    Hi Fred.
    I had a play with your .ai
    Would you consider printing the Biz Cards front and back?
    That way they are less cluttered.
    Do you really need that little van on your card?
    Love….Jill

    I do a lot of work for litho print I would say watch putting a line around the edge of a card especially to close to the edge.

    If you leave say 2mm from the edge and the cut is .75mm off the cut mark the cards can look p**sed thats all.

    Also if you put a line say 2mm you loose 4mm total plus the line weight each side.

    Hi Jill,

    I like the one stroke font you used, reminds me of my days with a brush and trusty mahlstick.

    have you ever bought any of the font cd’s out of the Signcraft mag, some of those look great. I ‘m thinking of buying some, could you recomend any.

    Cheers Neil

    I have bought alphabets from

    http://www.letterheadfonts.com

    Since I am a painter, when I do a vinyl sign,
    I try to make it “look” painted!
    Love….Jill

    Yeh me too Jill
    This computer stuff can be a little to perfect sometimes
    No personality, know what i mean.
    I remember years ago when customers never asked for a drawing of how their van was going to turn out.
    They just dropped it off at the shop and let you get on with it.
    things seem a lot more hassle these days.
    Trouble is i don’t get the brushes out enough these days but saying that i don’t miss them to much in this cold weather!

    Cheers Neil

    took your rectangle (with the M.E.) and made it a diamond shape to go with the dot above the i
