posters, signs and displays
Not quite the same item, but with the same intent--to inform the general public about something in a "big" way. These products have and extra "dimension" to consider in design--use and placement. Display panels are typically for a temporary installation such as a trade show, while signs are often for permanent outdoor installations, and the end use and process to create these materials needs to be taken into consideration from the very beginning of the design process.
I have these materials organized according to customer, and they are not to scale (sorry, little icons are not clickable--yet!):
