A sale notice and a direction sign solve different problems. One tells people when and where the event happens; the other helps them choose the correct entrance or turn. Putting both jobs into a crowded small-text design makes the message harder to scan.
Prepare a short version for the entrance and, if necessary, a separate arrow sign for an approved location. Judge the wording from the distance people will actually see it, not from the editing screen.
Give each sign one job
Keep a sale notice to the event name, date and essential location details. A direction sign should prioritize a clear arrow and short wording. Use Create a poster for large text and icons, or upload your finished design.
Size for the place it will be seen
Measure the available board. Check the message from the intended viewing distance; avoid a paragraph of small text. If the arrow is important, inspect the full preview for its direction before exporting.
Mount it so the pages stay flat
Test one text-heavy tile before printing all pages. Align and tape on a flat table, then attach to a firm backing. Paper is not weatherproof: choose a protected location or suitable protection, and remove temporary signs after the event.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the direction for a second sign?
Edit or rotate the source design as appropriate, then export the new version. Check text orientation as well as the arrow.
Is this a weatherproof banner?
No. The output is a tiled PDF for paper printing. Outdoor durability depends on your materials and mounting.
