Canva is already part of many companies’ everyday toolkit. It allows you to quickly create impressive images, presentations, social media posts, prints, and now also digital signage content directly in MediaCloud. Although Canva is an easy and versatile tool, info display communication has slightly different rules than social media or PowerPoint presentations. What works on Instagram may not work on a 55-inch screen in the office lobby. <\/p>\n\n

The attention span of the audience on digital screens is short. Often, the content only catches the eye of a passerby for a few seconds, for example when walking past a restaurant counter or glancing at a dressing room wall. On the other hand, some screens, such as lobbies, waiting rooms or staff areas, are designed for longer viewing, allowing for a more diverse content. <\/p>\n\n

But regardless of the use of the screens, one thing is certain: The content of the digital signage displays must be clear, visually bright and immediately understandable.<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n

In this blog, we’ll go over five of the most common mistakes to avoid when creating digital signage content with Canva.<\/p>\n\n

Stumbling block 1 \u2013 Too much text<\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

It’s easy to write a lot on Canvas. Too much. And when there’s a lot of text, the same thing always happens: the text on the digital screen remains unreadable. <\/p>\n\n

On a digital screen, the message must be readable in 3\u20135 seconds. If the content looks like an essay, the viewer will not stop and the message will not get through. So, condense your message to one main point and use a large, clear font. A concise title and one in-depth supporting sentence almost always work better than a fully written outline. <\/p>\n\n
