Crap... can't help it. Okay... what does the "what not" mean... you can do vehicle lettering/wraps, most banners and some window lettering. Blueben probably has the wrong classification for the type of signage you are going to deal with: You need a D61 Specialty License-D-42 Non Electrical...

I use Si's philosophy if I am not busy.. if I am swamped, I turn into a design snot that wants to get paid (even if it's a stock stop sign)

You can try MOZ metals for perforated materials... they also have perforated with corrugation. If yoo do call them, make sure they know it's an exterior application. http://www.mozdesigns.com/ You should also google it, there are probably hundreds or metal suppliers in SoCal that have perf...

If this is exterior, plex will look like crap after a while... I have done long stud mounting, but it's a pain in the butt. Letters are looking a little small, Have you tried superimposing this on a photo to see if the lettering gets lost in the background? Another thing you might try is a...

Jhill is correct.. Wrisco is one... looking through my books Alcoa's Reynobond is another.. there are a few more but those can be a bit more than a higher grade, thin sheet brushed stainless laminate. (at least the prices a have seen in the past)

I have called Chemetal at one point a few months ago because a client of mine took a job using a Chemetal Laminate for a complete apartment signage sign system (against my recommendation). Over 150 k worth of signs, they insisted interior use only for all their products. This is 1 year after...

Just a bit of warning on Chemetal - they only recommend interior use only. I hear people spraying a clear over it, but have seen that fail too. http://www.chemetalco.com/documents/Chemetal_2009_Tech_Data.pdf (check out page 2) You would be better off using a higher grade stainless steel as...

Um... The 600 dollar post and panel is the mid-line solution... The 50 dollar stop sign is on the extreme low end (and probably not compliant) and probably not worth being considered by a client of a mid to high end property. If you are dealing with onesy twosy signs, it's gonna cost no matter...

If it were me, I would do a rout out face (maybe even with push thru) and halo and face illuminate that sucka!

Looks like "DIN Engshrift" with a slight stroke to it

If it's in a pathway, the sign must be 80" from the bottom of the sign no matter what material, this is generally a building code thing. On using aluminum, if it's 80", you do not need to worry about kids or corner rounding. If it in the brush, bushes, planting, you generally do not need to...

Well, there was a reason I asked... I don't know why, but there is no book that is specifically low end brochure (tri-fold, single fold or page type), postcard or business flyer design. I was involved in a discussion about this about 2 years ago with a group of designers, they were just as...

One question... What type of brochures? The single page type mailers most small business and sign shops use or the nice multi-page ones?

Nice... I likey...

I figure it will never going to be the best one out there... lame comment and not part of the criticism process. Um, and I did give you a suggestion... research business cards. --Here is another one... do not listen to everyone. Worst thing you can do is design by committee, I can design a...

I think it's no better than you started, and homogenized by committee... I would research good and unique business cards... http://www.flickr.com/photos/dailypoetics/sets/72057594104389710/ http://www.underconsideration.com/fpo/archives/business-cards/

I'm pretty sure there is a large majority of people on this site are not full time sign people... A guy with signs on a vehicle does not make him the industry or the competition.. and if he is, better find a more discerning client.

A fat, crabby old man, with a bad ticker, who smokes and drinks too much, that talks way too much about the glory days is supposed to belittle you into it... and thats only after cleaning his brushed for a few years... This was brought up before and some scoffed at it.. I believe there is some...

You can do it with dashed Strokes in Illustrator, then "expand" it if it needs to be a vector.....

Most agencies are sleazy? It might be more true that most sign shops do not cover their butt good enough.... What did your contract say about cancelation and kill fee? How does your contract cover your butt? If it has no cancellation/kill fee, why not? Cover your butt. Most agencies use the...
