All the hard stuff is finished. You have the hardware and the software ready for action. All that’s left now is the actual appearance of your kiosk.

Colours and shapes speak volumes to busy potential customers as they scurry around your kiosk perimeters. You will want something loud and original enough to catch everyone’s attention while broadcasting your logo and company name for simplistic use and easy to access capabilities. Let’s explore a few ways to get your point across, loud and clear.
 
1) Be Bold
 
Use colour schemes that will stand out boldly and dramatically when placed against your chosen location’s backdrop. Go for your company’s or local team’s colors. Metallic or glittery colors often draw the most attention.
 
2) Shapes Sell
 
Try using an overlay with an edge. Depending on your location, you could aim for a retro/hipster feel or something classic and elegant to blend in with a restored downtown setting.
 
3) Lucid Letters
 
When designing what your kiosk will say on the outside, be loud. Use a colour that stands out boldly against the backdrop. Try a font that is clear and eye catching so that it can be seen from a distance.
 
4) The Right Paint
 
Choosing the right type of paint can steer the direction of the overall appearance of your kiosk. The hottest paint technique right now is powder coating. This paint is much more durable and long-lasting than older methods. You can get as creative as your heart desires while developing the colour scheme.
 
5) Light Bright
 
Anything with bright flashing lights will attract customers like moths to a flame. Try using colours that flatter the sweet powder coating of your kiosk.
 
6) Play Dress Up
 
If you really want to draw some attention, be creative. If your kiosk is outside a petrol station, try dressing up your paint job to resemble an old fashioned phone booth. If the kiosk is in the food court at the zoo, go for zebra colouring.
 
7) Green It Up
 
Advertise on your panelling that your kiosk is green and tree-friendly. Try putting your own version of the recycle symbol on the kiosk in an overlay to draw attention. Use eco-friendly paints and reduce your carbon footprint as much as possible by reducing energy and using solar power.
 
8) Go 3D
 
Make your kiosk really stand out from the other giant boxes by making it 3D. Using a 3D sign will catch the eye more than a painted-on symbol or name. Add real brilliance to it by throwing in a light.
 
9) Curves Sell
 
Go a step beyond loud colors and flashing lights with a curved, futuristic look. Curves are more appealing to the consumer’s eye than sharp straight edges. The sleeker it looks, the cooler it will seem.
 
10) Classy Keyboards
 
Make your keyboard easy to use and read, with large letters and buttons that will be simple for any hand to use. Try lighting the background to the keyboard for efficient low light use.
