Keep It Simple

Billboards are often viewed in a matter of seconds. Messaging should be very concise and to-the-point. Tell your story with strong visuals and strive to communicate your message in seven words or less. Position your elements using hierarchy, drawing visual interest to what is most important.

Contrast and Visibility

Research demonstrates that high-color contrast can improve outdoor advertising recall by 38%. Choose colors that play well together and are easy to read from varying distances. Select fonts that will be legible from a distance. Avoid intricate fonts and weights that are overly bold or thin.

Be Memorable

In today’s world, overcrowding a design with contact information is not necessary. It’s more important to create an eye-catching design that intrigues the viewer and compels them to remember the brand or business. When a billboard is memorable, viewers can take action at any point and use mobile devices to locate contact information.
