ATLANTA, GA (July 2, 2018) – Adams Outdoor Advertising and Fairway Outdoor Advertising will donate more than 700 billboards in 21 states to bring to life lettering artists’ renderings of positive messages. 

The designs came from Goodtype’s #goodtypetuesday challenge, in which lettering artists and illustrators from around the world were asked what they would put on a billboard. Entries were posted to Goodtype’s Instagram page, where nearly one million lettering professionals and enthusiasts discover and connect with one another.
 
Adams+Fairway discovered the challenge and offered to post submissions with the best design, legibility, and messaging. Twenty-two designs were chosen by designers from 11 US states and eight other countries.
 
“It’s always inspiring for us as advertising artists to see and share exceptional creative design, particularly those skills related to lettering,” said Todd Turner, Adams+Fairway’s National Creative Director. “When we saw these beautiful designs and the passion behind the craft, we had to make it real.” 

Turner added, “The messages are positive, encouraging, and heart -warming. The world needs more positivity right now, and we think this campaign can help.”
 
From July 2-September 23, 2018, the following designs will be featured on over 700 printed and digital billboards in 21 states.
