Making Signs

I had some free time yesterday to make this guy in Photoshop with the Timeline tool.  🙂

I got the chance to design signage for LAITS Computer Support. Here’s my draft + final based off what was requested. The final sign will be 34″ x 10″ and be placed on their door in Parlin Hall. The font I used, Roboto Condensed, is so geometric. See the way the uppercase S lines up with the top of the lowercase u? Roboto isn’t a bad font but Open Sans will always have my heart for sans-serif body typefaces.

 

First draft:

Final draft, with larger text to fill up the white space:

 

Suloni asked if I could make a simple style guide for future signage. This is a rough draft of it. The Computer Support signage is pretty simple so there was no need to make it long. I did want to include examples because I’m a visual learner and I’m sure most design STAs looking at it in the future will be too.
