This is an example of a blank poster template that is provided by Armed Forces Entertainment.
This is an example of how to use our poster template. Note the large typography so that it is easily readable from a distance. It also has minimal copy as to not get busy and there is a heirarachy of information, a large header in Rubber Stamp, a subhead in Advert and smaller support copy in Gotham. Add cobranding logos smaller and away from the AFE logo.
