As I mentioned in my earlier post, how I was working with a friend of mine decorating and painting the space, I went for painting his logo on the main shutter too.
About the logo design and making...
So my friend basically consider himself a hungry hitchhiker. His journey has always been about discovering himself amidst and along with community. He took himself for a month long trip on bicycle around Rajasthan, all hitchhiking. So the logo is being designed as that only. It's just a rabbit human hitchhiking every way.
Now , he has come up with his own space, Den by hitchhiker. DEN because the space he has choosed for his cafe looks alot like a den,hence, DEN by hitchhiker.
Since the den has a shutter outside and it's in insides of a colony, it was a sane choice to paint the logo in front , so people can know about the food space there. That's what I did.
But it was my first time painting anything on a metal surface. Fun part- new learning, sad part- lack of knowledge. Since I was unaware of the properties of this surface, i painted my usual acrylic colors on the shutter. Later I realised that acrylic can't stay long on them and Hence I had to repaint them .
This time I took enamel paint for metals. They are the oil based colors, especially for metals since they provide anti-corrosion properties.
It took me around 5 days to complete it. The uneven surface made it even worse and I had few more lessons to me about metals and shutters.
It turned out a bit messy in the end, with a bit of color spilling and not with enough finishing. But I have a redo for this already in my mind.
here's a few pictures of me posing with the logo.....
Would much appreciate your suggestions and reviews on this :))
