Designing an eye-catching sign isn’t always easy. If you’re paying for a billboard off the side of the highway, you’re competing with hundreds of other businesses for attention. And if you’re expecting pedestrians to notice your flyers while walking down the street, well, you better hope they glance up from their phones for a moment or two.
Signs are all around us, so if you’re going to put in the effort to create one, you might as well go all out. According to VistaPrint’s Ultimate Guide to Signage Design, it’s important to first decide what type of sign will be best for getting your message across. Whether you have a billboard, banner, A-frame sign, digital screen, shopfront sign, or flag in mind, your choice will determine the best way to create your design.

When it comes to promoting your brand through a sign, VistaPrint notes that it’s important to understand the story you want to tell. How do you want your business to be perceived? A sign is “a silent salesperson” that can tell the public plenty about your brand. It has the power to elevate (or humiliate) your company, so it’s important to make wise and well-thought-out choices.

There are also some basics that you should keep in mind when designing signs, so your message doesn’t get overshadowed by something silly like a spelling or grammar error. VistaPrint notes that legibility is extremely important. It’s also wise to keep your message concise. When we see too many words, we tend to tune them out. We’ve all ruined our attention spans with social media, remember? Visibility is also key. Place the sign in a location where it’ll get lots of eyes on it.
