Creating A Digital Billboard Design

By Krystal Branch


In the world of advertising, one of the best ways to be able to promote a certain product or business would be to make use of some digital billboards. These things are known to be extremely effective simply because they are known to attract a lot of attention from the people who pass by. Of course if one would want to message to get across to the audience, then he would need to make a good digital billboard design.

Now the first tip that one should take note of when making designs here would be to make sure to adjust the contrast. It is proven that people are attracted to things that have a high contrast. So in this case, one has to make his billboards have high contrast colors if he would want people to keep on viewing them.

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.

Of course font family is also one of the very important things to think about because it contains the message. Take note that when a person sees an ad, he will only be looking at it for a very short time like for a few seconds only. That is why it is recommended that designers use block fonts because these block fonts can capture the eyes for just a second.

Now take note that the presentation of the message is equally as important as the content of the message. This means that one would have to make his message short, catchy, and direct to the point. As stated above, people will only glance at an ad for a few seconds which means that they only have time to read a few words of the advertisement.

One of the best ways to attract onlookers would be to magnify a certain part in the billboards. The designer could either choose to magnify the message of the advertisement or he can magnify a picture of the product or of a person offering a service instead. In any case, it is best to magnify something in the advertisement to attract people.

A big do not in the world of designing would be to never place a lot of things in the advertisement so that it will look filled. Making it look cluttered and too full will not only not bring the message across to the audience but will hurt their eyes as well. They may actually get turned off by the company if the advertisement is not nice to look at.

Now the last tip when it comes to digital billboard design would be to make sure to avoid putting things in the center. In advertising and in art, this is known as the dead center which is the place that people never look at. So as much as possible, do not put anything important in the center.
