How many images should I include on a banner for an in-person art show or market?

There’s no fixed rule—it depends on how the design looks. You could use four, six, or eight images, but the key is whether they’re displayed well and each image is large enough to showcase its quality. As a photographer or artist, you have a good eye for composition; trust that instinct. Design multiple mockups with different quantities and layouts, then choose the one where the images look best and aren’t too small or crowded. Balance visual impact with clarity. The goal is to attract attention and represent your work well, so prioritize quality of presentation over a specific number of images.
