Exterior Signage Design Assignment


Here is an empty building.
If you could re-design this building into any thing, any color, any design, what would you make this building? Might it become a shop, a restaurant, some service center of some sort? Perhaps you would change it into a non-profit community center or school? I might be a brewery for the beer label you have designed or a winery for your wine. Perhaps a restaurant whose signage you can pull from some of your salsa logos. Or just start completely from scratch.

See how wildly different your before and after images can be. You might want to get some inspirations from: your notes, from our trip to the ICA Boston or the Communication Arts magazines [look in the exhibition area of those Design Annuals]. Or pull from inspiration you have found elsewhere.

Have a study, give it some thought. Should you want to include an exterior signage in your portfolio work, this might be a good place to give this type of design a try.

You can copy this image onto your memory stick directly from this image and I will also upload an image onto the CDIA server, so you can download the jpeg.

Have fun with this. Before and after projects are always interesting and capture the viewers’ attention.

It would be even better if we could work on a higher resolution of this, or another image. At that size, and at 72 dpi, it's gonna be very mushy! Resizing to 200 dpi wouldn't improve things very much.....
