A billboard is simply a large advertisement board, usually placed in a large city or along a busy road or highway. Billboard space is rented out to companies who want to advertise their products, but the creativity is left up to them. Whether the billboard is in New York City's Time Square or your elementary school classroom, decorating your billboard with flair and style is important if you want to draw any amount of attention to your message.
Instructions
1. Draw up a mock-up of your billboard on a piece of paper. You want to have a plan before you make any permanent changes to your billboard.
2. Add faces or animals to your billboard. People are attracted to faces and cute animals, and their eyes will linger to read your message or ad pitch. Just make sure there isn't too much text or else they may just stop reading all together.
3. Add sparkle and shine to your billboard. Metallic paints, tin foil, and shiny dust can all be used to capture the attention of those who see your message. This works especially well outdoors when the sun is shining. You can decorate the outer border of the billboard or go around the edges of your text with a metallic paint that will light up when the sun hits it.
4. Try adding some three dimensionality to the billboard. You can do this simply by adding shadows to the text in your billboard or you can actually attach objects to the billboard.
