Ok, how many times have you come across one of those ridiculous garage sale signs and thought, "Hey, I could've done better than that." Well here is your chance to re-design one of the most common forms of outdoor signage.

I wanted to make this assignment a really easy, quick, little design. Have fun with it, and make your ultimate garage sale sign.


Please consider these guidelines for your design:

-be in a 10x8 format, for better comparison

-Include text: "garage sale" or "yard sale"

-any other text (date, address, etc..) is optional


If you need something to look, at just try a google image search for "garage sale" and you will see the bad designs. Also, think about this as a mini-poster, so you can make it look as 'cool' as you want. Design something that you like, use your favorite style, do whatever you want to!

Check out www.gigposters.com and www.aestheticapparatus.com for some inspiration.

Here are AA's awesome 'garage sale' signs.
