He should go to L.A.... oh wait, we don't have a football team... >walks away depressed<

If I had to figure that out on my own, I would have wimped out... I admire the huevos it takes to add to your skills and go beyond your comfort level. Self-taught newbies have a lot to overcome, I admire the courage to take on this type of work. My philosophy is everyday I am practicing the...

I have designed them this way, precast makes for consistent finish than pour in place. I have seen them mounted with tubes and with rebar hanging from the bottom and grouted in place.... I'm not a big fan of stucco, I kinda like the raw concrete... Nice set of pics.

What Gino said... Too much of that typeface makes for poor priority reading, a layout needs some rhythm. You should start with a straight typeface, then add the goofy one for some flavor. You have too much goofy. Too much blue makes it very bottom heavy, maybe cut that blue area in half...

My gut reaction was SignComp too... That is where I would go and I believe they have their catalog online.

Do you want to learn the software? Lynda.com will take you from knowing nothing to being able to fumble with design within a short period, then you can skip to certain tutorials when needed. It is worth the price. Or are you looking to learn design? This is where it gets sticky... you can go...

What exactly do YOU do? Environmental Graphic Design, Identity Design, Code Signage, Project Management. Are you self-employed, an employee,...? Self How large of a company? Just me. What is your sign-related background? I was trained in hand lettering to computer graphics...

Just in case, I did this and found Suitcase to be buggy. Maybe it was me, but a few other designers I know had issues. I don't know if they fixed the problems, I had been a long time Suitcase user till then but I wrote off Suitcase after that, I just use Fontbook

That makes sense... Somewhere on the Adobe website there is a .pdf for helping Corel users to migrate to Illustrator...

Out of curiosity, why are you going Mac/Adobe when they have a PC version? If you work in scale, you might want to pick up the CADTools plug-in. I would think most fonts will work. The IMac is a sweet machine, but I can't stand the shiny screen. I work on MacBookPro's with the non-glare...

I was 100% sure Lexsigns was a dude.... sowwy I don't know if I can post my pic, I'm not the prettiest man....

We cool, but if you do something like that again, we're pouring gravy all over you and let loose a pack of rabid pugs... Plus really, lamer things have happened here...

Every shop, large or small that I have worked at designed in Illustrator or Corel, then sent it to a sign program like Flexi-sign. It's cheaper, it's easier to find an Illustrator or Corel specific designer, and I would never get locked into only having buggy .fs extensions on my important...

What's more amusing is, it's 3 years after that review and he is still in business... This is not the lamest thing to happen on Signs 101, but it may make my top 10...

Bigdawg comes to mind...

I have worked for sign guys and EG Designers that did this. Turn outs are spotty at best, and it's very frustrating cramming info into people with a wide skill set. I usually helped with the green designer/sign guys.

I have applied for on local one, but they were dealing with smaller jobs, too qualified, then added they could not pay well. Were not old!!! Yeah, how do you think I got certified? >nursing a hamstring pull< My resume is simple, just job experience, and only the past 4 jobs, basic...
