We’ve all seen roll-up banners overloaded with information, barely readable from across the room at that lakeside conference or that symposium at BICC. Whether promoting a product, raising awareness, or sharing important information, a roll-up banner is a versatile tool for communicating your message. However, to be truly effective, the design must be carefully considered. Here are four key tips to help you create a banner that stands out and clearly communicates your message.
1. Focus on Your Key Message
Your banner should convey your core message clearly and quickly. Too much information can dilute its impact, making it difficult for people to grasp what you're communicating.
Include only the most essential details, such as your key message, contact information, or event date. In some cases, the logo is the primary message, so it's perfectly fine to have a banner with just your logo and nothing else. While it's tempting to maximize your space, remember you can always use other channels—like social media, blog posts, or flyers—to share additional details.
2. Use High-Quality Images and Graphics
The visuals on your banner are just as crucial as the text. Low-quality images can make your banner look unprofessional and weaken your message. Always use sharp, high-resolution images (300dpi or higher). And please—don’t send your designer images in a Word document. For perspective, a roll-up banner is 200cm x 85cm. The image in that Word document is usually no bigger than a business card, and when stretched, it’s bound to look pixelated on the banner.
If you don’t have high-quality photos, no need to worry! Ask your designer to find good images on free stock sites like Unsplash or Freepik, or, if your budget allows, purchase premium images. You can also explore AI platforms that generate unique, realistic images.
3. Include a Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)
Whether you're a business showcasing a service, a non-profit raising awareness, or an organization sharing vital information, your banner can be a powerful tool to inspire action. A well-crafted call-to-action (CTA) serves as a guide, showing viewers the next step. Given a banner's size, consider using a large QR code to direct your audience to detailed information, creating an easy bridge between your physical display and digital content.
4. Keep Space in Mind
A clean, uncluttered design enhances the impact of your message. A skilled designer knows how to effectively use negative space, or whitespace, to elevate the overall look. As a client, resist the urge to have the designer fill empty spaces, as this can undermine the design's effectiveness.
Remember, less is more. Mastering the use of white space in design is an art that, when executed well, significantly enhances the final product.
