niiiiiiiiiice! Great tips in the article.

We've used this to replace ghosted marker boards. It's been for interior work, though. But, it should be fine outside. Our customers have been very happy with its performance ... and cleaning. Also, search here for dry erase markers. It seems like there was a thread arguing the best brands and...

Very nice article - KUDOS!

What a vast change from the customer's original concept. To close it out with a painted sign is awesome. I can only imagine that it adds that much more charm to the environment. Nice work!

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! I'd even go so far as to say that's a brilliant idea ...and risk the public shame and humiliation of taking an easy set-up for a bad pun.

Nice weight, nice flow, bouncy, it works really well. Get a royalty for the t-shirt printing as I'd think those would fly off the shelf. As a critique, or more an observation, my eye is drawn to the negative space above the "ee" above the Bee. I'm kind of expecting something there to draw my...

How I've done that in the past with similar circumstances: I bill for designing the template as an upfront cost and note that on the invoice as such. (Design/Layout) Revisions to that template for subsequent production runs are a separate line item on the invoice. (Design/Layout or PrePress)...

Thanks for the reply. Would love to see the wireframe. I'll scour the internet for tutorials on illustrations like this every once in a while. It's usually a search for tips and tricks to speed up my workflow. Most have been good, but everyone has their own way of pulling this stuff off. So I...

Very impressive! I've been staring at it for the past 30 minutes trying to figure out your working method. There's some mighty nice gradations and attention to details that have me scratching my head. I'm an Illustrator guy. So, I'm trying to figure the crossover names of the tools you used in...

The easiest way that I've found for the customer to comprehend and make my life simple, is velcro strips on the main banner and a separate "date banner" that they change out for the following years. As you've suggested, I've worked trying the area on the banner that is reserved for adhesive...

Your sign should stick with it too!

Perfect!

I like the posters. However, like Z, the problem I've had with customers at the sales counter is arming them with too much information and too many choices. It tends to prolong the encounter. I've fared much better have actually samples under the counter to pull out as examples to direct the...

^^^This ^^^ Or use a squeeze clamp to secure the bungee to the table, too. In that way you can make it as taunt as you'd like and don't need to worry about different length bungees for different sized banners. Signmaker Dave's Safety Tip of the Day: Upon completion of the task, do not...

whew! I was concerned...

I know I'm probably thinking the wrong side, but I just gotta ask, did the Vector Doctor help you create the artwork by any chance?

Yeah, that was the thing, and why the customer was good natured about it. The customer was an Alarm Company --- install, service, monitor. The lettering added a nice shimmer during the day, and at night it would catch the attention in in cross traffic headlights and still be reasonably legible...

+1 Buuuuut, I did have a guy want his white van lettered with black reflective. I asked him what color he thought black reflective reflected? "Black" he replied. Admittedly, this is still a nomenclature concept I cannot comprehend. But, I tried to engage him in a color theory discussion to...
