Create a list or a good description of what needs to be included on your poster. This list should normally include the times and dates of any performances, a tag line for your band and even any reviews--for example, a positive line from a music critic's review. Brainstorm ideas for your poster's design and put your ideas on paper. While you may not intend to create your band poster yourself, you do want to create a basic rough draft or template that will give a graphic artist a reference to use as he goes about the work of creating the poster for you.

Ask a friend with access to a graphic design program, such as Adobe Photoshop or the freeware program GIMP, to design a poster for you if you are not familiar with using a graphic design program. You can also advertise in your community to find a graphics designer. You could even sponsor a contest to have fans design a poster for your band. This can be both a great way to promote your band and get a really great design to boot.
