    Very Nice...
  2. What topic would you like to be educated on?

    I agree, basic layout and design and how that works with the process of making a sale... How to make better presentations... Transitioning from promotional/wide format to architectural signage... When to use a stock sign, when to make a custom sign...
  3. "Can I just see what it would look like first..."

    I always refer them to my portfolio... If it's not in my portfolio (or something close to it) then I might have them google ideas to me. I think this is where Pinterest might work real well for a design business. Set up an inspiration board, and let them peruse through that only after...
  4. 2000 store install pricing

    Here is me and my son at the Lincoln Memorial... We just surveyed 3 properties and I was dog tired, but he really insisted on walking the National Mall, we're from California so this is an adventure... and a learning experience... we got to the top of the steps, my son yells out "JENNYYYYY"...
  5. 2000 store install pricing

    A while back Gigi posted a thread similar, we were looking to get involved with fabricating signs with a company that had 1800 properties. We already design for 3 of the largest property management companies. Getting a piece of that would be nice as we are close to the project already, and...
  6. Backlit Acryllic panel sign, how?

    Do they want that halo effect with it?
  7. Here's a new one! (rant)

    If it were me, I would bill the clients the going rate. The discount was for not dealing with the client.

    I hate it when you're right... I know what happens when you are right...
  9. win 10 wil be FreE?????

    Ummmm... ooookaaaayyyyyy Not that I'm smugly saying this because I have a PC as well, but Mac upgrades have been free for the last 2 updates (Mavericks and Yosemite). Would be nice to get both OS upgrades for free. Neener indeed!
  10. Professional proposals with mock-ups

    I emptied my messages... I just sent you the info...
  11. Professional proposals with mock-ups

    I was looking at it a few weeks ago thinking that subject needs a complete re-write... It's a great book if someone has never worked in a sign shop... but when you've worked at a few... you can see the flaws on his idea of what the sign business is. He has 1 new book about dimensional...
  12. Professional proposals with mock-ups

    I forgot to add, there is a book about sign presentation but I no longer recommend it publicly. He was here and had an implosion of massive proportion... it's a decent book for your needs, and might help you and your designer make better presentations. Please note it is flawed by what he...
  13. Sales checklist

    ALWAYS... ALWAYS... ALWAYS... get a landlord sign-off But prior to that... ALWAYS ASK IF THE PROPERTY HAS A SIGN CRITERIA.
  14. Professional proposals with mock-ups

    ughhhh... hoping you do more than foam signs... I forget the program that tried to combine the 2 but they never looked that good because they can't do both things great. The majority of sign shops I design for use a design program like Illustrator or Corel. Are you going out and...

    Having someone "hookup" the electrical, or install it is not the issue. -- What license do YOU have? -- What insurance do you have? -- Can you slap a UL Decal (this will be inspected) on it and be the responsible insurer (it will be asked) for the install and the site? -- Do you...
  16. Boat Transom

    Your website was a treat to see... as well as your art site and wives photography... (...reminds me, we better work on ours)
  17. New to Channel Letters

    To answer your question better... Since you are in Michigan, do you have any of the following contractors licenses in your state... -- SIGN SPECIALIST LICENSE or -- ELECTRICAL SIGN CONTRACTOR LICENSE or -- GENERAL CONTRACTOR LICENSE or, are you installing your own sign? Then the...
  18. First Signs

    Agree with the same comments, one thing I noticed was your drop shadow... they are inconsistent (see pic)
  19. I did a ba-a-a-a-d thing...............................

    You should drive through my town, that lettering would gussie up the place...
  20. I did a ba-a-a-a-d thing...............................

    That would be "V*te a la m**rda hijo de p*ta , no me voy a meter contigo culo" so it's not that... and that would be a lot more than 88 bucks... Imagine weeding that small stuff! Even on a tangential cutter it would be a pain. A fake gold tooth is cheap... So he was a Spaniard eh? No wonder...
