Signs are a special kind of animal in the print world. These were done in Illustrator, and the files had to stay compatible with the printer’s specialized sign software, which ruled out using a slew of advanced tools. Important rule for print work: always ask your printer how they want the files. If I hadn’t, I might have spent a lot of time reworking the files.
I did a lot of research on disc golf course signage. My design here follows the simplified style and information structure that most users expect, while also accounting for the inevitable fading and wear-and-tear.
