With spelling and pricing like that...they deserve dealing with whoever answers their ad. Let them all dissolve into a tumbleweed of @ssholes. :smile: I am down to only one a year, supply only, and I just did the last one I will ever do. Love....Jill

It's sad to me, all the arguing back and forth between people who posted on this thread aside, that you will still continue to use all-caps in a script or a display font. :rolleyes: If you only did it the right way (caps and lower case) it would take your signs from looking like those of a...

I like it, but I don't like the slanted thick/thin look in that font. Makes it look wonky...I think I'd have chosen something a little squattier and chubbier which followed the curve better. But happy for you that you got to upsell them into something you enjoyed doing! Love....jill

Gino beat me to it....never use all-caps in a script, or any display style alphabet (font) It's one of the first rules I ever learned. It's a shame, because those could have been very nice little signs. I don't usually put prices out in the open but something like that should go for about...

It looks better with the bolt inside the hand. Tagline should have the same slant as the name. Tagline would look better in a panel. Colors are a bit too muted for my taste. Love....jill

Her baby is already formed, I think if there was any danger it would be during the first trimester. I painted with leaded 1 Shot (wearing gloves) with my 2nd baby, and leadless 1 Shot (again with gloves) with my 3rd. If you're really worried...don't let her do it. Love....Jill

Try calling my "real" job: http://www.pennfence.com/ They have all kinds of things like that. I ship to sign companies all the time. Love....Jill

If he would have said that to me initially, I would have raised my price to more than double. It would either weed him out or make it worth my while to deal with him. I would rather have a reputation of being "too expensive" when he bad-mouthed me around town than have to re-do something, that...

Your red is a different color. But the guy verbally approved the proof, and left happy, initially. Is only the red stripe on his truck hand painted? The lettering looks too perfect to be hand-rendered (box truck) I would repeat to him that he approved the proof, and he left happy. Then I'd do...

I agree, I would paint the sign. It's just so much simpler and faster, even if you're not good at hand lettering. All you need are 1" foam brushes to lightly tap the paint onto the raised lettering. If you must try and duplicate using Corel, I'd tape a dollar bill onto the sign when I...

Client requested the ampersand. I may go back in and tweak the rule line.

New coffee shop coming to town. I have done signs for the owner before, not for a business but for an association he belonged to. His wife is a great baker and they are opening a nice new construction coffee shop up the street. When they emailed regarding signs, they sent me the logo, which...

I've been dealing with two clients from the same baseball association since February. They have ordered nothing to date, although I've sent them three proposals. "We have no problem with the price you're asking. What we do have a problem with is having to give you a deposit to see the design...

Turned out gorgeous. I love the richness of Nova Colors. Love....jill

Possibly Dominican from DaFont. Love....Jill

Most of the time, a simple sign works best. This proves it. The other one was pretty "fancy", but essentially useless. Just like its designer's ability. Love....Jill

Paragraphs are something that can be found above and below the Mason-Dixon line. Most people won't take the time to read a block of text. I bought $15,000 worth of new & used equipment from Advantage in 1998. The technician spent his two days of training here trying to install the printer...

You took it from trailer trash to class. Lovely. :smile: Love....Jill

I think, that they think, they are doing you a favor in bringing you the "artwork". Therefore you owe them a "good deal" I don't really have an answer. I do try to dumb it down and use regular terms rather than tecchie ones. Sometimes a visual aid is good. You could have a very small pic of...

That's an old-fashioned classic Bob Behounek style layout, you can never go wrong with that. Love...Jill PS I really miss Arthur.
