Shortly after, the child sign’s masthead was updated so all the signage shared a consistent look and feel. The other two playful signs were never created once the decision was made to remove the playfulness in favor of a cohesive look throughout.
Here are two other signs. All signs have an image with an artistic effect within the blue masthead, a vintage paper background, and a map in the lower left that highlights the sign’s location and helps orient the viewer within the Shipyard.
Once the layout phase was complete, the signs were put on hold and remained that way for five years. In 2021, this project kicked up again, and the signs were redesigned to meet city requirements for the visually impaired. As a result, the signs increased in size, the vintage paper background was removed, color adjustments were made, the text got a lot larger and other layout adjustments were made. This project was finally completed in late summer 2024, and the signs have been mounted at the shipyard’s hilltop park. I’ll share photos of the signs once they become available.
