Posters of Cities of
Russia venues for World Cup 2018
A
poster is a large poster, usually with an image or photograph, which is hung on
a wall as a decorative element. The poster can be a communication exposed on a
plank at a scientific congress.
The
term POSTER comes from the English poster (sign that is placed on a pole), but
also from the Latin. It is the sum of two parts: "postis", which is
synonymous with "post", and the suffix "-er", which will be
the "agent". In general, the poster has no advertising purpose or has
lost this property.
