Outdoor
Design
Outdoor advertising design should be simple. No one traveling at 90
miles per hour down the highway has time to look at the details of a billboard
or read long copy.
A billboard must be short, sweet, and get right to the point. If it is not, it
will be a colossal waste of money.
Effective Outdoor Advertising Design
To get the most out of outdoor advertising, an outdoor advertising
design should have a brief tagline. Limiting the tagline to seven words or less
is a good rule of thumb. Seven words can be read at almost any speed, but
anything longer runs the risk of being overlooked. Also, with a short tagline,
drivers are more apt to remember the tagline and the accompanying image as they
go about their day.
