People use signs to show how they feel, request a song, or say something special to their favorite stars. Here's how to make that perfect sign.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 45 minutes
Here's How:
- Go to your local arts and crafts store, or an office supply store will carry what you need, if there are no arts and crafts stores nearby.
- You'll want to buy bright colored poster board, and black permenant marker pens.
- If you're attending the concert with several friends, get together a couple hours before the concert begins to design your signs.
- If you're going with friends, you may want to make single signs, or perhaps signs that form a sentence when you all hold them up.
- You need to make your text as large as possible, so that it can be read from the stage. Lettering of 10-12' is preferable.
- The bright colored posterboard is the key. Many people will use white posterboard, but flourescent green, pink, yellow, or orange will be seen more easily.
- If the venue is small, please be courteous and don't hold your sign up for hours at a time. People behind you want to see the artist, not the back of your sign.
- With a little luck, your artist will see and acknowledge your work of art.
Tips:
- My recommendation for a brand of marker for your signs is the Avery Marks-A-Lot Chisel Tip Black Permenant Marker.
- Again, bright colored poster board, rather than white makes the best sign.
