While reflecting on design during a drive into the office I could not help but notice on my trip into Manhattan the vast array of billboards I came across. Some were digital, some were simple text messages on white board, some had a 3 dimensional designs associated with them.

With that I decided to look on-line for what might be the most eye catching and well designed billboards that get their message across. I thought the following ones did a great job. I am constantly amazed at the creativity and thought that goes into the design of these billboards.
Design is, indeed, everywhere

Great billboard choices - those are some good examples of the fun things that can be done in advertising. Billboards (and bus boards) are very expensive and a lot of time, I think companies waste their money by filling the billboard up with too much information. I believe the rule is to keep billboards to seven words or less and I think this is a good rule.
ReplyDeleteI love the battery bus board - what a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I liked the battery one also. I recently came across another billboard that had transparency similar to the Sony PSP. While it looked great in the daytime it was completely unreadable in the evening. I guess they just didn’t think it through
