Poster Design in Glasgow
Posters for Glasgow businesses and venues — window displays, in-store promotions, event bills and notices. Designed for the distance they are actually read from, which is the constraint that separates a poster that works across a room from one that only works held in your hand.
Why this comes up
The problem
Posters are designed on a screen at arm's length and displayed across a shop floor or a street. Type sized to look balanced on a monitor is unreadable at the distance the poster is seen from.
What you get
What we deliver
- Type sized for real viewing distance, checked by printing a section at full scale
- A hierarchy that survives a glance — the one thing to read first is unmistakable
- Resolution set to the format, since a large poster is viewed further away and needs less
- Colour prepared for the print process, including large flat areas that show banding
- Sizes supplied for each place it will appear, rather than one file scaled up and down
- Print-ready artwork with the mounting or display method accounted for

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.
Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites.

Poster Design in Glasgow — common questions
- How big should the text be?
- Governed by viewing distance rather than by the poster's size. A rough working rule is about 25mm of cap height for every 10 metres of distance for a headline. The reliable test is printing a section at full size and standing where the viewer will.
- What resolution do you need for a large poster?
- Less than people assume, because large formats are viewed from further away. A billboard at 300dpi is enormous and unnecessary. The specification comes from the printer and the viewing distance together.
- Will the colours match our other printed material?
- Close, not identical, unless spot colours are used. Different presses and stocks shift colour, and a poster printed large-format will not exactly match a litho-printed brochure. Where exact matching matters, that needs specifying up front.
- Can the same design work for social media?
- The message can; the layout usually cannot. A poster is designed for distance and a social post for a small screen held close. Adapting properly is quick, resizing blindly is what produces unreadable posts.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
