Color that pops out

I suggest you do not use neon colors for your campaign poster as they are very gaudy.

You should use black and/or dark blue poster paper and paint on the text with the colors white + red, yellow, blue, green, or pink (at least three of these latter colors). Try to use the color white in the center of the poster for contrast to allow better reading.

Another campaign poster design technique is using the reverse: dark on light. Use white poster paper and insert a cartoon-like picture with varying bright colors outlined thickly in black. The text that accompanies it should be black, red, or blue.

This is just my two cents, considering I have helped many of my friends design their campaign posters during elections and I also create posters, fliers, etc. for clubs.
