In this video, we are going to take a look at how we can create a screen print poster effect.
This effect can give your poster design a tactile, human quality with plenty of colour and creative flair.
In this video, we will be looking at creating posters for a fictional zoo to promote some of the star wildlife on offer where we will be using photography, typography and graphic images as part of the poster design.
In this video, I’ll demonstrate how to use the tools of Illustrator to create this poster design specifically and later we will look at how to make some variations.
To create this poster in Illustrator we are going to cover the following key steps:
Step 1: Research & Inspiration

Step 4: Stroke Grid Setup
Step 5: Working With Type
Step 6: Working With Image
