Just for fun!
I was recently struck down by the dreaded Covid lurgy, and it gave me an idea ... how about a door hanger warning sign! It would serve as a reminder that I was infectious and everyone should keep away. In olden times I would have carried a bell and wandered about the streets moaning, "Unclean! Unclean!"
But we live in more enlightened times (or so you would think!), and while the ideas were flowing, how about a hanger for those who work shifts and are asleep while the rest of us are awake?
And of course, one for the stroppy teenager who won't communicate because us adults just don't understand, but eventually comes round when food is on offer.
So here are my fun hangers. Can you think of some other important messages they could carry?
Stop. Covid Zone: Front; Yellow and black quartered background, hand lettering in red. Back; Three greens scumbled as background, red lettering with white blocking. And a big tick.
I'm Awake: Front; Light blue and white scumbled background, yellow letters, dark blue blocking and red decoration. Back; Darker blue and white scumbled background with some lightly applied clouds in white, white letters, black blocking.
Go Away!; Front; Solid black background, orange lettering with red blended over the bottom half. Back; Red, pink, and white scumbled background, letters based in yellow the gold over the top, outlined in black. Gold dots on the background.
