Challenges in Print & Digital Billboard Design
Billboards target viewers who are literally on the move. Typically, a viewer only glances at a billboard for about 6 seconds. This means you’re not only competing with other advertisements and the surrounding environment in general, but you’re competing against the clock as well. Billboard design must ensure that your company’s message is conveyed quickly and leaves a lasting impression.
Most billboards are viewed from a distance and the viewing angle isn’t always straight on. The size and scale of the billboard design, combined with typography and imagery, all affect its readability. If your viewers can’t easily read and understand the billboard, they’re not going to become a customer.
