Our in-house design team can work with you to come up with the best creative approach for your campaign. Outdoor is a highly visual medium and good design is crucial to the effectiveness of a campaign as it will engage with consumers to deliver your brand's message.
If you are a designer or creative agency please refer to the Design Specifications page.
Design Tips for an Outdoor Campaign
- Keep it simple
- Have one clear message
- Only include essential text, less is more!
- Choose colours carefully, bright images are generally more effective
- Stand back from your design to see if it works – remember the format it will be seen on
- Double check your spelling and any dates being used in the advert
- Make sure your logo/brand name stands out
Technical Design Guidelines
- CMYK for print
- Always supply a high resolution pdf
- Outline fonts
- Images should be 300 dpi
Printing

We recommend you contact our Technical Centre to confirm the dimensions of your poster prior to printing.
