Journal Entry 4: Handwritten Signs

Coffee Cocktails. Downtown Flag. I picked this because each of the different coffee's have different typographical and graphic elements to emphasize what the coffee is about. Its very unique. 

Happy Hour. Downtown Flag. Some of the coolest typography was on these handwritten signs. These signs were probably made by people who are not graphic designers, but sometimes they are better than the signs that were made by designers. I like the handwritten type at the top. I like that the two H's aren't exactly the same. Something that we don't see with computer generated type. 

DeLovely cosmetic company. Downtown Flag. The use of bright colors on a black background helps these handwritten signs stand out. Unlike most handwritten signs this sign is very clean. the type is drawn very accurately. The elegant handwritten type fits with the cosmetic theme.
