I think both have major issues.... To me: -- Yours looks like a race car event -- "PROUDLY PRESENTS" is massive -- The event typeface is too space-age -- The Sponser logo is pretty big... ------- Theirs looks like they are wanting some hipster/retro look The event info is way too...

I didn't see an introduction so I have to ask... Out of curiosity, are you self taught? or have you worked at other sign shops... What is your job there besides being the boss? I'm thinking you are the main designer... Looking at your work, you have a lot of services. From your site you...

Problem with CAD programs is... You have to learn CAD... not a walk in the park. You still have to make adjustments for panel sizes and thickness, angle thickness, especially when working with cope joints. It still have to be finessed by the fabricator. When I had to do this, I did it in...

Can you give us an example? How are you fabricating these? CNC or Hand Built?

I like phone calls but they are always followed up with an email to document the conversation. That way when the clients idea goes bad, that can't say they never said it... of course it also shows when I screwed up too but I try really hard not to.

I know where you are getting at... First off, the end user or owner usually buys a sign from those places. They are allowed to install these as owner/builder. What do these places like gGranger and Home Depot sell? Bathroom signs. I highly doubt it will go over 500 bucks and they are...

I'm guessing no one ever worked at a mom and pop store before... I had to know everything... engraving, router, silkscreen, cut, print, design slap it on vinyl, install at the shop... I even had to clean up the joint. She doesn't do all of that, this is a digital print shop. Most of you are...

I think your problem is, you live in the sticks... 100 mile radius probably yields at most, 100-150,000 employable people, then how many of them with graphic or signage experience. Us for instance, we live in the sticks too but we probably have 9,000,000 employable people in a hundred mile...

A long time ago I made the mistake of criticizing a member that filled the home page with answers to printer questions and I have regretted it since. I made no attempts to make amends or understand the true nature of his contributions. I regret my criticism. Like it or not, printer issues...

What really bothers me are the exposed attachments... I'm sure a discerning goose will notice.

There is no code for that... you are right, it's more of a courtesy. When braille and tactile is used it still should follow the standards for spacing, and translation. I asked cuz I was just wanting to know why he needed braille on such large signs, and if it was an interpretive sign, why use...

What agency in particular? Is this a rogue inspector? They should get the exact code reference. Someone is either misinterpreting the ADA code OR if interior and exterior signs are being made at the same time, the client misinterpreted what they were saying. I think this needs to be...

You still have your own perspective.... But I can agree with what you are saying... we have to work with a designer for a favorable outcome.... designers, like us, want a good (and profitable) result... Many sign shops hand fabricate, sent to water jet cutters, routers, have to offset path...

Forgot to ask... What type of sign are these? Directionals? Interpretive? Informational?

First question is why is the client requesting braille on these panels? Are they required to adhere to some ADA requirement... if they are required to conform to some ADA requirement, then they might require raised lettering... What I would do is get http://www.ccengraving.net (A Merchant...

Oh geez, I forgot... I can also set up my pages accounting for bleed either by using a custom page size or scaling or output to .pdf like most printers take with the bleed taken into account. Though by that time, I'd be in InDesign...

For what the OP wanted, and in a lot of cases with multiple sign types... ummm not everything is printed, this would have worked fine...
