[Post 1054] Designing An Eye-Catching Signboard For A Poppadom Pop-Up (Now With Otters) | How Graphic!

Summary

In this episode of How Graphic!, we follow Syaqil, a freelance graphic designer, as he turns back the clock for his client. Uncle Saba’s flagship product - ready-to-eat poppadoms or lentil chips in a can, has been a hit in several countries. But they want to add a little oomph to their mall pop-ups with an ultra-Singaporean, vintage yet modern shop signboard and paper carrier bag that features an iconic mascot!

Join Syaqil as he digs out relic-looking paper bags at “By My Old School”, saws out acrylic letters vintage-style at Globe Art Studio and does some heavy lifting to get the perfect retro print at Papypress on a Heidelberg printing press. Will the sweat and pain be enough to put the pop into Uncle Saba’s poppadoms?
