Outdoor is a distance problem, not a design problem

The most common mistake in outdoor is treating a hoarding like a large advertisement. It is not. It is read at speed, from an angle, often in poor light, by someone who is doing something else. Whatever survives that is the whole message - usually one idea, one image and a name - and everything else on the board is decoration paid for by the metre.

The second mistake is artwork built for the wrong size. A file laid out at A4 and scaled up produces soft type and banding; a file laid out for the media, at the right resolution, with the right bleed for the frame, does not. We size artwork to the actual media before it is designed, not after.

The third is material. Mumbai weather is unkind to anything printed for a shop window and hung outdoors. Flex, vinyl and the finishing that holds them are chosen for the exposure and the mounting, because a campaign that fades in six weeks was not cheaper.

How it runs

From brief to delivery

    What the campaign has to achieve, where, and by when. A call or a visit - no cost and no obligation.

  2. 2

    Media and sizes confirmed

    Sites and formats confirmed before artwork starts, so the design is built for the media rather than resized into it.

  3. 3

    Creative and proof

    Concepts, then finished artwork at the right resolution for the size, proofed before production.

  4. 4

    Print, finish and mount

    Produced in-house on material chosen for the exposure, delivered ready to install, with photographs of the installed work.

Questions

Common questions

Do you book the media sites as well?

We plan the campaign and can coordinate sites, but be clear with us at the brief whether you want us to handle booking or to produce for sites you have already taken.

What size should the artwork be?

Tell us the media first. We size the artwork to the actual frame before design starts - scaling a small file up afterwards is where soft type and banding come from.

Will it survive the monsoon?

That depends on the material and the mounting, which is why we specify both against the exposure. A campaign that has to fade is a campaign that was quoted on the wrong material.

Is there a minimum for outdoor work?

Not on the creative and campaign side - a single campaign is normal work for us. Production is quoted per campaign.

Can you do a launch across several sites at once?

Yes. Multi-site campaigns are printed as one run so every board carries the same colour, then delivered per site.

Do you handle society and residential branding?

Yes - gate branding, lift and notice-board placements and residential campaign material.
