Signs: Crabby Jacks & Quality Cars
Hi…
The Crabby Jack idea came from a CD I got with SignGold,
Best of the UK Signwriters, Nigel Eyden.
I used his layout. It is a really neat CD.
The other parts are Atkinson SignPainter’s Devinne,
an Alf Becker alphabet, and a new font called Ringmaster
from that font link I posted earlier. All vynull on Coroplast.
(it’s a temporary sign for in a mall)The other sign has a Canadian flavor cuz it’s Stevo-inspired.
Vynull and painted accents on .040 ivory aluminum.
The main alphabet is a free download from Letterhead fonts called
Brewer’s Bold.

great work jill.. thanks for sharing.. 😉
a little critisism on the top sign.. (dont hit me :o)
ide say that the names at the top could have been doing with a little more space between them and the lower lines of text.. when i squint my eyes it all kinds of blends together.. 😕i think the carbby jacks should sit with space around as would the award bit.. a space below that then all the text.. reading in three stages sorta thing.. if that makes sense? should i just shut up now…? 😳
i like the general feel to the sign though.. great stuff & thanks for taking the time to post your work 😉

No problemo, Roberto.
In retrospect, having cranked that sign out this morning
(without sweeping the kitchen floor as you can see)
I noticed that there is no comma between Swordfish & Salads!
I musta weeded it away.
The problem that I see with it is this:
the top elements all needed to be CLOSER together.
To tighten them up! I laid that part on upside-down
due to space limitations in the kitchen
(not ready to heat up the garage yet)
I see a big hole between Crabby Jack’s
& Strip District Grill, and I know that there is WAY
too much copy on the bottom.
I should have just stuck my kitchen sink on it too!
Everything on that darn sign needs reduced.
Love….jill -
I think they both look fanDabyDozy!
Nice one Jill 😀
Cheers, Steve

Jill, nice work!! 😀 Good of you to keep showing us your stuff.
You could always :poke: Rob for those crits …… even though they were constructive ….. or maybe you should tell him that perhaps if he did more demos in a kilt it would add an additional spark to my … I mean our … ummmm I mean your ever talented design flair 😉 :lol1:
Only joking Rob, all crits you made were good ones 😀
Carrie …… Im off on one again eh!!! :dance4:

You’re far to kind Carrie,
I think Rob deserves:-
(:) (:) (:)
(bully) :nana:At least :lol1:

Steve I think you forgot this one :wedgey: ………. :lol1: 😉

We can’t do that to Rob tho if he is a real man under his kilt….
how can you do a wedgie on someone who is sans knickers?
I don’t mind any constructive criticism.
Just please don’t tell me that I have a big butt.
I once divorced a guy for that!
Love….Jill -
Do they make kilts in childrens sizes Jill? Robs only a wee fella :lol1:
