Knit in Public Day Posters

A few ideas I did up for Knit in Public Day posters. The format of the first is meant to work on lamp posts and the like.

Direct and to the point, even if it isn’t the most legible typeface I’ve ever done.

Signage: The Brain

The Brain is a bar/coffee shop on James Street here in the Hammer and the proprietor is one Jeremy Greenspan. If you’re into groovy Canadian electronica acts, you’ll recognize the name as being one half of Junior Boys.

This is definitely one of the more unique signs I’ve seen in a long time. Not painted, not carved from stone, not cut out of vinyl, but knit. Designed by Courtney Lakin, and worked on by a dozen individuals who are part of the Beehive Craft Collective who gather once a week at the Brain to hang out and knit. The piece has a proper name: Knit Night on the Brain.
