signage assorted: the tile co.

[Andy Gorman]

Some OK stuff there.

However, you have the nasty habit of working right up to the edges of stuff. For example the blue and the green signs. Also the Transit Connect is nearly very good except for the name being right on the edge of the panel.

Leave some space, man.

I will repeat the most quoted phrase ever heard on these boards: "read Mike Stevens book Mastering Layout". It really does give some great advice.

Apart from all that, keep ’em coming. 🙂

Pedant! 😮

[George Elsmore]

A pedant, or pædant, is a person who is overly concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes a show of learning. The corresponding (obsolete) female noun is pedantess. The term comes from the French pédant (1566 in Darme & Hatzfeldster’s Dictionnaire général de la langue français) or its source Italian pedante "teacher," schoolmaster, pedant. (Compare the Spanish pedante.). The origin of the Italian term is uncertain. The first element is apparently the same as in pedagogue (a teacher) etc.; and it has been suggested[citation needed] that pedante was contracted from the medieval Latin pædagogantem, present participle of pædagogare "to act as pedagogue, to teach" (Du Cange); but evidence is wanting. The Latin word is derived from Greek terms for "child" (παιδ-) and "to lead" (αγειν).

The term is typically used with a negative connotation, indicating someone overly concerned with minutiae and detail and whose tone is perceived as condescending. When it was first used by Shakespeare in Love’s Labour’s Lost (1588), it simply meant "teacher". Shortly afterward, it began to be used negatively. Thomas Nashe wrote in Have with you to Saffron-walden (1596), page 43: "O, tis a precious apothegmaticall [terse] Pedant, who will finde matter inough to dilate a whole daye of the first inuention [invention] of Fy, fa, fum"

Moi!

[John Childs]

Glad we got that sorted out. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

As has been said, don’t run everything all to the edges, and do read Mike Steven’s book.
And you don’t need "Tel:" by a phone number (a pet peeve)
But other than that better than some of my newbie stuff.
Love….Jill

although i agree and can see what everyone means about spacing, I personally think the last "bed co." van, looks good with the logo right up to the recesses. Makes it look quite good i think, on that occassion.

[Adam Ross]
