Summary

A wallscape billboard divided into two equal halves, one carrying a three-line pink headline on flat orange, the other a quiet cropped portrait of someone reading.

Visual description

The billboard covers the flank of a low brick building, seen across a street with older masonry blocks on either side and a lighting rig hung from the top edge. The left half is flat orange with the small Indigo logo in pale pink at the top left and the headline "Open a new chapter." set centred over three lines: the first two lines in an upright rounded sans, the final word "chapter." in a matching italic that gives the sentence its only inflection. The right half is a photograph on a pale grey ground of a young man with dark curly hair looking down at an open book, cropped so the book runs off the bottom edge and the top of his head sits just under the billboard's upper rail. Type and image are the same height, and the vertical seam between them lands dead centre. The vinyl shows soft creases and the whole surface is in flat daylight with blue sky and buildings framing it.

Key takeaway

A hard fifty-fifty split lets a single sentence and a single face each get a full panel, so the board reads at speed without either element being shrunk. Switching only the last word to italic is enough emphasis to carry a whole headline.

Reuse notes

A dependable layout for large-format out-of-home where the message is one sentence and the imagery is a person rather than a product. It depends on a portrait that stays calm when blown up, and on the type panel colour being loud enough to hold its half. On smaller formats the split will crowd; move to stacked instead.
