Whether you are designing a banner, poster, or sign, they have to be unique and convey your message clearly. You have to use the right images, an attractive font, and images that stand out.
With digital printing taking over, designing your large format printing material takes some expertise. We are here to help you with a few design tips for your next large-scale print.
1. Right Image Format
JPEGs are grossly inadequate for your large format print. They are pixelated and may be unclear on a large canvas. Use vector images that are made of shapes, lines, and colors defined by a mathematical equation. The images and colors will be crisp and sharp no matter how large the print is. Vector files are also smaller in size when compared to JPEGs. Look for files with the EPS extension, which is the most common vector image file format.
2. Choose the Best Font for Readability
Single out fonts that will give long-range readability. When designing a large banner or signboard, you want the information to be visible even from a great distance. Whether you are creating
outdoor banner stands or
floor graphics, pick simple fonts that prevent crowding of the letters. Find a balance between bold and simple fonts, and leave enough blank space on your canvas for a balanced effect.
3. Choose a Unique Printing Material
Large-format prints are no longer limited to vinyl canvas.
Real estate sign posts can be printed on foam core board, and wood or metal can be used for
outdoor banner stands. Fabric works well for
retractable banner stands. Choose a material that offers durability and longevity.
4. Pick Pantone Colors
The colors you see on the computer screen may look different when printed on the canvas. Choose Pantone colors for your printing as they give high-quality finished products. To create an exact color match, the Pantone Matching System uses precise ink mixtures. The most common color model used for image representation in this type of file format is CMYK. It has a very colorful range with a lot of contrast. Pantone prints will produce the best color results if you want your sign to display vibrant visuals.
5. Use the Right Content
Your content should communicate the intent. Create content that will appeal to a wide range of people. It should persuade the audience to act. They should be enticed to learn more about your products or services.
