Flat Cut Letters: Station House

[Glenn Sharp]

Matt…it’s always good to get a job like this under your belt…confidence grows as does your portfolio..

I’m sorry but I’m going to be critical……. the line spacing looks cramped on the main sign….it looks like there’s more spacing between the letters than there is between the lines.

I would have dropped the "free house" text further off the name aswell

It looks better on the smaller one but I think it could still have had a touch more space between the lines

Customer is happy though so he’s the one that counts

thanks for your comments, i agree totally, the free house is a little close, I dont remember being that close when i laid out the design in flexisign, but there were some template issues, as is want in the middle, but i didnt alter the vertical spacing though. Its all good tips for next time though.

The spacing is a bit off but it is well readable.
Here’s a stupid question:
What is a free house?
Love…..Jill

[Matt Hards]

thanks for going easy on me jill 🙂

a free house is a pub that has no particular franchise, i guess is the best way to put it, they are not controlled over which beers they can sell etc.

i think i have explained that right,

[Glenn Sharp]

a free house is a pub that isn’t tied to one particular brewery…..It can have the beers & lagers it choses….

I think 😕

[Glenn Sharp]

Matt got there first 🙂

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Damn I thought it meant free beer and I was just about to book my flight!
Love…..Jill

[Matt Hards]

I didnt know either, I was trying to get a 7 bedroom house in the back of my van 😛

also just as a rough estimate, how much would u guys charge, or how long would you estimate to fit these?? just to see what im up against, lol

(out of interest where was that sign?)

[Matt Hards]

thanks for the comments guys, and thanks nicola, for that last comment especially.
The way i see it, criticism is good. I am only 22 years old, I have been doing only nearly two years now. As I said I learnt a lot from these boards. and You guys are the people who inspire me. The people who have big thriving businesses, doing good quality signmaking, thats where i want to be. I love doing this job, even though i have hard times with not much work, the times like now when im stacked out, easily make up for it, and prepare me for the day when i will be stacked out everyday hopefully 🙂

forgot to say, sign was in Northiam, in East Sussex, about 20-30 mins from my place. The pub is on a railway crossing for a steam railway, saw and smelt the trains going by all day, nothing like that burning coal smell.
