Curves are ‘in’ at the moment. Look at small newspaper ads’ and you’ll see what I mean.

Thanks everyone, as autosign says newspapers, trade and glossy mags are a great source of inspiration.

Blimey Pete! 😮 Smart design! How did you find the corex to work with then?

Hi Dewi the correx or rather euroflute was good to work with. I improvised a
felt squeegie(???) and went for it. Because I applied the vinyl overlapping the
edge of the board I only had two long cuts to do in total.I ended up cutting the board with a craft knife and straight edge after some
experimenting with a hooked stanley blade, as you can gather the experiments
were less than successfull.Did you buy one of those fancy cutters? if so what d’ya think of it?
Cheers Pete

Goes to prove the old theory about size not mattering.
Good things come in small packages!

I bought the Plast-Kut from Graphic Sign Supplies and its proved to be a really useful tool. I sell alot of the free-standing corex boards with things like wet paint, slippy floor etc on them to some large companies, so if I’ve got 50 to do, the Plast-Kut saves oodles of time.
I’m not a great fan of corex-type materials, but as you’ve shown Pete, you can make some really good looking signs from it and its more than a little useful when it comes to making cheap site signs and things like that.
Anyway, give over improvising felt squeegees Pete, next visit over here you can pinch a couple from here. You’re still not having my 3m golds though 😉
Cheers, Dewi
