The For Sale poster is a subversive piece of propraganda put into the general community to influence people. Sometimes the posters are used to generate awareness or sell an old item. They are also used to help find a pet or to promote a band. These posters are a certain size, any color paper can be used and are printed in contrasty black & white in quanity.
