When designing a campaign for all 12 screens – remember this is only available during intersession and the Summer – you need to consider screen “burn-in”. Posters are displayed on a 24-hr rotation and solid areas of colors shared by all posters have the potential to burn the screen.
Layouts should rotate colors, type and any solid color blocks
