How To Design A Creative Graduation Banner

Blog 3min Read
Design a Graduation Banner
One of the simplest ways to recognize a graduate is with a graduation banner displayed on graduation day at a ceremony or party. And, while well disigned banners are reflective of the time and effort put into the recognition, you may be looking for a more polished and professional look. After the celebration, graduation banners are the perfect addition to a class time capsule or a class charity auction, or a graduate-s box of memorabilia. Other banners and signs perfect for students are college banners, college flags and banners, Greek banners, and any cool banners or cute banners that would be appreciated in a dorm room. This article gives you few tips to create a graduation banner that will help you recognize the achievement realized by the special grad in your life.


Effective Color Combinations

Color schemes are as important to an effective banner as the message itself. Color combinations between the foreground. Good contrast makes the lettering and graphics stand out ensuring that your banner will grab the attention of the reader. Regardless of the color scheme you choose ensure that the contrast is drastic enough to ensure that your banner stands out to the viewer in a format that can be easily read.


Margins and White Space

Margin widths are usually the most abused spaces on a banner. A general rule of thumb is to have the top and bottom margin be 10% of the height, and right and left margins be at least as wide as one of the banner’s main font character width. Avoid filling the empty spaces of the banner with graphics. White space helps keep the viewer’s eyes concentrated on the text.


Graphics

School Logos, photographs and other images can effectively be used to reflect your spirit, but should not overpower the intended message. To enhance your thoughts and ideas for designing an effective ad banner, we suggest you to look at professional sign company graduation banner template. Signazon.com has lot of professional designed templates. Notice the ones that stand out effectively convey their intended message.


Fonts

Avoid using more than two type styles. The more font the more difficult for people to read. Use Fonts like Helvetica, Futura and Arial are more widely used because of their clarity at a distance. Fonts such as these should be used for the main premise of the banner. Secondary messages could incorporate a font similar to Goudy, Benguiat or Times giving your banner enough contrast in fonts to be interesting, yet at the same time be clear enough to be easily read. Refrain from using fonts such as Old English style text, script fonts or Engraved fonts if your intended audience could be at a distance. You could consider more complex fonts such as the later, if your audience is at a short distance such as a trade show or booth environment, but we suggest to not use harder to read fonts so that you can achieve success with both demographics. A misconception of Graduation banner design is to use upper case fonts to grab attention. At times upper case lettering can be used for one word or a line of text for emphasis, but is should be stated that it takes the human eye longer to read and process upper case writing opposed to lower case.
