When it comes to advertising for an event or business, you want your marketing materials to stand out and reach as broad an audience as possible. Custom banners make spreading awareness of your event simple. At Great Originals in Anchorage, AK, their dedicated team can create the perfect custom banner according to your specifications. Before you send off your design requests, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Pick the Right Size

Vinyl banners come in all different sizes, from small signs perfect for a mobile booth or large, eye-catching sheets sure to attract attention from motorists and pedestrians alike. Before selecting a size, consider where you’ll be displaying the banner. That way, you’ll be able to choose a size that will catch the attention of your intended audience.

Stay Away from Intricate Fonts

Elaborate fonts that mimic traditional script or handwriting are difficult to read at a distance. This is why most people opt for fonts with bold, clear lines. Thicker lines are easier to read at a distance and will reduce confusion about your event.

Think About Colors

Banners are available with different color background and text. It’s important to consider your color scheme to ensure you choose easy to read colors. The last thing you want is for the sign to be too difficult to read. For best results, choose colors with a high contrast that catches the eye and allows people to read the text quickly and easily.

Explain Where the Sign Will Hang

Vinyl banners require finishing to keep the edges from unraveling and the material from ripping in the elements. The finishing techniques vary depending on where you’re planning on hanging the sign. Be sure to explain where the banners will hang so the crew at Great Originals can finish the material properly.
