“ANOTHER DOOR OPENS” CHARITY EVENT

I spent my first few days sketching the typeface on a smaller piece of wood, with pencil, before I worked on the real one. Stuart Grannen, founder of Architectural Artifacts, found this door in an abandoned building. For inspiration, I researched playful, yet daunting typefaces to portray the message “Leave Your Ego at the Door” in a powerful way. I used chalk to sketch the typeface and then painted the letters on with acrylic black paint.

Commissioned by Michael Del Piero for “Another Door Opens” at Architectural Artifacts, Inc, benefitting Chicago House.
