Although I had various options and brainstormed a number of ideas for this poster, I have decided to go with a piece that would leave a more lasting impression on my life. In essence, I wanted to create a piece that I could call upon for inspiration; a piece that could potentially light the way; a visual reference to motivate me to find that extra spark; a piece to influence me to achieve my goals and visualize future accomplishments.
I will be creating a neon sign to represent just this. The sign will consist of one flowing white neon light who's curves formulate a motivational word.
The word that I have chosen is "Scharf." A German word, it was commonly used by my friends and I during our 13+ month stay in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We used this word to show excitement, interest, express when things were "cool", fun, "spicy", or different.
scharf (adj.)
phrases
- hot adj. (
Anyone who knows me would understand why such a word would be the perfect motivational word. it's intense yet playful. I'm into it.
Below you will find a screen shot of the semi-final in the design of the neon light. I intend this piece to be 6"x13.5". I'm not sure if I should be going with the uppercase or lowercase option. Opinions will be needed. Click on the image to enlarge.
I have only received 1 response in regards to the creation of the scharf sign. They quoted me for a piece 13"x32" and are looking to charge $286 + $38 in shipping. yikes! Does anyone know a custom neon sign-maker who can do the project without charging me a fortune?
