design suggestions please for this gardening sign?
Posted by Steve Broughton on August 20, 2003 at 5:45 pmJust designed this, its for a Transit Pick Up, to be made from dibond and riveted to the sides and the back, sizes 8ft x 14 in sides and 6ft x 14 in rear, the phone no.s are going on the passenger doors and the rear panel, I’m fairly happy with these two designs but want you guys to have a look and have a few opinions, fire away.

You should be ‘fairly happy with them’ Steve, they look great!

Hi Steve,
Opened the post and the top one looks abit “busy” the lower one is easier to read.
One thing I would change on the lower one is the outer outline, I would set that colour as a “true” shadow, leaving the black around the top of the letters, making the definition a little sharper, but still making it stand out from the background.
Just my opinion, it looks abit fuzzy on the edges.

I just wanted to qualify my comments from yesterday 🙂
I opened the post and looked quickly and then minimised it, that’s abit like how you would react seeing something driveby.
I liked what you have done in both but thought the lower one would work better on a passing vehicle, the top one maybe on a premises. It maybe the resolution of the pic or the fact I don’t have my glasses at work 🙂 but I thought the outline on Landscapers would be sharper using the darker tan outline as a drop shadow instead leaving the top part of the letter abit sharper.
I like the work you do Steve, and you asked for comments, and as the typefaces are quite “lively” with effects, those would have been the changes I would have made. Maybe on a truck at 6-8ft long they would both be OK, I have a 21″ monitor here and walked back across the office and thought about the shadow/outline thing.

Top one for me but I agree the flow of the text is difficult to follow. Why not move ‘Gary Clark to the bottom and Text to the top?

Oh Yeah!
Which one? Didn’t say did I.Difficult!
Bottom one in the end

Excellent Steve. They look even better “in the flesh”. Did they take you long to put together?

Nice work Steve,
It a shame that the drawings don’t always give the full picture of how the colours will look together once the job is done.

very nice ‘ar Steve… 😉 especially the halo around ‘landscapers’
more soon
