Contrasting Elements
Create an eye-catching masterpiece by employing contrasting features. Contrast is generated by disparities in elements such as variations in color, size, texture, font, alignment, etc.
Contrast directs people’s gazes to specific parts in a design. Consequently, it is highly recommended to make the most vital part of your message the most contrasting.

- Adding unexpected items
- Including space around elements
When planning a Street Marketing campaign, it is essential to consider the structure your design will be on. For instance, if you are launching a stencil campaign then your design will be on pavement which is gray. If you use gray in your design, then it won’t be too noticeable and might not even be visible at all. Thus, you should utilize colors that contrast with gray if you want your stencil to pop and get spotted.
Text
With Street Marketing, you should aim to communicate your message utilizing the least number of words possible. You could employ graphics, objects and/or symbols to portray your message as appose to text.
It can be extremely tempting to use unique fonts, but it is crucial that the font you use is readable. Especially since people are typically on the go while gazing at Street Marketing campaigns so your message needs to be easily comprehendible.
Of course, this depends on the Street Advertising medium being utilized, but you can build clear and visually engaging copy by…

Colors
Colors insert energy into designs and help bring it to life.
Colors stimulate certain feelings, moods, thoughts, and vibes. For instance, orange fuels feelings of happiness while blue elicits feelings of calmness.
Colors can strongly enhance your design, or it can take away from it. Thus, you should take time choosing your colors and selecting eye-catching color combinations.

Unique Design
Unique designs will help lead to word-of-mouth marketing, social media marketing and viral campaigns.
If it aligns with your campaign goals, aim to have a design that is out of the ordinary. This will lead to people taking photos with it and of it. People can then share it on social media which will increase your campaign reach even more.
Emphasis
Another Street Marketing design tip is to generate emphasis for your most significant campaign information.
