When designing a series of posters A1 down to A5 should the design remain constant or is it ok to use the xtra space on the larger one to add in more content?

Thank you

    Larger posters are for viewing from further away.  Adding content is going to lead to a busy design.  White Space is king.  Clutter is nasty.

    Consistency is important but reduce the content as you start reducing the poster size. Use only the content that is important.

    I start with the finished dimensions and then build the art to fit that dimension.  It sounds like you didn't do that.  Or perhaps you're offering the poster in more than one size?  If both sizes are offered, I think the content should be consistent.
