Effective Designs For Digital Billboards

Be Simple

Simplicity is the fundamental guideline for creating goood outdoor designs and the same principles apply when designing for digital outdoor media. The most effecgtive outdoor designs capture the essence of an idea, which is then conveyed with brevity and clear expression.

Outdoor audiences are mobile and have limited exposure to messages. Use short and simple words for fast an easy comprehension. There should be no more than 10 words overall and less than five words in the headline.

Be Bold

Ensure immediate product identification by making logos and brand names large. Choose graphic elements with a strong focal point since busy photographs or graphics are often difficult to discern.

Use large legible typefaces. Choose fonts that are easily read at long distnces. Fonts with thin strokes or ornate script will be difficult to read.

Font Samples

Upper and lower case letters are particularly legible. When designing for a roadside display, a one foot letter height is unreadable while a two foot letter height is marginal. A letter height greater than three feet is clearly readable.

Be Colorful

Avoid using a white background when designing fo a digital display. White is a mixture of all color in these situations, rather than an anbsences of color, and will appear subdued or muddy. White does not carry the same vibrancy that other colors convey.

White Background

The perception of color can change depending on the amount of ambient light surrounding a digital outdoor display unitl. For this reason, rich background colors are more impactful during daylight hours, while pastel backgrounds are more vibrant at night and on cloudy days. Digital outdoor display technology can automatically compensate for these factors.

Colors

Use bold colors with high contrast. The following 14 color combinations for outdoor design represent the best use of color contrast for readabilitiy. The chart evaluates primary and secondry color combinations, taking into account hue and value. Example one is considered the most legible combination.

Be Flexible

Take advantage of the flexibility that digidal outdoor media offers. Change messages weekly, daily or even hourly. Design with a creative strategy that tells a story or communicates numerous details using multiple design layouts.
