BANNERS

For a class project in Web Design, we need to make a band website. Strangely enough, I recently designed a band logo for RetroStatic (website coming soon…). Recently, they had a show for Taylorsville Days and got a banner created for the event. They encouranged me to do the same. Below are the designs and a photo featuring the banner… IN ACTION!!!

Great work, HIGHTECH SIGNS!!!

Recently, I applied for the following position on CraigsList:
