Kinport Coffee Company signs

Last week I put the finishing touches on and installed a project that I've been so pleased to work on for the past few weeks.
Local entrepreneur Amy Millward opened Kinport Coffee Company inside Kinport Junction, which is a beautifully restored building in Pocatello's historic warehouse district. She's done a fantastic job with the little coffee shop, and she's recently expanded into the space next to the counter to add some comfy seating -- she even hosts music and literary readings.

The only problem was that, because of the open nature of the building, Amy's coffee shop nearly shares space with several businesses, sometimes confusing customers who didn't know where to go to order coffee -- or even that there was an area to sit down off to the right.

That's where I came in. Amy, who'd seen my screenprinted cards for sale at the Pocatello Co-op in the same building, asked if I could design and print some signs that would hang from the light fixtures, telling customers where to order coffee and where they could "chillax."
I happily agreed, and after mocking up some designs and settling on a font that reminded me of coffeehouse chalkboards, this was the result. I apologize for the poor photo quality, but Amy and I were both delighted with the finished product, which is even better in person. The colors fit in perfectly with the building's exposed brick and piping.
We added a couple smaller signs to point out some of the shop's drink offerings, too. I printed a couple extras so Amy will have backup should the signs get damaged in any way.
All in all, a fun project to be involved in and to help bring about. Now, Kinport Coffee not only has signs to help clear up confusion for its customers, but it also has an extra touch of hand-printed flair, which fits right in with the aesthetic of the building.
