The largest so far

February 4, 2016

My day job as a graphic designer and marketer has allowed me to design with type on a much larger scale than in the workshop. Before this project, billboards, an 18-wheeler trailer and light rail train wraps have been the largest graphics I’ve designed. This towering banner measures 60'x16', twelve feet taller than the typical billboard is long. The aluminum framing went up first, taking an entire day of endless drilling and bolting into the brick wall from the deck of a cherry picker. The next morning, the crew started hanging the banner at the very top (right photo), and unrolled it slowly like a huge window shade, snapping tension clips along the edges as they went. After three hours, the front of the building had been visually transformed.
