What do you think about when you see this poster? For you, this might be just a poster, nothing else. It contains necessary information, who cares? But if you actually break down the poster and look at the work that went into it, only then you can appreciate how well it's made. I've done a lot of design work and still do from time to time. So these type of things get me looking and how also the people react to it. I say this with a point, that this is a standard people have set. This is the quality they are used to. Let's look at commercials, movies, anything else. People have this average meter line, which is already set high when it comes to things like these. And it is often associated with a word, could be professionalism. Big serious one to watch. So when you put your own work out there, whether it is content or an ad or a poster, you need to be aware of these things. If you hire a beginner designer, for example, who is five times more cheaper, you're most likely getting a product that is below that average line. Now, one thing to keep in mind is it depends on the brand as well. If you think you need a simple poster and you've done your research to the point where that's all you need.
