Traditional sign writing on A- Boards for a Funfair.

Labour time; Four hours per sign

To do these A-Boards advertising funfair games, the obvious choice would have been multi coloured fairground lettering. Even though colourful decorative sign work is very effective, this type of work consumes many hours and can be illegible. As the purpose of these signs is to advertise, they needed to be eye catching and instantly readable from a distance. Also considering both sides had to be done on sixteen signs, they needed to done quickly.

So, with these signs it was white on black and include colours only where necessary. However, to make these signs interesting, I designed letter styles and layouts to correspond with each funfair game.
