Design Tips

Use less words: Typically, people only have a few seconds to read your sign. Include only the most essential information: what, where, when.
Use large, simple fonts: People will read your sign from a distance. Make sure all your important text is large enough to read at least ten feet away. Decorative fonts may also be difficult to read, so choose fonts that are clear and simple.
Keep it simple: People will only look at your sign for a few seconds. Ensure your message shines through. Don't clutter your sign with too many pictures or too much text.
