David Mitchell : My recent Sign Work

[David Hammond]

Nice work, are they mainly produced with cut vinyl rather than printed graphics?

[Robert Lambie]

quote David Mitchell:

David, yeah pretty much all simple cut vinyl, my BN-20 is 90% doing garment transfers!

although the Lugar football Badge and the Sports hub logo was print, cut laminated.

:thumbsup: Hat’s off for doing it all in cut vinyl, I quite enjoy doing a bit of layered vinyl, but usually end up printing and mounting due to time constraints.

My only critique is I can’t see a Giraffe anywhere :awkward:

A good selection of work there, good classic layout for Bradford

Only one real critique on a few of the panel signs (SP/Town head), the bottom margins are a bit small compared to the spacing mid-sign.
I find it more visually appealing when (unless it’s a design ‘feature’), outer margins are larger than the spaces between lines or the words as it stops it looking like it’s too big/falling off the panel.

I knew that if I moaned enough other people would post!

I think i understand dave,

how would you or anyone else advise on this sort of sign, where, they ask for a certain size of board, and due to the logo it will leave a lot of space either side? i’ve fell into the trap of making it as tall as possible to take up as much of the board as possible.

i have purchased the mike stevens layout book around 8 weeks ago it just hasnt arrived yet :O

Cheers everyone 🙂
