    Hey, a window splash! 😀 I like the cosmic bowl one, it really catches your eye, and I like the one attached to the fence, but the first one! 😮 Was the designer a little dizzy from the big dipper? 😆 😆 😉 😉 Only joking mate! Bet it took a while to get all those up on the walls though!

    Cheers, Dewi

    most of this type of work is hand in.. even the stuff on the fence 😉

    not sure what you mean about first one.. you mean running off?

    The sign on the left hand side of the roller shutter just looks a little crammed. Granted lots of information on there, just my perspective I s’pose. Mind you, I am the man that designs everything with huge telephone numbers on everything I do! 😆 😆 Not got much room to talk have I! 😉

    I thought that window design had a few layers on it, looks good though. Bet that was 100 times harder than my little window splash, it looks to be about 15ft off the ground!

    Cheers, Dewi

    they design everything and send us a vector to be cut. we work very well with them. one thing i did discover is that we are usless ate designing signs for a fair ground. sounds daft but every man to his own i guess… 😕

    They all look great I like the fence one, the colours work well together, is that all vinyl on foamex?, i.e. cream on dark cream on brown?

    hi lawrence
    the one on the fence i think was 1 of about 10. infact most signs like that one are in batches of 10 or more. so they never want it to be very exspensive, regarding materials.
    the one in the picture is on white correx. we covered it in cream then applied the various layers as shown. again, we did not design or fit these.
    we just made the signs from a file emailed to us and hended them in. 😉

    Was the artwork ready to cut? Whenever we get vector stuff from people it’s a huge mess of stroked lettering.

    hi jon. yeh mate.. its all ready to cut to scale.
    we have done work for this fairground for years now. we did start off a little shaky regarding artwork etc but after speaking with them and telling them exactly what we require they got their graphics department to sort it out for us. since then we simply get an email with the order & quantity on it and we go about putting it together. the only down side with them is they often give us only 24-48hrs to produce something like the 10 no. fence signs 😮
