Choosing the Right Poster Size
Poster dimensions affect viewing distance, repetition, printing, transportation, installation time, pricing, and surface coverage.
| Poster size | Recommended San Francisco campaign use |
|---|---|
| 8.5 × 11 inches | Smaller announcements and repeated grids |
| 11 × 17 inches | Events and neighborhood promotions |
| 24 × 36 inches | Technology, music, restaurants and fashion |
| 48 × 72 inches | Major launches and large wall displays |
Smaller posters allow greater repetition. Larger posters give campaign photography, typography, and branding greater physical scale.
