Effective Billboard, Transit and Airport Advertising Designs

Keep Your Outdoor Advertising Design Simple
Outdoor advertisements should be straightforward and to the point. Go with one creative idea. In many cases, billboards, transit and airport ads are used to help your audience get somewhere or suggest what they should be doing. Resist the urge to pack a lot of information onto a billboard. If you keep the message simple, you’ll get a better response. Because our audience is mobile, exposure time is typically four to five seconds. So say it loud and say it clear and in seven words or less.

Use Readable Fonts
Fonts selected for outdoor ad designs must be easy to read from variable distances. Use large, legible typefaces. Fonts with thin strokes or ornate script will be difficult to read, so stay away from those. Adequate spacing between letters, words and lines will enhance visibility. Another tip: words with both upper and lower case characters are generally easier to read than all uppercase characters. Download Letter Height Guide »
