How To Create Poster In Google Docs

Choose the flyer size

The first thing you need to do is to define the size. To do this, just click on the top menu File and then Page Setup. You will get a pop-up window with a drop-down menu, choose the Custom option and enter the size you want. For example, a vertical A4 would be 8.3 x 11.7 inches.

Define the design style

Google Slides has several predefined styles. They are quite basic and with few options to customize them, but they can help you to start your design. You will see them in the right column. Browse through them and choose the one that best suits what you are looking for.

Add images and content in Google Slides

Here the possibilities are endless. For the background, you can leave it blank if you want to prioritize readability and do something simple, or opt for an image to make your flyer more creative.

Keep in mind the quality of the images if you need to print them. They must have at least 150 ppi so that they are not pixelated. You can check this by right clicking on the image. Click on Properties and click on the Details tab. In the Image section you will see the vertical and horizontal resolution.

Is your project deadline approaching and you have run out of ideas? If you don't know which image goes best with your flyer or you're just looking for a ready-made design to make your life easier, take a look at Slidesgo's templates. You can filter them by theme to find only the ones that fit your needs.

Once you have selected the one you are interested in, download it, open it with Google Slides and modify the elements to your liking. In this example we will use a slide from the birthday cards template, that has different backgrounds.

If you need to add more images or text, just go to the top menu Insert and select the element you want to add. Remember to include the contact information and the call to action. Your audience needs to know what the flyer's objective is.
