SIGN PAINTERS DOCUMENTARY REVIEW DESIGN GOSSIP
-
- Ontwerp
SUMMARY: We’re wrapping up our pre-season with a review of the documentary Sign Painters (2013, directed by Sam Macon and Faythe Levine). How much did we swoon for all the hand-lettering? How did we feel about this film highlighting dozens of white dudes? We talk type vs. lettering, work-for-hire, function vs. aesthetic and peak chalkboard.
Signpainters Instagram, The Revival of America’s Hand-painted Sign Industry by Ester Bloom for the Atlantic, Charlene’s painted window for CAKE Plus-Sized Resale.
Heads up - This is the last episode of our pre-season. We'll be back soon with a full Design Gossip season where we discuss things like gender in design, taking the leap from corporate to creative solopreneur life, craftivism and lots of shop talk. Stay tuned.
