  C.R.A.P. Design Principles, and other Tips for Creating Eye-Catching Banner Graphics 

  Banner displays with eye-catching graphics can be an excellent way to promote your business or organization. Here are a few tips for creating an aesthetically pleasing and bold display to catches your audiences’ eyes:

  • Banner graphics need to be large and strong to make an impact. Hard-to-read fonts, small text, or weak images won’t grab anyone’s attention.
  • C.R.A.P. design principles – the four golden rules of graphic design – Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity.
  • Use the Rule of Thirds – Don’t place your graphic smack-dab in the center of your banner. Create a natural eye-flow by placing key graphics off-center, but not too close to each other.
  • Placing the most important graphical element and message at standing eye level.
  • Create and maintain a consistent look and message to go along with your brand other marketing collateral.
  • Less is more. Keep your message simple. Your banner graphic needs to convey an easy-to-read message at a quick glance from a distance.
  • Make sure your images are placed in a well-lit area. Avoid any direct light that might produce a glare off of a laminated banner.
  • Images that strike an emotional connection will increase the likelihood that your message will relate to that person and stick in his or her mind.
