Why It's Important To Go Minimalist With Trailer Graphics

By Bob Oliver


When it comes to the most modern designs in business, it's clear that they have simpler approaches to them. They aren't extremely intricate and what this means is that they are easier for the human eye to digest. These cleaner appearances are ones that can be connected to a particular method known as minimalism. A theory like this can work in various forms of marketing, including those in out-of-home advertising along the lines of trailer graphics.

Minimalism, for those who do not know, is made for the purpose of directing attention to a message. To say that this can come across as challenging would be an understatement, especially when you consider that too many visuals at once can detract from the message itself. This should not be the case, which is why it's important for trailer graphics, in this day and age, to be crafted with a specific message in this place. Companies the likes of JMR Graphics will be hard-pressed to argue.

One of the many perks I see in minimalism, as it relates to trailer wraps, is the level of focus seen on logos. For example, let's say that a business wanted to redesign its own logo but may be concerned about whether or not their audience will be able to recognize it. Fortunately, these minimalist wraps are able to draw attention to them, since there isn't too much else being used in regards to visuals. Logos help to perpetuate branding and these wraps emphasize them that much more.

Of course, one can argue that this can detract your message if it's done poorly. Minimalism does not make use of many visuals, which can be seen as something of a negative for those who pride themselves on being designers. When they have very little to work with, how exactly are they supposed to help clients in the long run? Minimalism has its own approach and only with experience will this method be perfected by the best designers.

Hopefully you can see why many companies have taken it upon themselves to craft simpler logos. To say the least, they are easier to take in and the fact that various businesses have taken this approach speaks volumes about how trendy it is. It's not like these logos are tough to differentiate, from one business to the next, and they can be integrated into various trailer wraps. For out-of-home marketing efforts in the long term, minimalism has its advantages.
