How many pictures a board holds before it stops reading in one glance.
The size each layout is printed at, and the resolution it needs to stay sharp.
The wall it suits and the height that keeps it in your daily line of sight.
How many lines of text, and how large, to stay legible at arm's length.
When a board stops matching and needs rebuilding, said up front.
Enough to read in one glance: roughly 8 to 15 on an A2 board, fewer if you add text. Past that the eye stops landing anywhere and the board turns into wallpaper.
Somewhere you pass daily at eye level — beside a door, over a desk, opposite the bed. Out of sight is the single most common reason a board stops working.
Both, for different jobs. The printed one holds the year and lives on a wall; the phone wallpaper carries three or four things you want in front of you every day.
Rebuild that section rather than keep a board you have stopped believing. A board is meant to be remade mid-year, not survived.
Every layout names the sections, the image count and the print size, so the printed board reads from across the room.
