  • design help please with tanning & beauty lightbox?

    Posted by Richard Urquhart on July 30, 2007 at 7:01 pm

    Hi all I would really like some help with this one as I’m stuck, the sign is 28 feet long x 28 deep. I wanted to centre the gems and put the tanning and beauty part under it, now the thing is it would make the Gems text too small and lost due to the fact we really need to use the font its in. Question is it silly to use the text Gems twice ?. I did this to give the sign some balance and also to use some of that wasted space, now what I’m after is some help in text placement on this job.
    many thanks Rich

    I would not repeat Gems twice.
    Make both ends a reverse panel and put Gems in white in one and the # in white in the other, and Tanning & Beauty as is in the center.
    Maybe?
    Or alternatively, put Gems in the middle as shown, but with TANNING on one side and BEAUTY on the other, in white in reverse panels, with the # smallish underneath Gems.
    Are the other two #s on the left their street numbers?
    Love….Jill

    Something like this.
    Reverse panels are always a handy trick when dealing with long narrow panels.
    Love….Jill
