writing meant to get attention (such as on signs) will often use only uppercase

the first letter of a proper noun, such as a person's name, or of the name of a city, state, country, etc. is usually written in uppercase

in addition to proper nouns, adjectives (those derived from a name, such as Canadian, Shakespearian) are written with the first letter in uppercase, as are the names of days of the week, months, languages, and the pronoun "I"
