A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BANNERS
After moving into my new place last summer, I experienced a string of really tense dreams,
so I purchased a GOOD LUCK banner (a la multi-colored HAPPY BIRTHDAY one my mom hangs yearly) and promptly hung it over my bed hoping to inspire change in my unconscious state. Weeks went by, and as nightmares morphed into curious sagas of wonderment and love, I left the banner in place. It simply looked fantastic when distilled in a room. Elegant but kitsch. Simple, strong, and stylish.
I thought aloud to myself one evening,
"Why hasn't anyone ever made these to say more off-the-beaten-path things?"
And at three a.m that morning, I popped up out of bed and shouted giddily, "That someone is ME!"
And so Banter Banner came to be. Drawing from my experience in fashion and art with regards to aesthetic and consideration of color, as well as an all around love for the power of the written word, I set about designing my own. I've chosen phrases near and dear to me. Playful, magical and upbeat, these sayings are put forth in bold colors - the treatment of the paper is mostly matte-finish, though a few nod to the old school with shine.
The font is my all-time favorite: Century Gothic. The shapes: stars, hearts and diamonds.
Succinct and sweet, these banners are sure to light up any room and face.
No longer only for holidays, but for the everyday.
As art.
As design.
As inspiration. |
