Design Posters, Not Landing Pages

What are posters?

Well, in a nutshell, posters are visually pleasing single pages of highly optimized information for quick scanning and understanding. 

Does that not sound exactly like what you are trying to achieve with your landing page? 

The guys over at Carsonified understand this concept really well and they managed to convert really well with this style.

Designing a poster is easier said than done; here’s what you need to focus on:

• Well placed headlines
• Concise and to the point copy
• Eye catching imagery and design
• Creative use of color
• Simplicity

Here are some great examples of “posterphile” type web design:
