Banners are part of life on a small piece of fabric.

A banner is a fabric on which a slogan or image is applied. The literal translation of this word from French is "transparent."

The photo shows a banner banner without text.

History

Banner came to the modern world from the distant past, when the main attribute of the holiday were flags, ribbons and bright pictures on canvas. For the first time, banners gained their fame in 1910. Then they were made by hand, drawing neat letters with oil paints on canvas.

Later letters were drawn through stencils. As a result, advertising signs, names of shops and various institutions began to appear on the streets. Revolutionary banners came into vogue after 1918, at the same time firmly rooted in the life of the people. At first they were located only in squares, near party buildings, then they began to appear between houses and along the roadway.

Much later, banners began to decorate holiday venues. The first fabrics appeared with images, but without text.

Banners are always a personification of a holiday (in the photo there is a poster for the New Year).

Today, a banner banner together with other decorations is present at every holiday. The variety of signboards near shops and their entrances, as well as along major highways, undoubtedly owes its appearance to banners.

Types of banners

By the method of applying the constriction there are photographic and printing. In the first case, an image from a digital medium (camera or computer) is transferred to the film using a special technique. With the printing type, the text is applied to the film with a marker or a laser machine.

The modern model is managed banners. This is an image on a liquid crystal monitor that can be freely deleted, edited and even changed on it.

Modern banners are large computers that have significant advantages over printed posters. For example, they have a much longer service life, and you can change the picture in a few minutes.

Basic requirements for the design of banners

Among their considerable diversity, the following can be distinguished:

1. The size is determined based on the placement. Text or images should occupy the maximum area of ​​the canvas.
2. The text should be minimal (for convenient quick reading).
3. At the top there should be a heading that is 2 or more units larger than the main test (there may not be any headings at all).
4. When applying the image, all details should be as large and clear as possible.
5. On colored banners, the inscriptions must be filled with black or dark blue paint (other colors will merge).
6. All details, as well as text, should be placed evenly throughout the entire volume of the sign. A large number of details will smear the overall picture.
7. To extend the life of the banner can be placed in a transparent file or coated with a special film.
8. When drawing a picture on the base, you need to make sure that there are no defects on it.

Banners are modern ways of presenting information. Today, their manufacture is put on stream. Therefore, a handmade banner is very rare today.

Many museums still keep the memory of the past years in the form of the first banners-extensions.
