How to make your own sign

Signs are useful for all sorts of events and activities, they can be used on a march to get your message across or at a festival to show your support to your favourite band. Signs are also used to help people to find their way or to direct them to a specific location as well as many other uses. Making signs is a fun and creative way of spending your time.

Decide on your design and materials

Deciding on the design of your sign is equally as important as the execution. Name and logo
Deciding on the appropriate name and wording of the sign is very important as you want to covey the appropriate message to the viewer. If the sign calls for a logo, then this will be the main focus point of the sign, so you want to make sure that it stands out. Colour scheme Choosing the colours for your sign is a major aspect of the design process, colours are everything! They can make the sign have a certain feel or vibe about it, so picking colours that compliment your message or event is a good idea. If you are creating your sign for a festival, then a neon sign is a great way to stand out. Material of the sign The material of the sign is important as if you want it to be long-lasting, then you will want the sign to be laminated. If the sign is for a festival or big event, you will want the sign to be made from a hard cardboard or strong material so that it isn't easily crushed or broken.
