Designing Large Format Banners for Printing
A beautiful print should start with a well designed banner. Most excellent designers, in the 21st century, utilize graphic design programs such as Photoshop® or Illustrator® to create stunning and punchy graphics. There are lots of items to consider such as combinations of colors, contrasting tones, readability of the copy – including choosing effective type styles and sizing – as well as the content of the banner signage itself.
In designing effective advertising, you will need to consider the most visible placement for your banner. Will it have a short or long viewing distance? At what rate of speed does the traffic flow past it? And then what do you do from there? How will those factors affect or influence your banner’s design?
