Designing Your Own Political Yard Signs

Designing political yard signs, whether for personal use or for a full electoral campaign, is straightforward and easy. With Signs.com, you can use templates, upload a print-ready file, or create a design from scratch. Below are some tips in creating your political yard sign.

Customize – Choose the size and shape of you campaign signs. The standard size is 18” x 24” but you can opt for smaller or larger displays depending on your plan. Large signs are good for intersections and high-traffic areas while small yard signs work well in large numbers. You can also use different shapes to stand out and attract attention. You can use round signs that put the spotlight on a candidate's name or custom cutouts for a display that truly stands out.

Color – Go bold and play around with contrast. You want your signs to immediately grab attention while still being legible. A combination of red, white, and blue colors is classic, but don’t be afraid to mix it up. Remember that most of the other candidates will also be using those color palettes. Strive to stand out – in a good way.

Legibility – This is perhaps the most important tip for campaign yard signs. Every line of text has to be legible, clear, and easy to understand. As far as politics are concerned, there is no room for miscommunication. You can forego every other design element and just place your candidate’s name on the sign and people will understand what it’s for. Spell out your message in big bold letters to ensure that the message sticks.

Minimalism – Related to the point about legibility, keep the yard sign design as simple as possible. Negative space works in your favor. If you need to add graphics such as a portrait of the candidate, make sure that the focal point of the design is the name of the candidate or the campaign slogan.
