Shaped Road Sign Poster
A poster built from two shaped road signs, textured and stickered — with the one rule that keeps them reading as signs instead of slabs. Seven fields.
We made two examples: two signs pointing one way, and two pointing the other. In the second, the rule holds again on both signs, and the sticker again comes out as a photograph, which the template does not control. The materials are also harder to tell apart here: chipped enamel and coarse canvas both come out as weaves of a similar scale and differ more by colour than texture, whereas the gritty clay and burlap in the first are clearly distinct.
You can trace both chevrons end to end, and their outlines close around the tip at the same distance they keep along the straight edges. Nothing covers the point, and that is what keeps each shape reading as a sign. Stickers can come out as photographic prints even if you describe something else, because the template says where they go but not what they are made of. If it matters, describe the sticker precisely in the field.

Shaped Road Sign Poster
What this makes
A poster built from two shaped road signs, textured and stickered — with the one rule that keeps them reading as signs instead of slabs. Seven fields.
The whole template, in one piece. The steps below are the entire workflow.
How to use it
- Copy the whole template with the button above.
- Replace the seven FIELDS lines. In the badge field, say which sign each badge sits on and roughly where in its body — that placement is what the template is protecting.
- Paste it into any image-capable agent or model, in one message. One run returns the poster.
- Check the pointed end of each sign before shipping. If you cannot trace the full chevron with your eye, something is parked on it.
What you swap
- The upper sign's headline, and its small line
- WILD CLAY — small line: Handmade Pottery
- The lower sign's headline, and its small line
- TRY THE WHEEL — small line: WORKSHOP
- Which way each sign points
- upper points right, lower points right — both the same way
- The two surfaces
- upper: terracotta orange with a fine clay grain · lower: oatmeal with a coarse burlap weave
- The badges and stickers, and which sign each sits on
- a curled-corner badge of a potter's wheel, low on the upper sign's body · a curled-corner badge of a kiln flame, low on the lower sign's body · a square sticker of someone at a wheel, on the lower sign's left
- The corner text
- top left BRAND POSTER · top centre LEEDS // LS · bottom left CREATED BY WILD CLAY
- The ground
- warm off-white paper with a soft fibre texture
Before it runs
- Two headlines that differ in job — one names the thing, one tells you what to do. Two of the same kind gives you two signs with no reason to be two.
- Badges small enough to sit within the flat body. A badge scaled to the sign's height has nowhere to go but the point.
- Corner text you actually want. It frames the signs, and invented handles and addresses read as filler the moment anyone looks.
When to reach for it
Workshop and studio promotion, market stalls, open days, anything with a hands-on trade behind it. Templates in this style ask for signs with badges stuck to them and get a badge parked exactly on the pointed end, which is the only part of the shape doing the identifying.
What changes
- Two shaped signs stacked on a paper ground, each pointing, each carrying one headline.
- Every badge, sticker and label inside the flat body — the pointed end left clear, so the silhouette still reads.
- One keyline per sign, a closed loop at an even offset all the way round the shape, corners and chevron included.
- Two surfaces you can tell apart by texture alone, not just by colour.
- Corner text in the margins, never on a sign.
Pairs with
- 3D Character Screen BreakoutA soft-3D character coming out of a screen — with the crossing proved: named parts behind the plane, named parts through it, and the surface visibly giving way. Five fields.
- Bakery Food PosterA bakery-counter food poster — one dish shot large under a Didot title — with the overlap specified as a construction so the picture layers instead of stacking. Six fields.
- Barcode PosterA barcode poster in two colours — with the code built on a base module, guard bars and a numeral row, so it reads as a scanned object rather than a stripe field. Five fields.
