"Chalkart" signage: sunny’s restaurant

Posted by Pryam Carter on June 12, 2005 at 10:29 am

We did these before i did my leg in.
The lady had three of the big “Sunnys” signs, all 2500 x 1250mm, she was that pleased with the design we did she wanted to put them everywhere!!
The chalkart menu was hers too, she was well chuffed with this.

No…..
they are hand drawn/chalked and then photographed. they come as PSD images on disc, they are available in different packages through Knomad Graphics.
Fantastic images.

Excellent menu board, I have been thinking of getting the CDs myself.
I like the wood effect on the sunny one, and the board cut to match.

Well done billy

Great looking boards. I think it’s one of the best pieces of software you can spend your money on. I’ve only used it a couple of times but it one that I try and keep up to date.

Once again, Great looking boards Billywifta

PS Go and buy it Dave well worth the money.

Picked up software myself at Sign UK. Excellent images that have the appearance of being handpainted. Well worth the money. Think there are some new libraries coming out from Knomad

Cheers everyone 😀

Nigel……..
The sunnys job was a full digi print applied to a 3mm dibond.
The chalkart menu is on 5mm blk matt foambrd.
It isn’t a full print. We printed each individual section without the prices, we then added the prices after with vinyl lettering so making price changes easy to do.

The knomad software is fantastic, it doesn’t come with any cutlines so each image has to be cut by hand which is time consuming.
A tip for anyone with the software, print onto matt white or laminate with a matt, it makes the images look more authenticate than on gloss.

Really like the look of this but haven’t bought or tried it yet.
Saw them at signUK and have their details.

Nice work! Blimey, you’ve used the ChalkArt software to it’s max there! How long did it take to put together the menu board?

Cheers, Dewi

Forever……….. 🙁
She ordered it on the Monday and wanted it for the weekend…………..
“Sure…..no problem”.
What a prat l can be. Does anyone else out there do this?
Say that the customer can have it for when they want, realise it might not be possible, work all the hours god sends to get the job done and then…………probably not charge them enough.
I’ve got a degree in this stuff.
At least 2 – 3 hours Dewi is the answer to your question.

Mark,

I think most jobs I take on are priced under that particular scenario (hot) (!)
