Make sure to put a black outline around the red letters so they really pop off of the blue background.

Congrats on your success! I think there is some hostility because you're being successful in this business without all the overhead and headache of owning a shop. To me, that's just smart. I know of others doing the same thing. They do well with it. Some of us are craftsmen, others are salesmen.

Ahhhh....thank you! I totally missed it

I just shed tear for humanity. And no more portfolio section? So it seems like if we don't have a printer head issue, need a font identified, or feel like going on a racist rant, there's no point in coming here anymore. ;)

Welcome! First tip, never use the word 'Sticker' to describe your products.

Nice work (except for the music in the video, but that's another topic). Your method is exactly the way I do it. Starting with straight lines changed to curves will give the cleanest final product. No autotrace will be as precise and clean. On some stuff that isn't crucial or will just be...

This is what makes me nervous about the sign industry. The business is changing fast. A lot of the stuff we make is going to be much easier for the end user in the future. CNC Routers, Lasers, Vinyl Cutters, 3D printers are all readily available at low costs.

Thanks! It's aluminum leaf.

Yep, they're all HDU

And one I just completed today...

more....

Been playing around with doing some V-carved signs using traditional chisels and vinyl stencils. I may have posted some of these already.

I need to recreate this and hoping to find the font...

Agreed. The easiest way is to do your work in scale, then output the final at full size. This is when you convert to curves.

Hey Jean Try converting the fill in the file itself to an RGB color before exporting.

Anyone recognize this one?
