They’re finally up!

This was the first project the newly reformed Duvall Cultural Comission put together, in our first meeting. Our Public Works Director came in talking about new signage needed in the town, and after his report, the Chair (me) had no idea what to do. What can I say, it was my first report, on the first meeting in my first government role. Ever.

And I suggested, well, we could design the signage. Cause it was the only thing I could think of what to do because I was a roadgeek, I knew AASHTO signage specifics, and I’ve always had a thing for roadsigns for some odd reason.

I worked from the suggestions they made to come up with a nice design, using the colors and the “park” icon on the City of Duvall logo. Then Crystal and I worked together, riffing off my designs (one for big signs, done by Crystal, one for small signs done by me) and presented them to the other comissioner for suggestions and edits.

From there, a few colors were changed and a golden divider line was removed from the smaller signage, but the designs remained essentially the same, which you can see in the first picture.

And then some time passed as the signs obviously went through revisions at the Public Works Department. But they essentially stayed true to the core design.

But that was all of us in the Cultural Comission. Our first assignement! And the signs will be up for years.
