Warm-Up

What is a billboard?  Where do you find them?  Why do they have them?

Discuss with an elbow partner...

What does it take to make a great Billboard?

Creating a billboard can be a lot of fun.  But you have to keep a few things in mind.  Below is a short list of things you will want to remember when designing a billboard for your business.

• People are probably driving 55mph or faster as they view your billboard.

• Be brief/short with your message

• Do NOT write a novel, keep it simple

• Be catchy and creative. Humor can sometimes work well.

• Images and colors always work well if used properly

• Usually directs someone to your place of business 

  • "Take a right at Exit 14, 1/2 mile down the road."

Some examples

Assignment: Create a Billboard for Your Business!

Your business is now advertising using Billboards to get the word out about your product!

Think about the examples you just saw...

Your assignment is create a Billboard for your business. Your Billboard should include CREATIVITY, and be short, sweet, and to the point.

This should be completed in Adobe Photoshop, and you should set-up your document using the following dimensions: 8" wide and 4" tall.

Keep in mind people are moving FAST as they pass your Billboard. Don't get too detailed. Get their attention without boring them with too many details.

Turn a copy of your Billboard Design into Google Classroom when you complete them. The file should be in .PNG format please. Be sure to check spelling, grammar, and capitalization. Errors in your work are unacceptable.
