  • can anyone help with lighted sign design please?

    Posted by steve geary on November 2, 2005 at 2:02 pm

    the single pic is exactly like the customer’s business card. This is what she asked for on the sign. Black and white.. maybe some red. It’s a 3′ x 4′ light box, flat panels, white cabinet.
    the four variations are what i came up with, but i’m having a hard time liking the layout… any and all suggestions welcome.. please
    thanks
    steve

    The 4th one is Ok but I think everything is a bit crammed. Perhaps a bit of variation would help, like a second font for the contact info? Also, how do you spell “therapeutic”?

    Maybe I could incorporate Andy’s “halo” effect somehow???
    that a stretch now isn’t it??

    That damn University Roman…how I hate it.
    I dislike the lower case “s” in “style” too.
    Perhaps a variation on #4, I do like the use of a black panel,
    but that font is too weak…maybe Optima?
    All caps too.
    Please try to talk her out of that weird phone number too!
    Love…..Jill

    Steve can you convert your fonts to curves/paths so they come in – I can’t even get the phone number to show properly either 🙁

    thanks evreyone… sorry Leigh, had to put this aside for a while. I have the wall of my shop ripped apart to make my Bay door Taller.
    I have the customer coming in this afternoon so…. i have to get back to it soon.

    Jill, Great layout! You are one talented lingerie model. I’m going to push your idea. I’ll send you payment. Do you have paypal? I’m serious. you should start Jillbeans Designwise on the site… I’m so busy lately, i could have you do all my layouts. For some reason, i have a bunch of Carved foam and sandblasted signs come in in the last two weeks. Good jobs, but eating up a lot of time.
    wish you were closer….

    Thanks
    steve

    Jill,

    Steve is right! I was thinking the same thing the other day when I saw your layout for the Squeezed oranges. You should start an online design service.

    Like that layout too Leigh! Not sure if pink has enough contrast tho.

    Maybe you & Jill should start a UKSignboard Calendar Girls Design Service!
