More than one neighbor has suggested that we put up plaques that give credit to the photographers of our hallway artwork. I think this is a lovely idea. Now comes the hard part. What should they look like and what should they say? Hmm...
Well, I took a look at the images and imagined them with all different sorts of signage. I like the idea of vinyl lettering applied directly to the wall, but this does not seem practical since the type I envision would probably be too small and vinyl lettering is probably too permanent. I searched numerous signage sites on the web and eventually decided that we should just make our own signage. Current inkjet printing technlogies allow us to do just about anything with the design, and the new archival inks will outlast the photographs. I printed a few samples in white on my laser printer and did not like the white sign against the gold wall. No, instead I think that the signage should borrow a color from the image it hangs next to - something dark so that it works with the gold paint.
So, who in the building has the best color inkjet printer? If you think you do, can you please print this on some matte or satin stock and get the results back to me? My mailbox is number 210. I'm expecting them to look much darker than they appear on screen. After I see what the colors look like, I'll ask for help with the wording. :)
Oh - and by the way, I have ordered a test print of the Paramount panorama theater shot below. (The red one.) If it looks good, I'm hoping to have the full size (nine foot by three foot) panorama ready to hang the weekend after next.
Thanks!
