THE CHALLENGE

Designing for digital signage is harder than IT should be

You design in Canva or PowerPoint. Then you export. Then you upload. Then you fix what broke.

  • Layouts don't match the screen size

  • Text shifts between portrait and landscape

  • Multi-zone designs require hacks

  • Simple edits turn into file management

  • Updates aren't reflected until someone republishes

THE SOLUTION

Design content directly inside your signage system

Design Studio is Fugo's canvas for building structured screen layouts. It lets you control zones, layer content types, and design for real display dimensions inside the platform that publishes your screens.

Frequently asked questions

Is design studio included in all Fugo plans?

Yes. The Design Studio is included in all three Fugo pricing plans.

You can create layouts, use templates, add apps and dashboards, and publish to screens regardless of which plan you're on. Some advanced controls — like custom canvas dimensions for video walls — may depend on plan level, but the editor itself is available to all users.

Is design studio like canva or powerPoint?

It feels similar. If you've used Canva or PowerPoint, you'll recognize the drag-and-drop canvas, text tools, shapes, and layout controls.

The difference is that the Design Studio works with live content. You can embed apps, dashboards, widgets, and other dynamic elements — not just static images and text.

That means your screen can update automatically instead of relying on exported files.

How do I get my content onto a TV screen?

After you create a layout in the Design Studio, you publish it to a screen, playlist, or channel inside Fugo.

Once assigned, the design appears on your connected display. If you edit the layout later, the updates reflect on screen without exporting a new file or manually replacing content.

Can I create and save company templates?

Yes.

You can start with Fugo's template library or build your own layouts from scratch, then save them as company templates. These templates can be shared across workspaces in your account so teams can reuse approved slide designs.

You can also lock specific elements — like logos, backgrounds, or brand assets — so they remain consistent while other parts of the layout stay editable.

Can I design for different screen sizes or video walls?

Yes.

Fugo's Design Studio lets you set canvas orientation and resolution to match your screen. You can design for standard landscape or portrait displays, or define custom dimensions for LED displays and video wall configurations.

This helps prevent layouts from shifting or stretching across different screen types.

Can I mix dashboards, media, and text in the same layout?

Yes.

You can combine images, video, text, shapes, dashboards, and apps on a single canvas. You can crop dashboards to show specific metrics, layer elements on top of each other, and organize content into zones so different areas of the screen rotate independently.

This makes it possible to build structured, multi-region displays instead of relying on full-screen static slides.

How do I design digital signage for TV screens?

The key difference between regular graphic design and digital signage design is screen size and viewing distance.

Fugo's Design Studio lets you set the canvas to match your actual TV resolution, choose landscape or portrait orientation, and preview how content will appear on large displays. This helps prevent text from looking too small or layouts from stretching across the screen.

What's the best way to format content for large TV screens?

Content for TV screens should be simple, readable from a distance, and structured clearly.

With the Design Studio, you can create zones, control layout spacing, crop dashboards to focus on key metrics, and layer text over visuals. This makes it easier to build layouts that work on large displays instead of copying desktop designs directly onto a screen.

How do I display dashboards on a TV screen?

You can add dashboards directly into Design Studio from your saved dashboard library.

Once added, you can resize and crop them to show specific charts or metrics. After publishing the layout to your screen, the dashboard displays on the TV as part of your overall design — alongside text, branding, or other content.

Can I create interactive digital signage?

Yes.

If you're using a touch-enabled display or tablet, you can create simple touch flows inside Design Studio. Any element on your slide can be made touchable, allowing viewers to navigate between screens such as directories, product listings, or internal information portals.

Can I split a TV screen into multiple sections?

Yes.

Fugo's Design Studio allows you to create multi-zone layouts. You can divide the screen into different areas and control what appears in each one. Each zone can contain its own content or even its own rotating carousel.

This is useful for combining dashboards, announcements, live feeds, and branding on a single display.

Do I need design experience to use design studio?

Nope!

Fugo's Design Studio uses a drag-and-drop canvas similar to tools like Canva or PowerPoint. You can start with a template or build from scratch, then adjust text, colors, media, and layout without advanced design skills.

The difference is that your designs are built specifically for digital signage screens, not for print or social media.
