GUIDELINES FOR LED BOARD ADVERTISEMENT POSTING

GUIDELINES FOR LED BOARD ADVERTISEMENT POSTING


I. Creating a LED Ad

VIDEO
a.      File Extension: .wmv (Windows Media Player file)
b.      Dimensions: 480px (w) x 384 px (h)
c.      Resolution: 150 dpi
d.      Duration: EXACTLY 15 seconds

PHOTO
a.      File Extension: .jpg, .tiff, .png
b.      Dimensions: 480px (w) x 384 (h)
c.      Resolution: at least 200 dpi


1.     TRANSITIONS
-        Please refrain from using excessive transitional effects like swizels, spirals, blinds, zooms, etc. Keep it simple.
-        Make sure that the transition from slide to slide is not too slow or too fast, 3 seconds per slide at the minimum. Total of 5 slides per 15-seconder spot.

2.     COLORS
-        Do not use plain WHITE or any excessively bright background. Bright colors can affect the visibility of drivers and passers-by, especially at night.
-        Make your text highly readable by using solid colors that stand out from the background picture.

3.     FONTS
-        Use BIG, BOLD letters for your text, occupying preferably 1/4 to 1/3 of the LED screen.
-        Avoid scripts and excessively decorative fonts
-        Sans serif fonts such as Arial, Impact, and Tahoma are more readable
-        Reduce your text content to basic details of your event/ announcements:
                        Name of Event, Date, Time, Place,
                        Name of Speakers
                        Kind of Activity
                        Name of Ateneo Unit/Organization.
-        If your LED ad is text-heavy, make sure you distribute the text into separate frames so as not to compromise the size of the text.

4.     DURATION
-        All ads should be EXACTLY 15 seconds; not more, not less

5.     WORDS
-       Use simple and concise words --- 6 words or less is ideal per frame.
-       LED billboards are for announcements, not for direct response. Please limit your phone numbers and websites to one.

6.     VISUALS
-       Make sure your LED material is interesting, will get you noticed, and not be a distraction to commuters and pedestrians.
