Definition
A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Traditionally, since the last few decades the posters were used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works. Nowadays posters include also both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly text. Another type of poster is the educational poster, which may be about a particular subject for educational and research purposes. Faculty of Science and Engineering
