Signs, Signs, Everywhere I Signs.

Image intensive post, so this time I threw a cut in rather than drowning you all. Being a designer by training and always on the lookout for relevant applications of it, I do a fair amount of our store’s in-store signage (A large chunk of the photo dept.’s for grand opening, and various ad signs throughout the store when one is needed faster than advertising can accomodate.) Lately they’ve had me throwing together presentation booklets to show off the various new facilities they’re oh-so-proud of to other stores. (This is why many of my comics end up late- trying to do cubicle style work while standing up in a wide open area full of people who think I know where the diabetic peanut butter is.)

Price list for the media center’s various digital services. The light scattered pixels look is kind of a running theme from sign to sign, as is the blue and yellow (Kodak colors overlap nicely with the Kroger official colors!). Adobe Illustrator CS.

My little mascot dude, an anthropomorphic SD memory card.

I mosaic’d the customer’s name, to be safe here. This is a poster with a swappable pair of plastic translucent frames used to display the pictures we vote best each week from our submissions. This poster’s also being used by another store in the chain that picked the contest up.

The three signs in the back of the film drop box are mine, though nobody really reads them! They list the directions for filling out the envelopes, because you can never be too safe and it’s hard to read the directions ON the envelope as you write on it.

The ‘seminars’ haven’t really gone down per se, but we always help people out with their cameras when they come to us. Even if later they call us from Florida claiming we stole their memory card after fixing a setting they bunged up and I could ONLY have fixed with the card in the camera (meaning without removing it.) Venting done!

There are other pieces of course, but I didn’t snap any pictures of them or bring the raw files home. Maybe another time.
