Animal-print patterned display
Safari
Safari is a patterned display set on a painted savannah sky: rounded block capitals, each filled with a different animal print — tiger, leopard, zebra, cheetah and giraffe — with a heavy outline, a pale keyline and a small serif line above that names the count of fonts.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Safari.
The plate shows the product honestly by setting one word in five prints and a supporting line in a sixth, which is what a buyer needs to see, because the value is in the variety rather than in a single face. Each letter is a rounded block with a heavy outline and a pale keyline, so the print sits inside a container and the letters stay separate even when the patterns are busy. That construction sets a size floor, because a fine print closes when the letters shrink. The painted sky and the grass are staging, and the line at the foot states the formats, which is the practical detail a crafter checks. It suits a party sign, a shirt and a child's card rather than a heading in a document.

Sign for a jungle party
A patterned display sets a jungle theme in the lettering, and the per-letter prints give one sign five textures without a second design.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 print: the greeting at 90 mm cap height, the name at 40 mm, and the date at 18 mm. Keep 28 mm margins and print four colours on a light stock. Leave 30 mm at the foot for the gate line.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at four metres, where a fine print can blur into colour; keep the repeats above 4 mm. Confirm the 18 mm date reads at two metres and that the keyline stays visible.
Shirt graphic for a themed party
A patterned face prints as a costume piece, and the outline keeps each letter separate on a shirt where a flat fill would merge.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 mm chest graphic: the slogan at 55 mm cap height, the year at 26 mm, and four inks on a light shirt. Keep the smallest pattern repeat at 5 mm and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 5 mm repeat can fill; enlarge it. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the outlines stay closed after five cycles.
Label for a pet shop
A print-filled display signals a pet shop before the name is read, and the heavy outline keeps a small label legible. A print-filled mark reads on a busy shelf.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 55 mm label: the shop at 12 pt, the line at 8 pt, and three colours on a white stock. Keep 4 mm inside the die and keep the prints above 2 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the 12 pt shop on a small die, where a print can close; simplify the fill at that size. Confirm the 8 pt line reads at arm's length and that the label peels cleanly.
