1. Design tips

Banners stands can be displayed in conferences, workshops, and other events. It is important to design them in a way that fulfils the requirements of OCASI or your program.

Text

Simplicity and attention are key elements that can be achieved with typography. The following are some tips:

• Use minimal text
• Make sure the font is large enough to be read from across the room
• Avoid using small text and paragraphs
• Make sure your text will be read left to right, top to bottom (right to left for RTL languages where applicable)
• Do not make your viewers read text at the level or their feet
• Work with a grid and white spaces

Graphics

Photos, background graphics, or icons can be added to your banner stand to focus viewers’ eyes on a section, support your text, or enhance your brand. The following are some basic best practices:

• Make sure your logo is visible (work with vector files)
• If adding photos, make sure you use high quality images (at least 150ppi)
• Background graphics should not interfere with your text
• You can include some important information using icons, for example:
  • your web address
  • social media profiles
  • contact information

Read the photography guidelines to make good usage of your photos and know more details on the types of photos.
