gewoonm Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Just for fun I made some photos of German signs and converted them to hard black-and-white. I even made some book-mockups (10 points if you can see which book I used as stand-in ). Looking forward to hear your feedback! The mockups are made with affinity, some black-white conversions where done with the Apple-Photos plugin of Affinity. I've added the mockups below, some more info is in my blog-post and all black-and-white-photos are here.

Wosven Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Nicely done The first book I reconize, but the second seem too slim to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnT Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just Curious are you saying no to German signs or is that a common sign in Germany? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoonm Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks! It's the same book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoonm Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 @johnnT I didn’t see your post for some reason I’m not saying no to signs, it’s just something I thought would be funny as a title for a book. Most signs tell you not to do something, or that it’s not allowed: “nein” is the very abbreviated version of that johnnT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewoonm Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 @JohnT I shopped my photos into a real book (the affinity photo workbook, actually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörn Reppenhagen Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Being a German, I need to admit the lack of a universal sign badly needed in Germany: "ALLES VERBOTEN!" If there's no law explicitly permitting a matter, it's prohibited automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"NEIN" is one of the real typical terms of German, like "verboten" (prohibited) and "sofort" (immediately, on the double). Rumour has it that during WW 2, the allied forces managed to decrypt the messages of German submarines by seeking for patterns meaning "verboten" and "sofort" - and got successful. Also, there's a more or less famous cartoon, showing a building in a war scene, some soldiers shouting "Are there any Germans in?" - And the answer is "NEIN!"

If only I could photograph that sign, my life would be complete I once saw a sign, I guess it was "Müll abladen verboten" ("verboten", of course), being eaten by a tree. It got nailed to that tree first, then nature stroke back and began to grow around that sign. Looked like the sign was being pulled into the tree. Did a bad smartphone photo back in time - but I fear it will never come to Tageslicht again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
