Try Mowers & Small Engines in caps and l/c Eliminate the gradient boxes and center MIDWEST, make orange rule lines on either side of that. All-caps can be hard to read. Love....Jill

In the first case, the signed quote may get you paid if you take him to court. However, you can't get money from a turnip or whatever and this kid seems like the biggest one in the garden. It will also sever your friendship with their parent but oh well...she seems like one of those "Who? Not my...

I really like the big flatbed. Love....Jill

I like it all but that part too, I try to avoid mixing two display alphabets (woulda used a simple sans serif on the volunteer and company) But with that being said....I'm sure it's light years ahead of what they used to have and it looks pretty damn sharp. Nice work. Love.....Jill

My fave thing to eat in the world (besides chocolate) is fish. I like it with vinegar. It's the only deep-friend food I eat and I pay for it afterwards, but nothing beats crispy hot greasy fish and an ice cold beer. You, sir, have good taste in food. Love...Jill (I had a cold meatloaf sandwich...

Don't click if cusswords bug you! :) Merry Christmas Mr. Potter! Love....Jill

:)

Yup I was trying to be more subtle with the cross because everybody makes the T into one. :)

A ballcap, hoodie, T shirt. Maybe even just one of those date books with your bizname on it? At my "real" job, they have little calendars (stick on) with their name and NEW LOGO which they give out...customers love them. I like the pinup versions of these that the beer distributor gives out...

It has way too much going on. Take away the fire. take away the Bible. Just use the words but not that font. It's really weird looking and also angry looking because of all the angles and all-caps. Love....Jill

Reminds me of Spring Regular that has been modified? Love....Jill

If it was me, and that place had been using the same sign guy forever, and if they were in my same town, I would submit my bid as if it was any other client. I don't like taking work from other local sign companies (unless they are a new local hack) The two other "real" local shops are...

I ordered mine from (ugh) Vistaprint. I always send to customers and even a few local competitors. And of course, family. This year my card features artwork from my mural I did this past June. Love....jill

If it was only one layer maybe $50 would be OK but reflective is costlier to use and I do hate working with it. You gotta change out your blade etc. Even if it is a leftover scrap the customer doesn't need to know it. Pre-layering it may cause bubbles so be careful. Love....Jill

I'm sure you will get a lot more work from this. Just don't tell anyone what it cost the client...it's none of their beeswax. :)

I would definitely use fitches or you will be there forever. Keep a can of water nearby to store the brushes so they don't dry up, and clean them often during the job. I am not a huge latex fan but I think you would be better served with that. What about Nova paint? They use that on walldog...

That's really nice. Next time try my method: Pen plot if you can't freehend (I freehand) Tape paper to inside, like you did. Trace with a blue Stabilo pencil. Go over the Stabilo with Kilz latex primer...the blue pencil bleeds thru as your guide. Let that dry then block in your colors. (I use...

Even my kids point out bad kerning. I feel signs sometimes. It's in my blood, I can't turn it off. I bore regular people with talk of fonts. Whenever the NBC Sports logo comes on the TV screen I holler "My friend Chuck did that script!" Hahaha Hey it's good that you care. It's the first step...

I try to sell by the advertising value of something as well. I might have only about $25 in paint for a window lettering job but there's no way I'm doing it for $50 or even 3x50. It seems to me like you are always trying to second-guess the price of every job you do, to try and squeeze another...

I give cookies at Christmas to anyone who does any kind of routine service for me (sign supply delivery guy, UPS, mail lady, garbage man, school bus driver) I can never afford a money gift but I do make good cookies. Love....Jill
