QUICK FIX – WEATHER PAPER SIGNS
I print my own posters to decorate buildings – any tips on how to weather them? Roy Hope, via Facebook
Mike says: Fold your posters into quarters – repeat the process several times to emphasis each crease. Folding over a corner or two will also increase realism. Also, don’t glue the whole poster down, allow it to peel away from the wall or billboard slightly. As for weathering, only use dry products: weathering powders, charcoal, pencil, and pastels work well. Avoid paint as it will crumple the paper as it dries.
