During long road trips, what is your favorite thing to do? Personally, I love playing the alphabet game. I think the best way to get all of your letters is by looking at billboards along the road. Do those billboards ever catch your eye for a little longer than most?
Unfortunately, I was not able to go out to take pictures of different billboards around my town as I am sick in bed at the moment, but here are a couple of my favorite billboards that are so pleasing to the eye.
This Dr.Pepper billboard by Lamar is just absolutely stunning. The powerful reds that allow the white lettering to pop is such a pleasing contrast on this ad. I may be a bit biased as Dr.Pepper is my go to drink no matter what time of day, but the balance throughout the billboard is a wonderful example of a near perfect billboard ad. The message can be easily read as people are going down the road quickly trying to get to their destination. The different elements throughout this billboard help unify everything to become one big art piece.
This billboard made by Luis F. Cavalcanti is made from pure kindness and trying to uplift people during dark times. We all know how difficult the last two years have been for everyone and while times are starting to become better, it will be a time that we will never forget. These types of billboards have become more common throughout the United States as people are just wanting to make others feel good. The gorgeous colors that compliment well, while also getting a clear and concise message across are working together in a great way. It can easily be read and the balance of space is used in an effective and efficient way. The rhythm between the lightning strikes throughout the billboard allow for a happy and energetic feeling.
As you will see in almost all of my post, I like to stay positive. I find that things are just as easily understood when you are looking at the positives more than the negatives. I love being able to see all of these different ads and finding my personal favorite parts of them rather than my least favorite.
