Basketball Poster Ideas and Backgrounds

Need inspiration for a custom basketball poster? Whether it’s for an upcoming game or just something to hang in the locker room for motivation, a little preparation before you design your poster can result in a high quality work of art that will be admired by all. Here are some things to think about when designing your basketball poster.

Take Great Photos During Games

High quality photos of the team, individual fans, the cheering squad, and fans are the building blocks for a great poster. Parents can volunteer for taking photos at a game, but it is important that they have a good camera (a DSLR is recommended) that is capable of taking close-up action shots.

Spotlight Individual Basketball Team Members

Be sure to highlight all team members in at least one photo. That will create harmony in the team and boost their spirits.

Use an Attractive Poster Background

A great poster background can really bring life to your poster. For a basketball poster, a great background is a photo of the court, or the school team’s logo. You can also try other sport themed backgrounds that are abstract in nature.
