Let your message stands out and shine on a poster! Posteroid will literally 'design' your poster as you type, using its own adaptive layout logic. It is not about providing a sea of options but provoking one's creativity with the minimal set of controls. CANVAS In the first step of creation, you can select what makes your canvas: your photo. You can resize the photo with two finger gestures and reposition it if you like. You can apply a blur filter on your photo with the slider on the right. Last but not least, we also provide a range of canvas ratios to which your design will adapt. MESSAGE At the end of the day, it is all about what you say. As you simply type your message, Posteroid magically puts it into an immaculately designed form. You can choose from 5 different layout rules: Block, Sudoku, Left, Center or Right. Yet there’s a room for controls, you can place your message to the top, in the middle or to the bottom. Additionally the slider on the right gives a control over the line height - the spaces between the lines. FONT What typeface you use determines what voice your message has. Posteroid provides a selection of fonts covering many languages around the world. As the icing on the cake, the slider on the right allows you to adjust the letter spacing. You will find how charmingly all layout options apply it and how intensively the look of your message changes by that. STYLE It’s time for the final touch. Color options for Posteroid are versatile, both text and background can be filled with either a single color or a color gradient. Your gradients can be linear or radial and you can add more colors to them by tapping anywhere on the color strip. If you want to remove one, you can simply drag it out. The slider on the right here controls the opacity of the currently selected color. GALLERY Now you have a beautiful collection of your creations. Tapping on a poster shows what you can do with it. You can edit it - all properties are editable from Canvas to Style. You can share it - anywhere you like from your camera roll to other social networks. Of course, you can delete it too. One last thing: The settings and properties you used in the last poster will remain for a new one you create, so there is no need to set everything again from the scratch.
