We Had A Barrel Of Fun Creating This 3 Dimensional Sign Structure
Here at The Sign Depot we are always looking for ways to add creativity to signs. 3 dimesional signs are a great way to customize and transform a sign into a creative sign structure. When we were approached by Souvenir City to create a custom photo booth we went all out to make sure that the sign not only served the purpose as a photo opp spot, but also to build an eye-catching scuplture. As you can see in the pics below we had a barrel of fun with this custom sign.
From Design To 3 Dimensional Sign
This sign project began with an in-house designed metal structure with attached High Density Urethane (sign foam) pieces carved to create a Niagara Falls scene for the photo booth.
The sign foam was pieced together to look like a barrel headed over Niagara Falls. After assembly, the sign structure was coated with epoxy to harden it and make it durable.
Next it was time to give the 3 dimensional sign structure a custom paint finish. It started with dark base colours to give the the custom structure depth.
After the base colours were dry, lighter colours were applied to add highlights and add to the dimensional look.
A final coat was added to the barrel to instantly age the sculpture. The rust finish technique was exactly what the barrel needed to make it feel vintage.
When CTV News Channel contributor Neil Hedley and his wife Tatiana stopped by, we decided to give the photo booth a test run. The look on their faces is priceless!
The next steps included fabricating the top portion of the photo booth and manufacturing a Niagara Falls sign that would be affixed to the top of the sign structure.
The sign structure travelled to Niagara Falls where our expert sign makers installed the photo booth and added the Niagara Falls Canada sign.
If you happen to stop at Souvenir City Headquarters make sure to tweet us a pic of you in their new photo booth!
