organic? sign

[urses57]

I have a client that wants an organic sign...we're to use some supplied barnwood for the background, which is kind of neat...but due to budget constraints we plan to use a digital print mounted to acrylic. Here's my dilemma, what in the heck is organic lettering? I've been doing signs for 25 years now and this is a first...HELP!

"organic" is a term used a lot to describe something kind of free flowing, natural, and earthy.
Kinda like someone who doesn't trim their muff.

Think yuppie/hippie.

I like 'em! but realistically, you wouldn't use them for you main sign...sigh I ertired the brush now 5 years ago...still got my kit all the quills and flats and stripers in it...well oiled...just no desire to pull em back out.

does he want the design to be "organic" or the actual material to give to illusion of being "organic" because nothing is further away from natural/organic than acrylic and Vinyl

Nothing wrong with fluffy muff.

In all sincerity, seal the area of the barnwood where you will apply your print.
It may take several coats of oil-based paint. Use a complimentary shade and make it about an inch bigger all around than your print.
Then apply your print in the center, using heat to press it into the nooks and crannies of the barnwood.
It will be like one of those decopauge pictures from the 80s that you used to get on vegetable crate ends.
