The urgency of advertising emerged with the beginning of the industrial revolution when large quantities of goods flowed and had to be promoted and introduced to consumers by advertising. External advertisements, newspaper advertisements, wall posters, train advertisements, and public transport appeared.

By the beginning of 1820, street propaganda had increased, hence tax fees had risen, and competition for poster space had increased, causing advertisers to seek new ideas and ways to attract passers’ attention.

At the beginning of the 1960s, the advertising industry began to move in a new direction, as a simple, straightforward ad was no longer enough to attract consumers' attention, so the search for the best talent and new creative ideas began.

Advertising has become an art in itself, with advertising companies thoroughly studying the product, designing their logo and brand, and preparing an advertising campaign to promote it. In TV or radio advertising, the designer may have more expressive space in the use of image, sound, motion, and color to attract consumer attention, while in outdoor advertising it is a real challenge for the advertising designer as the viewer is mobile, often urgent, so the idea must be abbreviated and clearly presented to achieve the desired effect.

One of the most prominent methods used in external advertising is a billboard (billboards) is a huge billboard set up at traffic lights and stop places on public roads and displays either attractive images or distinctive advertising messages capable of attracting attention in a particular direction, The billboard is characterized by its height in place, being clear and visible, its availability everywhere and its presence at all times, thus delivering the message to the largest number of customers and target audiences making this an essential force. Which makes outdoor advertising is more efficient and effective than other types of advertising.
