BILLBOARD Billboard adverts need clear visual impact. The Brand Mark is dominant on a layout that maximizes the format. A simple qualification for the success of the layout is ‘immediate identification’. A multitude of graphics also add to the visual impact, thus another ‘impact’ tip would be to apply on several applications as the budget would permit. Size and format is determined by availability.
