62 05 Design and Production

63 Effective Outdoor Design Guidelines Designing an out-of-home advertisement is different than designing a print ad. Here is a list of Intersection s recommended guidelines for designing a transit/outdoor ad. Creative Suggestions Always use large, legible typefaces. At a distance, thin lines optically fade or break up; and very heavy fonts blur together. Use no more than 10 words total. Keep it short for faster comprehension. Don t be subtle. The bolder the better. Never use color combinations that vibrate (ex: red type on a blue background). We recommend 3 elements or less. 1 image, 1 logo, and 1 headline. Keep any important copy or imagery within the safety area. Templates are available upon request. Things to Remember Outdoor ads are typically viewed from a distance. Motion must also be taken into consideration. An outdoor ad is not a print ad. 7 seconds is the average viewing time if the viewer is driving or walking. Approx. 30 minutes for the average bus/train rider. 8 minutes is the average dwell time if the rider is on a platform.
