Memorial Poster Dates Without a Dash
InMemoryStudio ·
A dash between dates is familiar, but full labels can be clearer when the layout gives the dates separate lines. The style should preserve readability.
Example text
Born [Date]
Passed away [Date]
Remembered always.
Make it fit your situation
Do not use born and passed away labels around years whose meaning has not been verified.
Keep date labels close to the numbers they explain. If the labels sit on opposite sides of a portrait, a reader may connect them incorrectly or overlook them entirely.
Before you finish
A memorial poster needs to communicate at a glance. Keep the main message larger than supporting details, and check it from the distance guests will stand. Use a separate sign if practical instructions overwhelm the tribute.
