Habana Calle 6

 Habana Calle 6 is a great place to find Cuban food and fun on           6th street in Austin Texas.

I am proud to have designed this big, bright and colorful blade sign for them. Austin is the live music capital of the world and everyone heads to 6th street to hear bands from all over the world and to have a good time. Austin is my hometown and I am particularly proud to have contributed to its atmosphere with my designs.

Here is a photo of the finished sign at night.

Several design options were created from scratch. Although the presentation art is handled digitally, the first phase for me takes place in my sketchbook the old fashioned way.

After the initial design direction was approved,  I built this 3D model and used the renders to gain approval from all parties involved. The sign was then fabricated to match it exactly. 
Here is a photo of the finished sign during the day.
