With the emergence of Canva, making posters is now an easier job. However, it is still not something that just about anyone can do.
Recently, a poster by Putrajaya’s PH candidate, Dr Noraishah Mydin Abd Aziz went viral for looking like an amateur’s work.

The poster is an invitation to the public to an event celebrating Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the 10th prime minister and also to appreciate those who volunteered during the elections in Putrajaya.
As we can see, the poster itself is a little scattered and there were many elements clashing with one another which made certain parts hard to read.
Following this, many netizens commented on how the poster looked very amateurish.
“Did an intern do this?” a netizen asked while another said that it’s not even an intern’s work but more like a kindergartener’s project.
Some say that it’s the first product of a graphic design student.
Other more opportunistic netizens decided that this is the perfect chance to offer their services.
“Dr if you need a graphic designer, can I apply?”
As the poster went viral, Dr Noraishah has since replaced it with a more simplistic one that conveyed the invitation better.
Helpful netizens also gave feedback to the candidate, for which she is thankful for as she wants to learn.
Due to massive traffic on the quality design of the poster, this is the latest poster supplied to me ???
Hope to see all lovely Putrajayans supporter of Pakatan Harapan there#HARAPAN pic.twitter.com/FKM5mxVqYT— Dr Noraishah Mydin Abd Aziz (@AbdMydin) December 2, 2022
