Wanted Poster Templates

by Aslam · February 9, 2023

Sometimes it happens that you want something but do not have any idea where to find it so you ask your surrounding people for help by distributing a document that contains all the information about that person or thing. This document is called a wanted poster or flyer. This could be a small-sized pamphlet or a full-size poster which takes a lot of room on a notice board. You can find anything with the help of this poster as police and law enforcement agencies use this poster to aware people of a criminal on the loose and ask them to help the government to catch him. This way when police distribute this poster all over the place, city, or state, whenever someone finds out that he has seen the man from the poster around the block, he informs the police and helps them to catch that criminal.

Yesterday I got a phone call from one of my old friends. She heard about this website and visited it but didn’t find what she was looking for, “Wanted Poster Template”! So she called me and asked to create one template for herself. Actually, her puppy (dog) was lost last week and still missing. So I created the following template for herself but rather than sending her directly, I am uploading it here as I was looking for my next topic too. Now she is going to download it from here 🙂

Just like that if you want a place to buy or rent in the city but have no clue where to find it, you make real estate posters on which you ask people to help you get a place around a few blocks’ radii. In the same way, you can find a pet, a vehicle, or any other thing within a few hours or one to two days. This way you don’t have to make much effort and by distributing or hanging the posters in the right place, you can find your desired thing in no time. This is a very effective method of finding something that you don’t know where to start looking for and if you want you can also put a reward notice on the poster which says that the one who will inform you about the thing you want, you will reward him in cash. This way, people take more interest in the search to get the reward money.

General Guidelines to create a Wanted Poster:

The most important thing about this poster is the picture of the person or thing that you want. A picture says a thousand words and you don’t have to work a lot when using a huge picture on the poster. A colored picture is better but if it’s not available, you can use black & white too.
Before you start, gather all the information that is required in this process. Write down everything on a piece of paper to make sure that you are not missing any detail.
Start by putting the picture at the top of the poster and spread it on the entire width of the paper. If you want you can leave a little space on the borders for extra designing or coloring.
Below that put the word “Wanted” in bold and large letters so it’s easily readable from a distance and no one has to put on his glasses to read it.
If you are offering any reward for the person who finds it, put that here in slightly bold fonts.
After that, put all the required information about the person, pet, vehicle, or property that you want. Make it brief and don’t leave anything.
Then at the end provide your name, street address, and contact numbers both landline and mobile so that if someone finds your required thing or person, he can call you or meet you in person.

Updated after 1 Hour:

Just got another call from her. She is looking for a printable template :(. So she didn’t like the background I used. Hence here is an updated version for herself and whoever is looking for a white background wanted poster template.
