Change up the format completely. If you were using a rigid template before, lose it and go more free form.

If you were free form, go to a rigid template.

I guess I'm trying to say to change it up.
I do change most of the content every week a few graphics have been up for a while (i think their is only 2 that have been up for a long time)

We've had our digital signage system for over 3 years. All our content is video designed in After Effects. Some things I've found that get attention:
-Lighter colors draw more attention than darker colors
-Motion draws more attention than static
-Good content i.e something humorous or entertaining draws more attention.
I would like do some video content time is a issue right now
Also a computer shortage that will be fixed in early 08 as i have budgeted for a dedicated video editing system so that shold solve a lot of those problems.
