Brick by Brick (or Prop by Prop): Building Your Sign Base
First things first, you gotta have a foundation for your message. Here's where Fortnite's treasure trove of props comes in handy.
The Classic Panel: For a clean and simple look, utilize pre-made panels from various galleries (try "Generic Props" or "Gas Station"). Resize and rotate them to your liking.
Think Outside the Box (Literally): Who says signs need to be flat? Get creative! Use stacked shipping containers, fancy fences, or even those giant rubber duckies (hey, no judgement) to create a 3D masterpiece.
Illuminati Approved: Want your sign to shine brighter than a boogie bomb? Play around with lighting from the "Light" gallery. Neon signs, spotlights, the disco ball... the possibilities are endless (and slightly disco-licious).
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to experiment! Combine different props to create unique and interesting sign bases. After all, a little creative chaos can lead to signage greatness.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Word Up! Putting the "Sign" in Signage
Now that your sign has a solid base, it's time to get your message across. Here's how to make those words pop:
The Texty Text Tool: This is the OG method, folks. Use the Text tool in the "Utility" tab to write directly on your sign. Play with font size, color, and even add a cheeky outline for extra pizazz.
Pre-Made Perfection: Certain prop galleries (like "Retail Row") have built-in signs with text! Slap one of those bad boys on your creation and call it a day (high five for efficiency!).
Projecting Your Ideas: Feeling fancy? Projectors from the "Devices" tab allow you to display custom images or text. This is perfect for those truly epic announcements (like "Free Pizza in the Basement!").
Remember: Keep your message concise and easy to read. You want players to understand what your sign says before a meteor shower wipes them out.
Don't Stop Believin' (In Your Sign's Greatness)
There you have it! You've crafted a magnificent sign that would make even Donald Mustard proud. Now, strategically place it where players will see it and bask in the warm glow of clear communication (and maybe a few impressed nods).
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
Bonus Tip: Feeling extra creative? Rig up some triggers and buttons to make your sign interactive! Imagine a sign that changes color when a player walks by, or one that plays a hilarious sound effect. The power is in your hands!
