Goodtype: Goodtype Tuesday billboard challenge by Adams Outdoor & Fairway Outdoor
- Location:
Adams Outdoor Advertising and Fairway Outdoor Advertising are donating more than 700 billboards in 21 states to promote lettering artists’ renderings of positive messages.
The designs came from Goodtype’s #goodtypetuesday challenge, where lettering artists and illustrators from around the world were asked what they would put on a billboard. Entries were posted to Goodtype’s Instagram page, a place where nearly one million lettering professionals and enthusiasts connect with one another.
Adams+Fairway discovered the challenge and offered to post submissions with the best design, legibility, and messaging. Twenty-two designs were chosen by designers from 11 US states and eight other countries.
From now through September 23, the designs will be featured on over 700 printed and digital billboards in 21 states. They include Brazilian Luis Felipe Barros Cavalcanti’s ‘Don’t Forget to Smile Today’, Valerie Miyasaki, of Kent, Washington’s ‘Keep Looking Up’ and Carmi Grau, from Berlin’s ‘Today is the Day’, among others.
