Design Tips
Make Your Sign Unmissable
- Prioritize Readability: Use large, bold fonts for headlines and key information. Avoid overly decorative fonts for critical text.
- Embrace White Space: Don't overcrowd! Ample space around text and graphics makes your sign look cleaner and helps key messages stand out.
- High-Contrast Colors: Ensure text contrasts strongly with the background (e.g., dark text on light backgrounds, vice versa). Our smooth white board is ideal for vibrant colors.
- High-Resolution is Key: Always provide your artwork in the highest resolution possible (300 DPI at final size). Low-res images will look blurry when printed large.
- Include Essential Info: Clearly state your core message, brand name/logo, website, contact info, date/location (if relevant), and a clear call to action.
- Keep it Simple: Focus on 1-2 main messages. Too much information overwhelms viewers at a distance.
- Leverage Your Branding: Use consistent brand colors, fonts, and logo placement for instant recognition.
- Consider the Viewing Distance: Design elements need to be sized appropriately for how far away your audience will be (e.g., trade show booth signs need larger elements than a tabletop menu).
- Incorporate Quality Imagery: Use sharp, professional photos or vector graphics. Avoid low-quality, pixelated images.
- Proofread Meticulously: Double and triple-check all text for typos and grammatical errors before submitting your file.
- Plan for Bleed (If Needed): If your design has background colors or images going right to the edge, include a 0.125" (1/8") bleed area in your artwork file.
- Avoid the "Sticker Look": Our direct printing process gives a seamless, professional finish. Avoid designs that look like they were made with individual stickers or cutouts unless that's your specific intent.
