We’re getting close to Halloween, and you need a costume. Not to worry—your helpful Screenfeed team is here to help. Why not marry two great things; digital signage content (obviously) and a super fun Halloween costume?!
Hello! I’m Alyssa, Associate Creative Director here at Screenfeed and your Personal-Digital-Signage-Halloween-Costume-Stylist. Trust me; it’s a thing. 😉
Before we get into it, note that you’ll see each costume is graded by an ‘eyeball score.’ The more eyeballs—the better.
Haphazardly stitched together, she’s the scariest of them all. She strikes fear in viewers because there is just too much to look at. Viewers either look away as fast as possible or are so overwhelmed by competing messages and info.
But fear not! Screenfeed can help you craft a strategy that’s easy on the eyes and won’t overwhelm your viewers. This strategy can be in the form of intentional placement of feeds and the definition of a strong hierarchy of information.
“I’m Powerpoint...”
Lazy. Last-minute. Lame. Yeah, you have a costume, it checks the box, maybe it’s even slightly clever, but it’s forgettable and isn’t engaging to anyone. Although Powerpoint can work for small applications, the templates are tired and lack the needed strategy to truly grab your viewers. Take your time, invest in quality digital signage content—err, costume.
Walking around all night in this beast of a costume won’t be easy, but it’s a clever one nonetheless. Putting on the fake smile of a stock photo will keep everyone laughing.
Great as a conversation starter, not so great as a supporting element. As a costume, this one works, but as a staple in digital signage content? Not so much. Selected carefully, stock assets can be quick, effective, and budget-friendly.
Still, all too often, we’re left with cheesy, contrived images functioning as mere placeholders within your content.

Arguably the most comfortable of our costume options, "Doris" might have been something in her day, but she’s not grabbing eyes anymore. A house dress, wig, and slippers are easy to throw on, making this costume an effortless go-to.
There’s something to be said for experience and longevity, but not when you’re looking at digital signage content. Keeping content looking fresh will keep heads turning, and your audience engaged.
The star, the beauty. All eyes on her. Grab a black dress, some gloves, and pearls if ya got ‘em! You can throw this is a super-quick costume together using pieces you likely already have (and maybe a little Prime Shipping from Amazon).
She’s the type of content you want on your screen. Well designed, fresh, easily updated, and meticulously arranged.
