Exploring Signage

I decided to start by exploring traditional methods of signage and, like the artist Bob and Roberta Smith, work on found materials and paint the lettering free hand. I found scraps of newsprint as the base for these experiments, and mixed shades of the primary colours blue, red and yellow for the lettering and background colour. These colours are often found in Smith's work, probably due to the nature of the colours being bold and standing out, reflecting the purpose of the sign.
