Brighton Shop Signs

These are just a couple of things I've seen around Brighton in the last few days. I've always loved hand painted signs, but I've only recently started to appreciate the hand rendered signs outside restaurants and cafes, that sort of 'Sale!' writing you also used to get in shops. We've just been giving an exciting project by the University to produce a typographic sculpture to go on the side of Grand Parade campus, so I've been racking my brains for days over it. It's a shame the brief doesn't really allow me to use the kind of type above though.
