This case study showcases an animated automotive digital display board created in Canva for an automotive service shop specializing in Rhino Linings and NHOU Oil Undercoating.
Instead of relying on printed posters or expensive digital signage software, the client wanted a professional animated display that could run on an existing Smart TV using a USB flash drive. The result is a modern, editable Canva-based display that can be revised, exported as a new MP4 file, and manually replaced on the USB drive when changes are needed.

Why the Client Needed an Automotive Digital Display
Automotive service businesses frequently update pricing, seasonal promotions, warranties, and available services.
The client wanted a modern digital display solution that would:
- Display animated service promotions
- Update prices quickly
- Improve showroom presentation
- Eliminate printed promotional posters
- Avoid expensive monthly digital signage subscriptions
- Work with their existing Smart TV
Rather than purchasing digital signage software, they chose a Canva-based solution that they completely own.
Animated Digital Signage for Automotive Shops
For this project, we designed an animated digital signage presentation that continuously play on the client’s Smart TV.
The presentation showcases:
- Rhino Linings
- NHOU Oil Undercoating
- Service pricing
- Warranty information
- Product benefits
- Professional branding
- High-quality vehicle imagery
The animations help attract customer attention while presenting information in a clean and professional format.

Canva Digital Display Design Process
Consultation
We reviewed the client’s branding, services, pricing, and display requirements before beginning the design.
Animated Digital Display Design
Using Canva, we created custom animated digital display that clearly communicates service information while maintaining a modern automotive aesthetic.
Editable Canva Project
The completed project was delivered as a fully editable Canva file, allowing the client to update future pricing, promotions, or branding without rebuilding the design.
Smart TV Deployment
The animated presentation was exported as an MP4 video, copied onto a USB flash drive, and displayed directly on the client’s Smart TV in a continuous loop.
Before and After Using Digital Signage
Previously, the business relied on traditional printed promotional materials that required replacement whenever pricing or services changed.
After implementing the new animated digital display, the client can quickly update information inside Canva, export a new MP4 video, and replace the previous file on the USB drive.
The result is a professional digital display that is easier to keep updated as services and pricing change.
What Can Be Edited in Canva?
Because the project was created in Canva, staff can easily edit:
- Prices
- Services
- Promotions
- Warranty information
- Vehicle images
- Logos
- Colors
- Fonts
- Icons
- Contact information
Most updates require only a few minutes before exporting a new MP4 file.
Smart TV Digital Signage Setup
This project uses a simple plug-and-play digital signage setup.
The design is exported from Canva as an high-definition MP4 file and copied directly onto a USB drive.
The MP4 video is displayed using the Smart TV’s built-in media features without requiring a separate monthly digital signage subscription.
Other deployment options, such as Amazon Fire TV Stick, are also available for businesses that prefer different display methods.
This setup eliminates the need for expensive cloud-based digital signage platforms while providing a reliable presentation.
** Display content does not synchronize automatically from Canva. After making changes, the updated design must be exported as a new MP4 file and manually replaced on the USB drive or display device.
