Full disclosure, we supply design services to design shops, whether it's logo/ID creation to signage design of large retail/apartment/corporate projects. 1.) Turn around time. Has it been your experience that the deadlines are met reliably? We find that turn-around times are often affective by...

Is that a Room ID? How many are you replacing? If this is a room id, then they are required to be ADA compliant. (Tactile letters and domed braille) This is a fairly simple sign to replicate... 2 pieces of acrylic, second surface apply the number, backspray the header and footer, VHB the face...

I agree with GaSouthpaw... I also think... -- The colors on the mountain are too light... -- The typefaces look too "signshop" -- I'm assuming this is going on a sign, the copy running through the mountains would be hard to see -- Putting MOBILE HOME PARK in an enclosure might work with a...

It may not actually boil down to the inspector but the lawsuits that come about by lawsuit hungry lawyers and their clients looking to settle for a quick buck. In California, it's a $10,000 fine for each violation... that fine is levied on the building owner, then the building owner sues the...

I worked at a shop that used a 2 x 2 Multicam where they made a custom mount for an engraving head. I would even out the spoil board with the router head, then with the engraving head make marks for sign placement on the board and then carefully taped 8-10 signs at a time... find my '0' point...

It's my understanding that if they required an eased/domed edge that engraving allows, that it would be preferring one method of fabrication over another. My beef with that advisory is what constitutes sharp... if the letter can draw blood? Obviously that would not be good on any sign. I think...

Though it is preferable for the tactile to have eased edges... nowhere in the ADA code is it required. It's the braille that is required to be "domed"

So I'm guessing its offensive to say this bus wrap designer has a small staff?

I wanted to use Philistine but it was inappropriate for the situation... I was just reminded that the thread is called "lazy" designer... now, you can call me lazy, don't ever call me a nimrod! Gotta make you wonder...

I didn't realize Gino and Butto were so sensitive...

And yet here both of you are calling me out... you have been waiting for this... and y'all like the drama...

Hey, John Joseph Butto!

Nimrod = Inept = amateurish, unskilled, incompetent, unskilled... it fits, especially if public money was spent on it... Since you (Gino) and John Butto kinda run this forum, I'm afraid my "clique" will be no help to me...

Don't call my mom!

Nimrod!

I always tell this to sign makers who are employed..."you are in charge of your career path" Same goes with your business, Don't rely on anyone to give you a break, especially your cheapskate employer. The "economy" excuse does not cut it... not with that kind of experience, the only thing that...

Wait a sec.. So, you have been doing this for 8 years and only make 13 an hour? And you were still able to purchase a home?

To the OP... I assume you work for a sign company with aluminum fabrication and finishing capabilities. If so, MDO face would not be my go to substrate on a permanent sign sitting on the ground.

This is how I would design it...

I mostly use Illustrator... This was done with a drop shadow, outer glow, a layer to simulate night time... this sign shows dual-lit - animated in Photoshop
