Holiday signage

Happy Holidays!  

Here are my most recent Holiday signs... I really enjoy how the trees came out.  

The top two signs are double sided, which always presents it's own set of challenges, making things mirrored.  

The Thanksgiving themed ones are on cardboard, which adds a seasonally appropriate background color.

PS. Check out that turkey's stripes!  :)

Giant Coffee...

The Giant Coffee cup was fun.  I did some stylized shading.  

The Local Producers sign is MDF with chalkboard paint and then paint pen. 

 IMPORTANT when using chalkboard paint, once it dries you must rub the whole thing with the side of a chalk and then wash it off.  Otherwise the spot where your permanent lettering is will be blacker than the rest of it and it will look uneven. 

For the top of the Chip Tree...

 Hot Soup.  A temporary sign until I can make the Big Kettle.  I like this kind of shading.

 Some cool Negative space shadows. 

The loaf of bread could've come out better though...

Also if you like signs you should definitely check out the Trader Joe's Artist Hub.  Their stuff is terrific.

They can use pastels, which we just do not have the setup for...so they can make infinitely cooler signs with more colors.

Coffee, Homegoods & Mini Signs

Coffee & Tea, My first shaped sign.  

 This one I did an interior fill on the lettering which came out pretty nice I think.

 These ones are small, 6 x 8" or so.  They're for inside the bakery cases, to draw attention to the items.  They were quick ones.

Adventures in Color

This one was a quick one for the side of the case just inside the door of the store.  I like how the border came out.  Though I think I should have given the ribbons some shading.

Adding color to these black signs after doing so many in White on Black was a little intimidating. 

I took some inspiration from the trader joes artist hub for these next few.  I have a few more colors to work with now.  These two really grab your attention from across the room.

Color...

I did a few quick marker posters that are temporary...

Coloring Book Pages

Here are a few coloring book pages I made for Organon.  Simple and cute. The Logo one I have gone in and deleted the background... The others still need to be done.

More Signage

This top one is partially paint and the rest is chalkboard to be able to change which farms we have in...

Restroom! Everybody needs to know where it is right?  

I liked my little people.  Permanent paint pen on foamcore. Up close the textural lines look cooler.

Kids' vs Kids vs Kid's...Snacks.  

I couldn't decide grammatically if there ought to be an apostrophe, so I left it out.  My teacher friend tells me it should probably be after the s.  Ah well. Also a foamcore sign.  You can't tell from the picture but the lettering has stripes also.

This one was a quick actual-chalk-on-easel sign for the day.  I like the way the leaves came out.

More Signs

And here is another of my Faux Chalkboard Signs at work.  I really like this font.   It speaks LOUDLY and has an old-time-y charm.

And this one is a quick little promo ;)

Chalkboard Signs

 I have been making Chalkboard looking signs at Organon Market, where I work...  Here are some of them...
