Design Tips

You want your banner to be visually striking and easy to read. Below are some tips to help you maximize the impact of your signage.

  • To ensure your message is legible from a distance, add 1” of text height for every 10’ of viewable distance. So, if your "Grand Opening" sign needs to be read by passersby on a road 60’ away, select letters that are at least 6” tall
  • Consider shortening your message and increasing text size if drivers are traveling at a high rate of speed
  • When selecting colors for your banner text and background, you can increase readability by choosing a high-contrast combination; like black text on color, or color text on white

Banners, Signage And Posters Designed At Alphagraphics Arlington And Alexandria, VA

Banners are one of the most cost-effective ways of generating tens of thousands of visual impressions daily or more! A high-impact custom banner designed by AlphaGraphics of Alexandria and Arlington can help make your event a huge success.

By their very nature, banners are large and designed to be viewed from a long distance. They’re perfect for places that experience high foot or vehicle traffic and are durable enough to stand up to anything mother nature can throw at them.

You can use them to not only promote your events, but also for Farmer’s Markets, fundraisers, birthdays, anniversaries, sporting events, trade shows, and anywhere you need to get a message out to a large group of people.

When most people think of a traditional banner, they think of a rectangle where the long end is horizontal. Our large-format printers can create banners that are taller than they are wider—even up to 50’ in height! These work great for events where a speaker is on stage, and you need to dress up the area for the event.

We use state-of-the-art digital printers, inks, and materials to create a durable banner that will last a long time. If you’re planning on installing one in an area that is susceptible to high winds, we can create your banner out of a mesh material that has thousands of tiny little holes that will prevent it from fluttering about. Our weather and UV-resistant inks mean your banner will be protected from the harsh rays of the sun.

You can also add your social media or contact information to the banner. Personalized URLs and QR Codes will make it easy for participants and viewers to snap a picture with their cell phone and be taken to a website or landing page of your choice.

Banners are also highly versatile when it comes to installation—you can mount them almost anywhere. String or wire will help keep them attached securely, or you can use a banner stand to keep it upright.

If you need a banner but are unsure as to how to go about designing one, the expert designers at AlphaGraphics of Alexandria and Arlington can help. They’ll sit down with you and ask you a few questions, which will allow them to create the perfect design along with the ideal message.

Whatever you are looking for in creating your banners and signage, we can help you design a banner that will inspire. AlphaGraphics’ graphic design team consists of experienced professionals who are available to help you design the banner you envisioned.

Chance for Life is an Alexandria, Virginia 501(c)(3) charity that’s dedicated to fighting to put an end to pediatric cancer. They contacted AlphaGraphics of Alexandria and Arlington to create various printed materials for an upcoming annual fundraising event.

We were tasked with creating the signage along with 115 full-color posters to promote the Silent Auction, and various services performed at the event such as shave-and-a-trim, massages, whiskey, and tequila tasting.

We had a huge job ahead of us, which left no room for error. Because this event is so important, we had to have everything done on a very short time schedule—and have 100% accuracy. There was no margin for error. Several different participating restaurants required lunch, dinner, and directional signage.
