This online version incorporates a new user interface (UI) and user experience (UE) to help meet the printing demands of all skill levels. There are two main paths at the top of the page to start the poster-creation process. The user can either select a type of output (Flyer, Poster, Calendar, etc.) they want to create and start designing from scratch or choose from a variety of pre-designed templates, segmented into various themes, such as food and beverage, retail, sale, COVID health and safety, and many more. If the user needs creative assistance, PosterArtist offers an “Auto Design” feature. Simply select a category such as “Retail”, enter a title and images you want to use, and content will be automatically created and proposed for the user to choose from.

PosterArtist was designed with many types of markets and applications in mind including:
