\/p>\n\n\n    <figure id=\"card-10308312-2144851726\" class=\"product-card full \" data-product-id=\"10308312\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"2144851726\"><\/figure>\n    \n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poster_2\"><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Poster 2<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Molra Beauty<\/strong> by HansCo Studio gives you another attractive font if you want to go down a more traditional route<\/p>\n\n\n    <figure id=\"card-284259618-2037899819\" class=\"product-card full \" data-product-id=\"284259618\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"2037899819\"><\/figure>\n    \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Christmas Essentials<\/strong> by alenaganzhela for a fun little flurry of cutesy Christmas elements<\/p>\n\n\n    <figure id=\"card-289219265-1335402411\" class=\"product-card full \" data-product-id=\"289219265\" data-index=\"0\" data-width=\"full\" data-pin_it=\"\" data-module=\"Product Embed\" data-block-id=\"1335402411\"><\/figure>\n    \n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Set_up_your_Adobe_Illustrator_artboard\"><\/span>2. Set up your Adobe Illustrator artboard<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set up your file to match the poster size you&#8217;re going for. In this case, we&#8217;re designing a tabloid-sized poster (11 x 17 inches). Add bleed if you&#8217;re planning on having elements that go beyond the edges of the page. Your printer will be able to recommend a bleed setting that works; in our case, we&#8217;re using 0.125 inches on all four sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Add_a_title\"><\/span>3. Add a title<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a bold title to add to your canvas. We went with \u201cWinter Creative Market\u201d. Use the Thread Starter or Molra Beauty fonts linked above to make your title stand out. When you select individual letterforms, Adobe Illustrator will pull up alternates that allow you to spice up your text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Add_event_details\"><\/span>4. Add event details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type some basic details for your upcoming market underneath your bold title. We recommend adding text fields like locations, times, and dates \u2013 key event details your customers need to know. A little tweaking with fonts and formatting is recommended here to make the key details easy to catch at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Get_creative_with_your_assets\"><\/span>5. Get creative with your assets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the Christmas Essentials and Christmas Graphics Pack downloaded. Here\u2019s where you use them. Add the elements, along with any icons or textures you like, that will give your poster that wintery feel. I like to place a few squares with color swatches so they act as a palette to pull from when experimenting with hues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Export_Your_Poster\"><\/span>6. Export Your Poster<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adobe Illustrator makes this simple enough with its exporting options. We recommend exporting your new poster as a high-quality PDF file ready for print, though a JPEG also works for digital posters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The festive season is finally here, and we\u2019re excited to bring you another edition of our &#8220;Design It Yourself&#8221; series at Creative Market!
