Poster B
🖼️ Fewer words, more impact. Poster A tries to say everything — and so you remember nothing: the eye gets lost, you give up. Poster B says ONE thing ("DJ Night"), with the date underneath, full stop. In one second, you know what it is. It's the golden rule of visuals: choose THE main message, make it big, and cut everything that doesn't serve it. The details (buffet, cocktails…) go elsewhere — not in the hook. A visual isn't a manual: it's a sign you read while walking past. This course teaches you to create images that grab attention, even without being a designer or knowing how to draw.
What this teaches you
A sign, not a manual
1️⃣ A single message
Choose THE thing to remember, make it big. The rest supports it, or goes.
👁️ The one-second rule
If your visual isn't understood in 1 second, it says too much. Simplify.

2 quick questions
1. A good visual conveys…
Right: one main message, big. The rest goes elsewhere.
2. If your visual isn't understood in 1 second?
Right: saying too much = conveying nothing. Simplify.
What to remember
A visual says ONE thing — the main message, big.
The one-second rule: understood at once, or too cluttered.
