After all, a very large part of printed matter is produced according to the same templates - except that pictures and text change. And you can easily replace them yourself if you have a special tool. And you have it!

With the help of the constructor development of printing design of various types, each of which is the subject of a separate article in this section. There we describe in detail how best to make a particular layout and what subtleties should be taken into account. In the same block, we propose to talk about how the layout constructor works in general, without touching on specific cases.
Layout design development in this constructor is absolutely free, because you make it yourself, and we only provide the tool and templates (there are several hundred of them in our database). You can use any of them an infinite number of times and not pay a penny for using them.

Free Online Editor: Pros and Cons
Of course, our print layout designer has both advantages and disadvantages. Before you decide whether you will make a layout with your own hands, let's first expose the whole truth about this editor:
Advantages of a free constructor
Saving. This is perhaps the most obvious plus, which already follows from the name. Because it works online editor for free, you can save on paying a freelance designer or a full-time specialist who can do more important work in the free time.
Speed. During the time that you would have spent filling out the brief and coordinating the details with the designer, you will have time to make not one, but even several layouts.
The absence of "deaf telephones". There is a famous expression: “if you want the work done right, do it yourself”. With our designer, you will not have to worry that they will misunderstand you, choose the wrong shade or confuse the name of the company. You will definitely find a common language with yourself :).
No creative pain. Dozens of templates are at your disposal. Even if absolutely nothing comes to mind, you can use any of them and get a quality result.
Cons that the graphic editor has:
Limited functionality. Since the constructor is intended for use by people without special design education, it is difficult to call it a full-fledged tool. It allows you to perform elementary actions with strictly defined types printing products and is unlikely to replace professional graphics programs.
Non-uniqueness. Our templates often look very attractive and without additional processing. Therefore, they are often used in full, replacing only the text and contact details. This speeds up the work, but increases the chance of seeing exactly the same image from someone else.
As you can see, at least there are few shortcomings, but they still exist. Therefore, it is better to learn about them before you use our free online builder. So that there are no further misunderstandings.
How to start creating a design layout
Making a layout design begins with choosing the type of product you need. On our website you will find layout tools six most popular types of polygraphy. For each of them in our database, there are many templates that can be changed to your taste: change the color, add and remove details, insert a QR code, and so on and so forth.
For specialists who are ready to create a similar design layout for money, prices may vary from a thousand rubles to several tens of thousands. The amount is tangible, and if you add to it the payment for work on edits, which many designers require, then for some customers the final cost will become completely unbearable.
The printing house "Print" offers to make a layout design absolutely free of charge. It can be based on one of several dozen ready-made templates that are already in our library. We have tried to organize these templates by topic and application, so it will not be difficult for you to find the right one for you.
Life hack: some of our templates are located in several constructors at once (adjusted for size and format). So, if you need to keep a single form style for business cards, flyers and stickers, you can find a similar template in each of the designers and quickly create a complete set of printing.
Among other advantages of using our constructor is that the preparation of design layouts for printing in the Printing house will be performed automatically and our employees will not have to spend additional time on it. This means that your order will be printed faster.(of course, in the event that you decide to immediately print your work of art, and not save it for later).
Well, it seems that we have already told about all the formalities, it's time to start the most interesting thing - layout design layout.
Types of design layouts
Depending on what kind of layout design you are going to order, the requirements for its design and style will differ. In our opinion, all layouts can be divided into the following categories:
Personal. Their main goal is to tell about their owner. At a minimum, this should be the First and Last name, as a maximum, a place for a photo must be provided in the layout. We also have such templates.
Artistic- perhaps the most unusual of all. Creating such in our constructor will be somewhat problematic. Still, a template is a template, and even with great effort it cannot be turned into a unique work of art. If you need something really outstanding, you should contact a designer or even an illustrator.
Fortunately, layout design Yekaterinburg and other talented cities have already generated a lot. Some of them look quite specific and are not suitable for all tasks. Others, on the contrary, are very versatile and will look great almost always - no matter if it is a personal or business layout. Therefore, you can be 100% sure that you will be able to find an almost ready-made design layout for almost any occasion without leaving our website. The cost of developing a layout design in such a development of events will be equal to zero.
Are there really designers who are willing to work for free? There are also such ones, but most likely once and someone probably paid the designer for this work, but the “shelf life” for it has long expired and now everyone can use the template. But don't be afraid of accusations of plagiarism - our design layout program allows you to rework and change the layout very carefully. So that even the author himself will not understand that this design is the original layout created on the basis of his work.
Making an advertising layout
The design of an advertising layout requires special attention from the creator, because it is designed to effectively promote a product or service. So, it should be original, attractive, informative, selling and not too expensive. After all, its main goal is increase company profits rather than selling at a loss. Since our constructor works for free, the cost of your advertising will be lower than it could be. It remains only to think over the design and it's in the bag.
The development of print design in this case requires not only bright creative ideas, but also meaningfulness.
To make sure that all your advertising investments pay off, try to name the main goals of your future printing products before you open the layout editor. Formulate, and even better, write on paper - what do you expect from this advertisement, how to people should react, think over the most effective scenario for you (whether people should take promotional products with them, store them or immediately exchange them for goods, etc.). Even the identity of the promoters who will hand out your advertisements can have an impact on the future layout. Don't be afraid to spend time at this stage. In the future, you can easily make up for it, because the more thoughtful your plan is, the less thought will be required in the process of its implementation.
We can say that the graphic design of layouts for advertising products should be as utilitarian as possible, performing certain tasks, and not the embodiment of the author's creative ideas without regard to practicality. This is the only way you can consider your advertising campaign effective.
Layout Design Lesson
If until now it seemed to you that make your own design layout very difficult, we hasten to assure you of the opposite. We perfectly understand how difficult it is to master design skills from scratch, to understand all the intricacies and intricacies of layout, and at the same time you still need to somehow manage to continue doing your direct work, take care of your family, and relax. We wanted to free you from unnecessary worries, so we tried to simplify our editor as much as possible.
Now, when designing layouts online, you don't have to worry and try to understand such highly specialized categories as indents, tolerances, formats, and so on. We have already taken into account all the complex requirements for design layouts from the very beginning. Forget about them once and for all! You just have to open our free editor layouts and proceed to the most enjoyable part of the development - thinking through the details. Let me give you some simple but very useful tips.
We take an example from experienced typesetters:
Try to design layouts for printing in several versions. You have an infinite number of attempts in order to create the perfect layout. So why stop at the first one? It will be optimal to make about three to five layout design options and conduct an impromptu focus group among colleagues and specialists - which one is better. An outsider's eye, by the way, will help to get rid of possible typos and shortcomings in time. After all, even the best eyes tend to “blur” and not notice obvious flaws.
FROM technical specifications, which our program uses to prepare the design layout for printing will go unnoticed by you. Therefore, you should not take the image beyond the safety lines indicated by us if you are not 100% sure that you are doing it correctly.
If possible, do not send the layout to print immediately after you make it. It is best to re-examine the finished work in the morning, or at least switch for a few hours and do something else. This way you can see your layout with a “fresh look”. Most likely, you will want to make some additional changes.
Subject to these simple tips you don't have to blush for your work. We think that acquaintances will ask for the contacts of that cool designer who made these excellent layouts for you. And you can casually answer: yes, I drew it “on my knee”. Great prospect, isn't it?
How do the best design layouts come about?
Many mistakenly believe that a good layout is a beautiful layout. Or one that paid a lot for. Or one that was drawn by a very cool designer. All this is very far from the truth. The most important quality is efficiency. Ask yourself: Is my layout fulfilling its intended purpose? And if you answer "yes" - congratulations! You did a good job.
How do you know if you can design a layout?
We have already repeated it more than once, but you probably remember that the methods of creating a design layout may differ depending on the goals, financial capabilities, level of complexity and other conditions. If you need a layout design - first analyze how it should be, and can you do everything that you have in mind? Does it seem hopeless? Open our editor and try it out. You don't have to take this job very seriously. Rather, on the contrary, try to create something funny and funny. For example - business card famous Zhdun.
After a few minutes of exercise, you will feel confident and understand that it is not necessary to spend money on design development services. It is in your power to cope with this task without outside support.
Of course, it also happens differently. You can be absolutely sure that you can easily master our constructor, but it turns out that it does not have the functions you need. In this case, it is better to first consult with our manager (suddenly you just didn’t notice the right button or don’t know how to use it). And if our specialist cannot help you, you will have to look at third-party designers.
Last argument for:
Online layout editor can make your life a lot easier, and an online layout editor for free - it will also save you money. Employees of the printing house "Print" are very fond of doing both. Therefore, we will be very happy if you appreciate our constructor. Try using our constructor right now. We hope you enjoy it so much that the need to make up layouts will never again be your headache, but will turn into another thing that you do with pleasure.
How to make a layout without flaws
We hasten to dissuade those who believe that it is more profitable and faster to buy a layout than to make it yourself. In reality, creating layouts for money or for free has little difference. You are equally likely to find a masterpiece layout online or get a pathetic hack for your hard-earned money.
Free layouts from the print house designer were once also created by professional designers. Moreover, their quality already confirmed by experts our printing house, and all necessary for printing technical requirements strictly observed. And vice versa - making layouts from a third-party designer can result in unforeseen problems.
Why does this happen?
The fact is that not all professional designers specialize in printing. Your performer can be incredibly talented and creative, but not know the basic prepress requirements. The layout he made will be amazing original idea and perfection of detail, but to be completely useless for typography. We can say that sometimes our simple graphic editor knows more about printing than an experienced designer with a higher education.
In addition, in order to do the work qualitatively, it is necessary to spend several years either a student who, by definition, does not have much experience; or a person, not only for training, but also for gaining experience. It is unlikely that you are ready to pay for a rather primitive job at the highest level. So, for its manufacture, who does not want to spend a lot of time and effort to get minimum payment. There is a high probability that he will do the work "slipshod".
That's why we highly recommend at least try to create a layout for free before turning to other specialists for help. If you still decide that this job is too tough for you, then use our tips to choose a good designer.
Signs of a good designer:
The designer must have experience working with printing. All printing houses have approximately the same requirements, so it will be enough if your hired specialist has managed to develop at least a couple of layouts in the category that interests you.
The designer has his own portfolio, and he is not shy about showing it. Before trusting a specialist with your order, study his previous work. Well, if these are graphic images. Even better, if he can show you their embodiment in reality (the so-called “author's copy”)
If the designer does not even try to ask clarifying questions about what you would like, what your company does, what layouts you think are successful and which are not so good - chances are that he does not care at all about what the result will be. With this approach, it is very difficult to do the job well.
We hope this information will help you make the right choice.

Very often, marketers use posters in their advertising campaigns. We analyze how to make it, what to look for when designing and where it is better to place it.
The poster is a real art. Marketers, designers and artists around the world compete in the beauty, efficiency and unusualness of their masterpieces.
But creating a poster is not as easy as it might seem. Designers need to take into account a lot of details both during the creation process and after. Read, save and learn new things.
What is a poster
The poster is not only beautiful images celebrities who, as children, glued everything on the walls. In a broad sense, poster- a catchy image with a short text, made for propaganda, advertising or educational purposes.
A modern poster is primarily associated with advertising, which is not entirely true. No less popular is the informational and design poster.
Informational the poster is most often found in the form of various posters. the main objective such posters - conveying important cultural information to the audience, announcing events.
For decoration, you can also use specially made posters.
Poster history
Despite the fact that the first “traces” of posters are found in ancient Egypt (images with information about escaped slaves), it is still customary to call the artist the father of the poster. The Frenchman, according to many, is an artist of relatively little talent, which, however, did not prevent him from becoming the creator of a new genre. In 1866, he opened a workshop for the production of lithographic paintings, which was the beginning of the poster.

Bright image
As it is called in marketing - an eye-stopper. The main task is to attract attention, to arouse curiosity. A non-standard image or a bright picture can act as an eye-stopper.
Use one image and don't forget that the poster will be large, so the picture must be in good resolution!
header
The title is not required, but in most cases it will not hurt. Like a picture, it should attract attention, which means it should be read from a distance.
The title can be the name of the promotion, the name of the product, the message about the sale.
Text
The less text, the better. The font must be large. When laying out the text, you need to highlight the trademark and logo.
Use no more than two fonts: one for the body text, the second for the title.
Color
Choose bright, contrasting colors. Contrasting hues blend better and make the poster easier to read.

- Show the benefit of the product.

10 signs of a good advertising poster
How and where to place posters
The placement of the poster depends on its type. If this is an advertising poster, then first of all it is placed on the street: special stands, walls of buildings, fences, stops - wherever as many passers-by as possible would notice it. It is important that nothing around distracts from the poster and does not interfere with it. He should be the center of attention.
The same applies to an informational poster, for which the main thing is to reach a large audience.
Another thing - decorative posters. Here are some tips for placing them.
Posters look most advantageous on plain surfaces. And it doesn't matter where exactly: in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom or in the restaurant.
In addition, posters can be placed on the wall in different ways.

4 simple rules for creating
poster if you're not enough
poster designers
Pay attention to who you are making the poster for.
Text must be readable
Text perception takes precedence over style. If possible, complex and ornate fonts should be avoided. They can convey a certain mood and aesthetic, but it makes no sense if the viewer has to concentrate for a few seconds to understand what is written on the poster. It is also important to pay attention to the size, letter and line spacing, color combination.
All these factors affect how the mind perceives what is written on the poster. Working with the same font of the same color, you can create both a perfect text in terms of perception and completely unreadable.
The radical aesthetics of the futurists involved the maximum departure from the usual forms in all creative fields, including graphic design.
Don't overload the poster
Most often, two fonts are enough for a beautiful poster, sometimes three. If you use more, then, most likely, you will get a heap of text, the poster will “spread” and will no longer be perceived as a whole. The same goes for flowers. Too generous use of color can scatter the viewer's attention and distract him from the text.
Rules can be broken
Like any creative work, typography does not tolerate very rigid frames. Everything that has been described above has many exceptions in many cases. It is strange, for example, to make a rave poster without using flashy acid colors. It is only important to understand why the poster should look this way and not otherwise, so that in the context it looks adequate and harmonious. In the end, often the designer initially understands what needs to be done and how to do it in order to realize the idea of work as much as possible, and focuses only on his feelings.
As you know, the poster is much larger in size than a simple A4 sheet. Therefore, when printing on a printer, it is necessary to connect the parts to get a single poster. However, doing this manually is not very convenient, so we recommend using software that is great for such purposes. We will consider several of the most popular representatives in this article and talk about their functionality.
RonyaSoft develops various programs for working with graphics and images. A separate niche is occupied by the poster designer. Poster Designer has a list of various templates that will help you create a project faster and better, and you can also edit the banner in detail on the workspace by adding various details.
There is a wide range of tools and clipart clip art. In addition, immediately after creation, you can send a poster for printing, having previously made some settings. If it is large, then you will need the help of another program from the same company, which we will consider below.
RonyaSoft Poster Printer
It is not clear why the developers could not combine these two programs into one, but this is their business, and users just have to install both of them in order to comfortably work with posters. Poster Printer is designed exclusively for printing already finished works. It helps to competently break into parts, so that later everything is perfect when printed in A4 format.
You can set the optimal size for you, set margins and borders. Follow the installed instructions if you are using such software for the first time. The program is available for download for free from the official website and supports the Russian language.
Posteriza
It's a great free program that has everything you need to create a poster and prepare it for printing. It is worth noting that you can work with each area separately, for this you only need to select it to make it active.
It is possible to add text, various details, images, set margins and adjust the size of the poster before sending it to print. You just have to create everything from scratch, since Posteriza does not have established templates that you could follow when creating your project.
Adobe InDesign
Almost any user knows Adobe by the world famous graphics editor. Today we will look at InDesign - the program is great for working with images, which will then be divided into parts and printed on a printer. By default, a set of canvas size templates is installed, which can help you choose the optimal resolution for a particular project.
It is worth paying attention to a wide range of tools and various functions that you will not find in other programs. The working area is also made as convenient as possible, and even an inexperienced user will quickly get used to it and will not feel discomfort during work.
Ace Poster
A simple program, the functionality of which includes preparing a poster for printing. It doesn't have any additional tools such as adding text or applying effects. We can assume that it is only suitable for one function, because it is.
The user only needs to upload a picture or scan it. Then specify the dimensions and send to print. That's all. In addition, Ace Poster is distributed for a fee, so it's better to think about it, test the trial version before buying.
