The Gentleman of Letters

The Gentleman of Letters is a short film documenting the work of sign painters in Ireland. Looking at the history of sign painters through the generations it highlights the lasting impact of hand rendered signs and the importance of continuing a dying tradition.

It was a very interesting watch that led me to research further into hand rendering type and it served as a perfect example of heritage, which linked in with my Studio Practice brief for the rebranding of the betting shop Coral (OUGD403 Collaborative Study Task 01)
