Who is the Public Relations poster for?
Public Relations belongs to the Marketing section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning advertising & creative can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Public Relations poster?
You give up control of the message in exchange for credibility. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Public Relations belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Public Relations?
Setting the Budget, Measuring Advertising and What Advertising History Teaches sit alongside Public Relations in the Marketing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Setting the BudgetMeasuring AdvertisingWhat Advertising History Teaches
Is the Public Relations poster free to download and print?
Yes. Public Relations downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Marketing section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Public Relations poster print at?
Public Relations is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Public Relations loses nothing.Printing guide
