Which Way Round – Orientation of Outdoor Digital Signage
The screens used for outdoor digital signage, housed in plasma/LCD enclosures, are pretty much the same devices used for home TV viewing. While they are commonly commercial grade, this just makes them slightly more proficient at being left on for 24 hour periods.
While the devices may be the same, the way they are used is not. At home, modern widescreen TVs allow films to be viewed without the annoying borders, and most TV shows are now shot in this widescreen format too.
With digital signage, screens can be placed both horizontally, the standard method of home TV's, also known as landscape, and vertically – known as portrait.
For Dooh projects (Digital out of home) both these methods can be used for differing effects, especially with outdoor digital signage. But how do you decide which orientation is the best method.
There are two aspects that will determine which orientation is best for your project:
- The location of the sign, including its position and height
- The type of content that is being displayed
Portrait – is by far the most common orientation for digital signage and most of the indoor signs such as the digital posters we see around shopping malls and retail parks usually take this format.
This type of orientation is perfect for digital advertising as it is similar to the way static posters are designed and is more suited for placing images of people, a common content subject of advertisers. For this reason portrait screens are more noticeable and engaging.
Landscape screens are more commonly used for information as they are less eye-catching and noticeable. However, landscapes are also good for displaying large quantities of content, and because of this, most information screens are positioned in landscape mode. The screens seen in railway stations and other transport hubs are most commonly in landscape mode.

Long Way Round $12.99 It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor - actor and self-confessed bike nut - noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called Charley Boorman, his best friend, fellow actor and bike enthusiast. 'Charley,' he said. 'I think you ought to come over for dinner...' From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride over 20,000 miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream. |
