if it's matte black my guess is 3M Blockout Film...

Nice.... :thumb:

Diggin' It!

I hate that type of inspector too, or worse, you jump through their hoops and find something else they did not notice... I think like Eric alluded to, what version of NEC have they adopted? Many around here still use the NEC 2008 standard. Some clients I do work for will do what Eric...

I guess that means you are too busy to answer so... It may not be how you are marketing but who you are marketing too...

I kinda know what you do, but to be clear... since you not the typical mom and pop sign shop... What do you do? and do you install as well as fabricate? Any electrical? Any large sign (monument/pylon) Who's your target client?

There are a lot of great ideas here... I live in the same area as Angela, though we do different work. You are the sign company that comes in on top... You get them to your site but with no portfolio, does that hamper your ability to get them in the door? Gigi busted her tuckus designing a sweet...

This is a good start... the logos shown have too much going on, I think a simple - memorable logo and let the marketing materials do the talking.... When I say this I was doodling a character for a logo I'm working on and thought this looked familiar...

I don't know what logic and ADA have anything to do with each other, most blind people can't read Grade 2 braille anyway. Adding braille and tactile to that sign will add an un-needed cost. It's not required in any code (well, maybe New York) One thing I deal with all over the country is...

I actually get money to know this stuff. I thought that might get someone worked up... this might help... :bushmill: + :corndog:

I would word it "Accessible Restroom Located on Second Floor" With an ISA (International symbol of accessibility) Here is why: "ADA" and "Handicapped" copy is redundant. An ADA restroom means it's accessible. Handicap has a negative connotation and is considered slightly...

Except for signs directing to accessible facilities, wayfinding signs are not required in a building, but once they are included, they are required to follow ADA standards... Another directional/wayfinder that is required are accessible entrance wayfinding signage that include blue striping...

I used this typeface for a museum exhibit about native americans, not too campy especially if there is a lot of copy... http://www.emigre.com/EF.php?fid=99

Technically, these are ADA signs, they just don't have tactile or braille... Here is the official ADAAG code: (iii) When existing toilet or bathing facilities are being altered and are not made accessible, signage complying with 4.30.1, 4.30.2, 4.30.3, 4.30.5, and 4.30.7 shall be provided...

We don't sell signs, we just design... mostly sign systems/wayfinding/entertainment signage and graphics. We design the package and they go out to bid, or we partner with sign shops where we design and they implement it. I have done ADA production, mostly raster and a little photopolymer in...

What kind of customers? Good paying ones I hope... not the $200-500 logo clients, I mean the 1500-2000k customers. I think it would be good to figure out what you want to do, then readjust your portfolio and site to that. You can make good money on designing code related signage... though it...

What kind of job are you trying to get? Even if self taught, you have been at this for 7 years. Where have you looked to be inspired? Do you know the design process? Any designers inspire you? I think you need some training... lynda.com has great information on design. If you have money...

I don't get is... To mask an image... Open your image in Illy... or paste it or drop it in your drawing... (You have to do that in Corel) Draw your square (You have to do that in Corel) select both (You have to do that in Corel) Command + 7 Bob's yer uncle

What version do you have?

I use CadTools with Illustrator I have a template set up where my layers are assigned a different scale. That way I don't have to have single page scales. I can have multiple pages/artboards and have as many scales as I need, all color coded. If I change the scale of the drawing, I can pull...
