Capturing the attention of attendees at a hectic trade show venue can pose quite a challenge.
A trade show booth or other marketing exhibit won’t provide the promotional
results you’re hoping for if it doesn’t stand out on a crowded event floor. If
you’re relying on an uninspired generic display to attract attention to what
you have to offer, you’re sure to end up disappointed. The good news is that APG Exhibits can help you get the most out of every event with our award-winning exhibit graphic design service. With more than 100 years of combined

A Guide to Graphic Design for Trade Show Exhibits and Displays
Trade shows are a valuable tool to generate
leads and brand awareness. On average, companies set aside around 32% of their
marketing
budget to cover such events. If you’re going to spend money not only paying for exhibit booth
space but also on the elements you’ll need for an eye-catching booth, you’ll
want to create something that will capture the attention of event attendees.
Image Clarity
For the best possible clarity, images should be approximately 100-120 Pixels per inch (PPI). If you cannot recreate the graphic in that resolution, it might
be best to hire a redesign specifically for your trade show presentations. It
would be better to have an image very close to the original than to present a
fuzzy, unprofessional looking graphic to potential customers.
Text on Images
Placing text on top of a photo or background
image can make the text difficult to read. With so many competing booths at a
trade show, most people won’t bother deciphering it. They will just move on to
another display. Make sure you either use a solid background behind text or
that you make the image transparent enough for the text to pop.
Company Style Guidelines
Does your company have a style guideline that
lists the typical fonts and styles used in company literature? It is best to
stick to this as closely as possible across all marketing mediums, even trade
shows. If your company lists Tahoma as the preferred font, then use Tahoma or a
similar font for trade show materials.
As a rule of thumb,print products look best with
serif fonts, and digital mediums look best with sans-serif fonts. This is part
of your company’s overall branding efforts and will pay off when your customer
base readily recognized your company’s overall look.
Visibility From Different Distances
Another thing to consider is whether your trade
show booth materials are visible at different levels. For example, at 100 feet
away, is your booth visible? This is the first look the crowd will get at your
booth, and it should draw people in from that distance. Think about placing
banners high and how to hook attendees into visiting.
What about at
25 feet away? How can you grab their attention? Ideas include visually dynamic
video that highlights your product.
Consider visibility once someone stops at your
booth. Where is the person’s gaze drawn? Is it visually enticing? What
information does it provide? These
different distances are called tiered content levels
Negative Space
Everything from the size of font you use to the
color of text and background can draw people in. You should also pay attention
to how much negative space is around text. Negative space can put the spotlight
where you want it, such as on the text.
You need a strong balance between content and
negative space. Experienced designers can figure out this balance so your
graphics are visually pleasing to the masses. Too little negative space and
your graphics will be busy and distracting. Too much negative space and your
point might be lost in all the background noise.
Creating beautiful images for an exhibition
will help you get the most attention possible and help the cost of the trade
show booth pay for itself. With a little attention to detail, you’ll have some
amazing displays you can use over and over again to entice new leads to become
lifelong customers.
