vehicle signage: Magnetic on Diamond Plate

[Shane Drew]

What can I say Jill, always nice to be in the company of a talented professional. 😎

Was that magnetic supplied like that, or did you laminate the white stuff with the metal look?

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Thanks Shane….it comes in a roll, already like that.
Costs about twice as much as the regular, but you can charge more!
Love…..Jill

[Andrew Bennett]

The last detail mag gets my vote, absolutely lovely.

printed or all vinyl please jill?

[Marekdlux]

Nice work Jill!
Paint on the first one?
Vinyl on the second?
Or all paint?

[Marcella Ross]

Jill – just been told that ‘detail’ meant getting your car valetted! How dim am I 😳 Now ‘ The Last Detail’ makes more sense to me!!!!

[Jill Marie Welsh]

😳
Aw shucks!
These are all HP vinyl, with the one for me being black reflective (shines white)
I got my diamond plate mag material thru N Glantz & son, made by
http://www.magspec.com/default.htm
Love…..Jill

[Andrew Bennett]

but were your examples vinyl or paint please jill?
ta

[Jill Marie Welsh]

The magnetic material comes in diamond plate….I have no idea how it’s made.
My examples posted here are all done in vinyl, using Calon II HP with the graphic being taken from Brian Briskie’s Skullz collection and VectorArt flames blended together.
No paint involved!
Love…..Jill

Lovely work Jill, as usual, don’t know how you are not getting enough work (even with the muppets around) the quality of your work should win the work at the end of the day.

Even with the clue I would have swore that it was paint.
Something to aspire to methinks.

Hey Jill,
What are the fonts on your mag? Really like the one of “signs”
As I and others have stated.. your talent shines! I love your layout, and your taste in fonts are top notch. I always learn from and really like your comments on fonts, as well as your choice of fonts in your design.
you rock!

I agree Steve.

One forthright talented sister is our Jill.

… and a valued asset here on UKSB I’m sure

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Steve, that’s Arthur Vanson’s Tallington Modern from Letterhead Fonts.
I usually use LHF alphabets, or the Mike Stevens ones, the Atkinsons, etc.
I try to make my work unique so it’s harder for the local cowboys to copy.
I also always try to make my vinyl work look as if it’s been painted.
Thanks for the nice words, you will swell my head.
Love….jill

[steve geary]

Thank you Jill, i haven’t bought any yet, but i’m going to soon. I have a list written down from a thread way back when you listed your favorite fonts from letterhead…. it’s been sitting on my dessk since then.
I feel the same way lately about being different with fonts, than the cowboys…. and looking like hand painted. I’m sure that’s influenced from you.
I’ll Never used Brushed again.. not that i did much, but i have in the past, and now i cringe when i see it.
I’m working on my own font, copying my script from way back when I hand painted.
Thanks again, and let me know when you’re coming over…..
You’ll have to get me your email, or convince robert to let me pm…. I emailed stevo last night, for some help, but i haven’t got anything to him yet. I’d still like to sub design to you…

[Jill Marie Welsh]

my email is
jill.the.ripper@zoominternet.net
Stevo has been quite busy designing for another Letterhead,
I’m sure he’ll reply soon.
Guess what?
I got a BIG sign job at work today!
I even beat out the cowboy that they usually use, altho I wasn’t cheaper!
Woo Hoo!
Love…..jill

[Brian Maher]

jill…
classy stuff as usual…your work is a real eye opener to the rest of us here, each of your layouts just seem so right 😉 the fonts you use look great together …… well done

best of luck with the big job today too 😉

thanks Jill, I’ll be in touch.
And on Stevo’s behalf.. sorry if i wasn’t clear – He did get back to me right away with the info i needed, i haven’t given him anything yet, because i haven’t got that far.. he’s waiting on me, if anything.
Good for you with the big job, you deserve it, and you Shouldn’t be cheaper…. you’re better!

Top work as usual.

[Carrie Brown]

Nice work Jill … and congrats on the big job!! 😀

[Vitor Brito]

Nice work!! :wow:

Take care with walls when opening door?? (note to self infact) 😉

[Leigh]

:thumbup2: top notch

[Jill Marie Welsh]

😉
Vitor, I always hit my picket fence when I open my door!
hahahaha….you can see it reflected in the truck.
I need to get that fixed.
Luckily you can’t see where my old logo took off my clear-coat when I removed it,
or that part on the bedside where I sideswiped a stop sign whilst backing up at a job site.
Love…..Jill

[Bernardo Maldonado]

take care,
bernardo

Thanks for the compliments!
You are gonna swell my poor little head!

The sign ‘Lady’….. I like that 😉

To create a bit of mystique, Jill could refer to herself as The Sign Mistress, and then she can work some nasty black leather and a whip into the design. 😮 😳 😀

Oh, I really like the new design! She’s the custom sign lady.

[Marcella Ross]

Rod, that post has said a lot about you!!!! 😀 😀 😀 no wonder you’re blushing! :lol1:

[Bernardo Maldonado]

hi jill,

i think the colors are just fine! the lettering i like too. nice combo. i especially like that orange block. it makes the whole thing stand out from the blue. nice blue. i wouldn´t mind having a pick up truck myself.

i think you´re an excellent signmaker.

all the best,
bernardo
