That book is a GOLDMINE !!!!!!!!!!! Read it then read it again and when you have read it a dozen times... read it again. You will be surprised at how much it will aid you in doing what you will possibly want to do in the future. The basis of everything in signs is good design...

Here's two tips for the "newbies" of which we all were at some point in time. Tip 1: It might be "better" to structure the post as a question rather than "this is what I am telling you, and also... make it personal. Example: "When I use for example a 24" roll of vinyl and cut out...
