Chalkboard Creation
Chalkboards are a vibrant, eye-catching signage solution that is also an environmentally friendly choice. I only use artists’ quality chalk which provides a superior finish and depth of colour, enhancing the look of my artwork.
I can create stylised or realistic product artwork, caricatures, and a wide variety of text styles. I work with my clients to produce chalkboards in a style that will enhance and complement their premises or business identity.
I can also create a one-off original image or a series of images, as was recently completed to be photographed and included in the Zespri Kiwifruit Annual Report.
Framing Options
I can provide custom frames for your chalkboards, in all sizes and styles including grungy and recycled to stylish and professional.
Framing your chalkboard behind glass is an additional option, and this will prevent any accidental damage to your signs by keeping them securely behind a clear protective layer.
Chalkboard Touchup Service
and After-Service Maintenance
I stand by my work and offer a touchup service for any signage that has been smudged, bumped or defaced and in some cases at no cost.
Chalkboards can be easily changed if you want to add or remove items and I am happy to offer you a reduced rate to make changes unless you are someone with a steady hand who can alter your own daily prices, specials, text or branding.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me about maintenance or change queries to keep your chalkboard in perfect condition.
Chalkboard Care and Tips
Chalkboards require care to keep them smudge-free and in pristine condition.
Here are some pointers on the care of your Chalkboards:
- Keep your chalkboard dry, position away from steam and dampness
- Hang your chalkboard either up high, or where people aren’t likely to touch it
- Get your chalkboard sprayed with a semi permanent fixative
- Frame your chalkboard under glass
- When making changes clean chalkboards using Coca Cola not water
