Digital Signage Design
digital signage menu boards are ideal for restaurants, takeaways, cafes and fast service food generally.
The problem faced by food retailers is that menu boards – menu options and prices – need to be constantly updated and they need to be attractive and easy to understand.

Viewing Distance
Choose the right screen
How far away will your screen be viewed from? For the best viewing experience, select a properly sized screen for that distance.
Viewing Angle
The human eye is limited to an active vision span of just 20°.
Take this into consideration when placing your screens.
Commercial vs Consumer LCD Display
What is the intended use for your screen? Consumer-grade displays are designed for moderate
use (6-8 hrs per day). Commercial-grade displays allow for long, continuous periods of playtime.

environments

(both on and off)
• Not designed for portrait mode

Commercial-grade Screens

DVI, YPbPr)

replacements, etc.)
Font Size
The legibility of your text is imperative. Your text size should be
optimized for the distance viewers will see your screen from.
Typography
Fonts often play a role in the legibility of your content.
Opt for sans-serif fonts for a cleaner and easier-to-read screen.
