3 Useful Design Tips to Make Sure Your Digital Signage is Catchy and Attractive!
Making content for the event home page for you can be an engaging and a fun process with aspects like colour, contrast, design and other creative processes to play with and experiment. When you engage a company or an individual to design the digital signage for you, there are a few points you could keep in mind so as to give you an idea of what a good design must consist of. Here are some of the most important tips.
1. Must be Legible and Have Sharp Contrast: The main factor for legibility is contrast; if there is no sharp contrast, the message could get lost. Make sure that even if you choose the same family of colours for the theme, the background colour and the text colour are many shades apart. LED signs can improve the legibility still, more the contrast, better the legibility.
2. Maintain a 3X5 Rule for Text: Make sure you keep in mind that the message on the screen must be concise and clear. Do not add in too many words and dump way too much information on the readers. Make sure that you do not use more than 3 lines with 5 words each, or 5 lines with 3 words each. If you are using LED signs that are displayed at a height, make sure the text is large enough to be visible from a distance.
3. Perception and Colour: Colours can make a good contrast and the choice of colours will help leave an impression in the minds of the readers regarding your service or products. Remember that all colours are a mixture of the 3 primary colours, red, green and blue.
Our eyes are most sensitive to green, then red and least sensitive to blue. In order to make your designs attractive, make sure you use dark coloured text on light background or light coloured text on a dark background. Keep a good control over the impact the information can make and try to do research on what a viewer’s eyes are most drawn to.
While trying to make it attractive, also make sure to keep the goal of the digital signage in mind, which is imparting knowledge, and creating awareness about your business.
