Size and Scale Considerations

From a design perspective, a sign is one of the largest components ever designed. So, you’ll want to weigh a lot of importance on the size and scale of your sign. After all, your sign has to be read and understood from a distance, and often by people who only have a few seconds to look in that particular direction. Your sign should be big, and yet simple for maximum impact.

Location Really is Everything

Think about where the sign will be placed. Will it be indoors, or outdoors? Then, consider what color background is present in the location, as you’ll want to select a color palette that contrasts with the environment. You’ll want to place your signage in a location that is in the most visible and highest traffic areas.

Simple Typography and Message

If your potential customers and target market are driving by or only seeing your sign in passing, you’ll want to make sure that they can understand and absorb your message in a few seconds. Bold lettering can help aid readability from a distance, and it’s a good idea to make your typography big, simple, and clear. The simpler your sign is, the more effective it will be.

Contrast

Effectively using contrast is also critical when you only have a couple of seconds to catch someone’s attention. Therefore, every focal point in your sign needs to be clearly distinguishable. With colour, pair different hues that stand out from one another.
