First Portfolio Post Here

[RadicalDesignHutch]

Hey everyone! Haven't posted anything on the portfolio board yet. Things are gearing up for the Kansas State Fair right here in Hutchinson, KS and this customer wants to have his signs replaced before the fair starts. His 2 old signs are 4' x 16' Nu-Alum that have been up for about 10 years. The vinyl on them are shot to say the least. There was no protective trim done to the sides of the Nu-Alum so they are warped pretty rough. The new signs we're finishing up with here at the shop are 2 - 4'x8' 1/4" Alumacorr panels that we will trim with 1/4" white edge cap. He wanted to freshen up his image a little bit so I brought in the old with the new. I'll update this thread with pics of the other sign and the completed job.

Have you talked the bookstore next door into a new sign also?? That one looks pretty shot as well.

really?

One step ahead of ya lol. We were contracted to replace both signs due to both businesses being at the one location. Here's a pic of the new Gospel Book Store sign. Just finished it up.

Pat the 1/2" white edge cap would work great on it. I would use silicone to anchor the edge cap on because the 1/2" doesn't fit quite as snug as the 1/4" does on 1/4" Alumacorr

I really like that one. What color red is that?

I like the way it came out would like to use that color on a piece I am working on. Unfortunately its not going to be near as nice as your piece.

Adtechia.....I have 2 shades of darker red on that. The Lightest is C: 26.3% M: 100% Y: 100% K: 36.1% The Darker Red in the box with the Bibles verbiage and in the scrolls in the bg is C: 26.3% M: 100% Y: 100% K: 47.1% Hope that helps you dial in that vibrant darker red. I printed these on a Mutoh Valuejet 1304 @ 720x720 dpi.

Thanks. I don't have a printer I sub out that work. But that darker red is what caught my eye. I been looking for just the right shade to use on a project and thats the one. Thanks again.

I noticed my picture of the first one really didn't show much detail. Here's a portion of the design to show you the detail that the sign has on it.

Very nice!!!

Thanks Blue Fish!!! A little background on the customer. He's an older Mennonite gentleman and wanted the signs to keep the old fashioned look. I was able to talk him into somewhat modernizing the Gospel Book Store sign.

nice work, looks like an easy install too!

Nice job and layout. Only critique would be use of scripts for phone number, but it's minor point. Very nice design.

 

[RadicalDesignHutch]

Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone. Signs will be installed either tomorrow or Saturday....will update when I get pics.
