    How many Dave? Possibly cnc router out of 3mm aluminium? Would be looking at about $10 per piece here in Oz minimum. Cheers - G
  2. Removing a sign : what about the holes ?

    Remove the signage and screws completely. Get ready to fill holes with silicon. Cut "slats" from Alupanel the same width as the corrigations. Vary the length and install over the corrugations ( filling holes with silicon as you go ), some up, some down, some lighter, some darker than the...
  3. Will install after we finish building the ark!

    Nice job.... would have liked to see the line between smooth and textured "hidden" a bit better, maybe a pinstripe two tones up or down maybe? Cheers - G
  4. Critique

    Increase the white keyline between red / black in "repairs". Too thin. G

    Nice designs, nice layouts. A few really pop. With respect Dan, all you have done is achieve what should be achieved. You have done your job - which would be expected. Everybody else these days simply fails.... that's all. There is so much crap around these days that when someone designs...

  7. Boat Lettering

    Boats are also different than vehicles that usually have "one lane" between them for readability. I generally DOUBLE the drop shadow size. Looks better and more fitting from a distance. Cheers - G

    Seperate combine, select and delete one of the inlines, then re combine. Should fix error. Cheers - G
  10. wrap design critique....

    Hre's a tip. Print the wrap, keeping the lettering BLACK. When the wrap is done, select the most suitable coloured vinyl, and cut through plotter (10mm smaller to create drop shadow) and vinyl over the black. Leave the url off completely and plot seperately and apply as normal computer cut...
  11. Huge Sign

    I could be wrong... BUT.... those who say: " Painting looks nice but its a thing of the past.The substrate must be clean and painted properly.Its not as durable and or washable and cant be changes easily when Necessary." ... ... or similar, are those that can't actually weild a brush. If...
  12. Here is menu... what do you think ??

    The red line that the two ribbons sit on is straight. The line underneath the name is squiggly. Get rid of the squiggly line - it conflicts. Also possibly go to a standard but light font for the word "Menu". Cheers - G
  13. Truck stop acid wash?

    The word ACID should answer your question EVERY time. Cheers - G
  14. what comes around....goes around!

    "what comes around....goes around! " Yup ... be careful... two wrongs don't make a right. Raise the issue with the guy and negotiate. Whilst you may or may not have "bagged" him to clients, friends, business associates, he may certainly do so. Is your reputation worth $250 ? Especially...
  15. Hours?

    Working for myself for 16 yrs, from home, I work the hours I need. Might be 10, 2, 6, or even 0 hrs per day. Generally work 2 zip codes or 10 minuites drive radius - whatever comes first. I switch off totally, never get snowed, and just work till the work gets done. Never feel like I...
  16. Quick Exterior Install Video

    Looks like a banner temporarily screwed to a wall. Although banners are temporary sign substrates, you should have at minimum used sail track. At least the thing would be taut and constant, without the ripples. Just my .02 cents.
  17. Latin Translation

    Joe my Latin is poor... but when I drop an epoxy coated sheet on the floor and gets totally covered in chisel scrapings and dust.... You should hear my FRENCH... Cheers - G
  18. Criticism of any kind welcomed

    There is your first ( and greatest ) problem. Rather than sitting behind a keyboard, grab a HB pencil and pad and DRAW. DRAW, DRAW, DRAW, DRAW, DRAW. It doesn't matter if you can't draw a stick man. That's not the point. You HAVE to get the relationship between the brain, the eye, and...
  19. Any Input Helpful

    Here's a hint Darkside. When you design, think (better still look) of Magazines. Yup... magazines. Grab a "Home Beautiful" or "Vogue".... now look at the individual components of clothing people are wearing.... they all compliment each other, to come up with an overall look or feel. Think...
  20. Typical life for a magnetic sign

    "Magnets hardly ever removed from pickup" Idiot- (customer that is). Magnetics are temporary signs designed to be placed on and taken off vehicles. Four years is excellent value. Sell him some more.
