Tips To Making A Digital Billboard Design

By Krystal Branch


Digital billboards are all the rage today because they are usually placed in a lot of high traffic places that would attract a lot of attention from passing people. It is because of this that this is one of the best forms of advertising that any company would want to use. Now if one is a designer if these types of billboards, then here are some tips on digital billboard design.

Of course contrast and brightness are two very important things when it comes to designing really good digital billboards. Now the thing about high contrast and brightness would be that it would attract a lot of attention simply because it can shine to the eyes. It is for this reason that ads are really bright.

Of course with regard to color usage, it is also very important to use the right type of color for this type of thing. Now it is always best to use bright shouting colors like red, orange, or yellow. Of course the color would actually depend on the nature of the product or service but generally, the bright ones are usually used.

Now with regard to the font, it is best to use block fonts so that the words are very easy to understand. When people would pass by billboards, they will only glance at it for a few seconds which means that the few seconds must already have a good impact. This is why the main message has to be in a block font so that people can see easily.

The way the message is presented is also crucial when making this type of ad. One has to remember to make the message not only short, but straight to the point and easy to understand as well. There are no people who will stop by the roadside and take time to read something really long and wordy because people have their own lives to lead.

Of course one of the most common designing techniques that a lot of designers would use when they make advertisements would be to magnify things. Making things bigger will straight away bring the attention of passing people to the ad and the message stated. The designer may have the choice of magnifying a certain word in there or an object.

Now another very big thing to take note of is to never put too many things in the advertisement. This is simply because if the ad is cluttered, people will not even bother looking at it in the first place. So the technique when it comes to designing would be to keep everything simple for the onlookers.

Now the last tip when it comes to digital billboard design would be to avoid the center. The center of a canvas is also called the dead center and is known in art to be the place where people never look at. It is for this reason that designers must always stay away from this point.
