Designing My Own Neon Signs
Entrepreneurs want to have a hands-on approach on the running of their business. Seeing how neon open signs work for other places, I had to have my own.

Neon has featured heavily in the work of film directors looking to project a dystopian vision of the future, signifying the particular un-organic look its fluorescence communicates. A writer whose name escapes me once divided historians up between what he called parachutists and truffle hunters, meaning those who are driven by the broad sweeps of history and those who find meaning in the unexpected nuggets of stories often related by ordinary people. As designers we need to be both. We shouldn’t ignore the wider world around us-to take an interest in global trends will help improve our work as well as our character.

Neon signage is one such attribute, and there are countless others out there to explore. You will be too if you develop the visual awareness explained above, striding towards signs reading ‘Awards’ ‘Recognition’ and ‘Success’, in neon naturally!
