An attractive quote poster should be easy to read and have complementary colors with a well-balanced layout. For example, the fonts should work well together and have a scale, placement, and color scheme that isn’t harsh and distracting to the eyes.
Choose a background that enhances the quote—either by sharing visual elements or reinforcing the message conveyed in the quote. A quote about athletic endurance and motivation wouldn’t typically pair well with a background photo of flowers or fish.
Avoid including too many elements and leave some blank space, since the focus should be on the quote. When using a photo as a background, it’s often helpful to lower the transparency to increase the visibility of the text.
