Banners are more mobile that large outdoor signs so the advantage to look at here is mobility. Banners are often deployed at events and locations where a large number of people are gathered to do something other than look at banners. Conferences, seminars, concerts, athletic events, trade shows and campus audiences are highly diversified, which is why it is so important that your banner design is striking enough to garner the attention you need to make an impact.

Outdoor signage, on the other hand, is positioned on higher grounds as a sort of nametag on a building. Originality is a must for any business and so, custom signs are a must for this case. Banners can be made by the bulk but outdoor signage has to have its own identity.

Putting up effective and creative outdoor signage is as important as making a well-planned marketing strategy. Effective banner and signage design can be tricky to pull off, especially given the advertising medium but you can still gain a lot of success if you just remember the few essentials with outdoor signs and banners for your business.

The key characteristics of a good banner and outdoor sign are the following:

Simplesimplicity sells. A clean and professional look on signage and banners gives your business a sense of credibility. Too many graphics look too casual and confusing so stick with the basic elements of design. Your banner and signage design and images should be focused on reaching a highly targeted audience. If your banner is too busy, your message will be lost in the noise. A single image, tagline, offer and call to action is all your banner or outdoor signage needs to be effective; and sometimes you can get away with even less. Remember that your audience will be viewing your signs and banners from a distance and have no time to examine the details, so your design needs to get the message across in a bold way as quickly as possible.

Well-chosen colorOutdoor banners and signs need bright colors because they have to compete with a lot of background noise; but sometimes indoor banners are more effective when subtle. If they're too loud, they can become an unwanted distraction. To help your indoor banners stand out better, try incorporating a bright border that frames a light background; and accentuate your text with a drop shadow. Outdoor signs dont necessarily need to be made with loud colors but they do need to catch your eyes attention. Bold and full fonts are the best choice for this case. Signages with cursive font are difficult to read at a distance so always consider the view from afar. If youre using images, use high resolution ones. You should at least have 300 dpi (dots per inch) or more for banners with images.
