Digital Signage Layout & Display Guide
The examples below show how different landscape, portrait and multi-grid layouts can be used across the digital signage products CustomLink offers.
Some examples may use Canva templates and are shown for demonstration only. Customers can view more template options directly at canva.com.
These examples are intended as a practical starting point only. They are not presented as original CustomLink graphic designs or as a replacement for professional branding or graphic design services.
Landscape / Horizontal 1-Grid Layout
A 1-grid layout uses the full screen as one display area. This is suitable for standard 16:9 landscape banners, videos, menus, promotions, service displays, announcements, and rotating slideshow content.
Landscape displays can also be divided into multiple grid sections where required. In a multi-grid layout, each section can behave like a separate display area, allowing different images, videos, banners, menus, promotions, notices, or slideshows to play independently on the same screen.
See the Portrait / Vertical Multi-Grid Layout section below for examples of multi-grid layouts. Similar layout concepts can also be applied to landscape displays.
Portrait / Vertical 1-Grid Layout
A portrait 1-grid layout uses the full vertical screen as one display area. This is suitable for full-screen portrait designs, welcome screens, product promotions, service lists, price lists, menu boards, announcements, and high-impact advertising near entrances or walkways.
Portrait / Vertical Multi-Grid Layout
A multi-grid layout allows one portrait screen to be divided into multiple sections, either vertically, horizontally, or both.
Each grid section can behave like its own display area. This means each section can show different content independently, such as a fixed banner, rotating slideshow, video, menu, promotion, notice, logo, or business information.
This is useful for floor-standing signage and LED poster displays where businesses want to show several types of information on one vertical screen at the same time.
For example, one portrait screen could show a promotional banner at the top, a video or image section in the middle, a menu or service list below, and a logo or contact information section near the bottom.
