Effective poster design requires rapidly capturing attention and clearly conveying messages. Inspired by the ``contrast effects'' principle, we propose ReContraster, the first training-free model to leverage regional contrast to make posters stand out. By emulating the cognitive behaviors of a poster designer, ReContraster introduces the compositional multi-agent system to identify elements, organize layout, and evaluate generated poster candidates. To further ensure harmonious transitions across region boundaries, ReContraster integrates the hybrid denoising strategy during the diffusion process. We additionally contribute a new benchmark dataset for comprehensive evaluation. Seven quantitative metrics and four user studies confirm its superiority over relevant state-of-the-art methods, producing visually striking and aesthetically appealing posters.
