This online version incorporates a new user interface (UI) and user experience (UE) to help meet the printing demands of all skill levels. There are two main paths at the top of the page to start the poster-creation process. The user can either select a type of output (Flyer, Poster, Calendar, etc.) they want to create and start designing from scratch or choose from a variety of pre-designed templates, segmented into various themes, such as food and beverage, retail, sale, COVID health and safety, and many more. If the user needs creative assistance, PosterArtist offers an “Auto Design” feature. Simply select a category such as “Retail”, enter a title and images you want to use, and content will be automatically created and proposed for the user to choose from.
PosterArtist was designed with many types of markets and applications in mind including:
Schools – Student-of-the-month posters, study guides and research presentations
Offices – Project management charts, sales/campaigns notices and sales result charts
Hospitals – Decorations in rooms, diagrams and schedules
Law Firms – Evidence, timeline and other court room visuals
Retail Stores – Sales campaigns, pricing comparisons and in-store maps
Hotels – Wedding reception displays, greeting notices and evacuation routes
Transportation – Local area maps, service information and guide maps in airports
Factories – Process management charts, production line layout and supervision charts
Health & Safety – COVID posters, labor laws and personal hygiene
And much more
This version incorporates a new feature that allows users to replicate a textured look of Gold and Silver within their creations. This new imaging processing technology makes it possible to add strikingly bold Gold/Silver texture effects to text, backgrounds and shapes. More importantly, this unique feature combined with the Fluorescent Pink Ink, only available with the imagePROGRAF GP Series, creates bright, bold and enhanced output. In addition, users can choose from a wide selection of images from photo service providers Pexels, Pixabay and Unsplash with millions of photos to select from or have the option to import their own photos.
Note: The first time you access PosterArtist Online, you will need a Canon ID. If you do not already have one, you can easily create one quickly using a variety of online services.
