One of the nice things about most digital signs is that they can use existing photos and graphics. Either upload the digital file, or scan an image and upload it and you’re in business. However, just because a graphic works in a brochure doesn’t mean that it will work in a digital sign. Make sure that the graphics (and any text on the image) are bold enough to be viewed from a distance.

A lot of times people want to take graphics, especially charts with numbers and legends, and convert them to digital sign content. If the text elements are too small, your viewer will lose interest in all of your signage content. It’s better to take a few minutes and adjust the image appropriately for the digital signage application.
