Continuing with our 5 part post on Creating a Sign that Works, here is part number 3!
Frame Your Sign!
Too often we see signs designed without any sort of accenting border. Especially when these are designed with just a plain white background, they will lack PUNCH!
Like good photographers we must take the approach that framing your sign helps it's design and message remain unified and focused.
This doesn't mean we just add a massive border to our sign. We must be sure that the accent border compliments the rest of the design elements. This may mean limiting the border to just a couple of sides, or the border may not even be necessary when the other elements are strong enough on their own.
When using metal or other frames for holding your sign, it aids the design if the other elements in the design compliment the colour and style of the frame being used.
