Culture, Art and Colour in Signs

Hello and welcome to my blog! If you are designing a sign, I hope to provide you with the facts, ideas and inspiration you need. I have been an artist my entire life, I have dabbled in graphic design and I have helped many companies with marketing and branding. As a result, I am uniquely positioned to help others design signs that are appealing, colourful and artistic. I also enjoy the idea of integrating various cultural elements from both your culture and foreign cultures into your signs. In this blog, I plan to cover it all, and I hope you enjoy exploring! My name is Emma, and I welcome you!
