What do you think of our banner?

12th July 2011 at 18:06

So, my mum's a little bit of a crafter herself, (Must run in the family!) and she likes to makes bags, pouches, jewelry and brooches. She's booked a stall at a local craft fair, and we're just wondering what you guys think of out banner?

<a href="http://s1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee517/co-k-kasia/Mum%20banner%20and%20fair/?action=view&current=IMG_2442.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee517/co-k-kasia/Mum%20banner%20and%20fair/IMG_2442.jpg" border="0" alt="Banner"></a>

Any feed back would be appreciated.

Also, if you'd like to check out her hand-made items, she has two shops on Folksy:

Well the font is a bit hard to read all together, and it usually seems that things hard to read up close are even harder to read from further away. So People wandering the craft fair wouldnt be able to see what your advertising on the sign I think. But I really like the idea! If you were going to change one thing, my suggestions would be to keep the "Handmade" Part the same because its awesome, but then do the "Bags & Accessories" part in a regular sans serif font ie Times New Roman (because those styles are easier to quickly). Then it would show your creative side of Handmade items, but also deliver the info needed Ive seen this done at a few places, and I really think it looks Fun & Professional I hope that all came out clear lol! <3 <3

It's a bit busy. There's so much to look at that it's going to take someone more effort to read the banner than it is to look at what's for sale.

I'd tone it down with a more uniform font with less colors.

I've done a lot of craft sales before, and the less busy your sign is, as long as it still catches attention, the more people will look at your stuff.

I'm actually going to a merchant event to raise money for the local art center this weekend, and all I'm really doing for a sign is posting my "menu" of soaps and scrubs with my shop's name.
