This week I kept working on the rest of the signs for the shop. They were pleased with the first 3 signs, so I kept the theme going and worked on the last 3. I also started working on their instagram account, which needs a bit more work, to gain more followers and raise awareness of TREAD which is one of the biggest bike shops in New York City. My goal is to post pictures of the store and the products they have, the new renovations, inspirational quotes for the cyclists and more…

These are the other 3 signs:

This week’s project was to create signs for the type of bikes the bike shop sales. Which are Hybrid, road, mountain, folding, BMX and children’s bikes. The store is currently being modified to improve its look and make room for more merchandise. The signs will help customers know exactly where to find the bike that they specifically come in looking for.  I’ve tried to make every sign relate to each other visually, by using the same pattern as the background and utilizing lines for movement. I used bright colors to maintain a fun mood, and a capitalized san serif font for clear legibility.

There are the 3 first ones:

This week on my internship I’ve been working on changes for the final designs that my boss liked the most. It has been fun, and challenging in a way. Sometimes it can be a bit frustrating changing very small details multiple times, however I understand that that is the correct way to creating something great and that will satisfy the person/people you are working for.

Here are just some of the versions for 1 of the designs, there’s still no official final design but it’s getting there:

I’ve been focusing the most on this particular one because this is the one with the most potential, due to the specific track around the logo; it makes more sense for this particular shop and it personal value to my boss, the founder of this bike shop. I look forward in creating something that will potentially be printed out and worn, this only gives me the motivation to continue working on it and become better at what I do.
