 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BANNERS After moving into a new apartment in Brooklyn, summer of 2009, I experienced a string of really tense dreams,
so
I purchased a GOOD LUCK banner (a la party store HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner) and with hopes of ushering change into my subconscious, promptly hung it over my bed. Time passed and even 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, "Wait. 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 from my endless love for 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.
Succinct and sweet, these banners are sure to light up any room and face.
No longer only for holidays, but for the everyday. ...EVERYDAY IS THE OCCASION.  |
