5 Tips for Designing a Billboard

Here are a few simple tips to get a headstart on your billboard design.

1. Use a Template

If you’re going through a creative block or struggling to find inspiration for a billboard design, the best way to get started is to use a template. You can easily customize a print-ready billboard template to match your own branding and create a unique billboard design without an effort.

2. Find the Right Font

Making your billboard easier to read from a distance is one of the most important parts of designing an effective billboard. Use a font that improves readability. A sans-serif font with a bold character design is the best choice for billboard design.

3. Aim for a Minimalist Design

Adding lots of images, shapes, and text in the billboard design can make it harder to notice and read at a glance. Create a minimal design that highlights the content above everything else. A design that anyone can easily notice no matter where they see it.

4. Choose Appropriate Colors and Images

When using colors, make sure to pick a color palette that’s appropriate for the billboard placement. Pick colors that make the text easier to read in different outdoor conditions such as sunlight and night time.

5. Present Your Design Like a Pro

Last, but not least, use a great mockup when presenting your billboard design to clients. Mockups help add a more realistic look and feel to your billboard. And it allows you to show clients what your design might look like when placed on a real billboard.
