Event Posters: Date, Place, Hook—Nothing Else Competes

The five lines

1. Event name
2. Date and time (with timezone if online)
3. Venue or link
4. Hook (one reason to show up)
5. Ticket URL or QR

Scale test

Print a thumbnail on plain paper. If date is not readable, bump weight—not color count.

Series branding

Monthly meetup? Keep the same border and type; swap only the guest name and photo. Poster AI Creator duplicates make this trivial.
