Welcome to my archive of posters and signs.
I've produced a number of posters and especially signs over the years. Posters advertising escape room games, posters for climate change awareness, posters for carnival attractions, and more. As for signs, I've done countless for dozens of purposes, big and small.
Interactive, static, parts of displays, I've made signs for a variety of purposes, too numerous to show them all here. (Many of which are extremely ephemeral and perhaps even lost to time...)
Two different signs for two escape room games proudly announcing "We Escaped!", two variations for each also exist for those who didn't escape and those who almost escaped.
Sign for Mountain Room Escapes' escape room emporium, a store within the business that sells puzzles, games, and other escape room-related products.
The word "emporium" draws to mind, for me anyway, a late Victorian or early Edwardian sort of establishment, so I went in that sort of typographic direction and tried to be somewhat restrained in my use of decorations (though, I couldn't help myself in adding just a couple of them).
To display the function of an invisible ink pen, I modeled the design of the sign after 1930s novelty catalogs, even borrowing the pen and surprised gentleman art from one such catalog from a couple of different products.
The pad comes attached so customers can test the pens out, and as each page fills up they can be torn awya giving way to a fresh sheet. More sheets can be printed, and easily staple in place ones the whole pad has been exhausted.
To commemorate the high scores of groups who escape The Alpine Ski Lodge game at Mountain Room Escapes, I designed each poster and the header. Because the scores are very difficult to beat, I've been able to design a new poster for each group who manages to make it on.
As a pre-game activity while guests take turns in the restroom or whilst waiting for the rest of their escape room party to arrive, we've hidden several small creatures in the gift shop for players to find. This poster displays them all and has a bit of backstory and rules to follow when looking for our Miniature Menagerie.
To advertise that Mountain Room Escapes has a penny press inside, I made this sign to stick to our window and entice people to come inside.
Unfortuntely not pictured here, Ben the Bear is an animatronic and this sign is affixed to his quarter slot. He assigns simple tasks for the waiting guest at Mountain Room Escapes upon receipt of 50 cents.
Designed for the Sunrise Trading Post in Big Bear Lake, the typography was inspired by 1880s letterforms and the logo comes from traditional native american imagery symbozing the owner's family. The turquoise of the sign recalls the Native silver jewelry sold there.
The typography was also utilized on business cards to create a sense of cohesion in branding.
A sign made to call attention to the mystery boxes for sale in the Escape Things Emporium. No two packages are alike, and one never knows what mysteries await once they purchase the gift wrapped boxes.
