The universal scoreboard design is timeless, but changing the theme of your display each year can give your school a modern, cohesive look.
Here are some ideas to design appealing layouts for RTD (real-time data) for your display.
COLOR
Contrasting colors will help your statistics stand out to the audience. For example, using a dark background with light text is easy to read so the crowd can focus on the game. Showcase your school colors to gain a home-field advantage and rouse school spirit.
READABILITY
A bold sans serif font is the cleanest option for maximum readability when displaying statistics. Adding a border around elements like sponsored content can set ads apart from scores.
GRAPHICS
A design that is clean and well-balanced makes your display look more professional. Add weight to the most important words and stats to make sure they stand out.
CONSISTENCY AND HIERARCHY
A design that is well-balanced and doesn’t incorporate too many fonts or colors will make your display look more professional. Order the statistics by making the most important numbers and words stand out the most.
