  1. how to start in pylon design?

    The best way is to draw something up and find you a reputable alrger sign co that will sub for you. They can answer all questions and help you design them better and you can learn tons from them. Pylons can be complicated, footings, setbacks, permits....the design is easy

  3. Do you follow a business guru?

    you just answered your own question. They exists because dumba$$es pay $400 per head. People are curious and are easily motivated to hear others stories and hope they can become like the ones giving the seminars.....truth be known they are just schooled puppets that have the art of speech

    what about friends with older kids? You cant buy better strength lol. Thats what I would do and keep it off the radar. With the labor finders do you know what your getting?
  5. Do you follow a business guru?

    I disagree and the mistakes Ive made were to be no less as if a guru had forewarned me. As far as the research they spend on collecting data to become more in depth gurus, until they KNOW the sign industry and have been in it for several years, they can offer me nothing. No disrespect to your...

  7. Do you follow a business guru?

    I listen to no one except for others that have worked hard and started from nothing. All this zig ziglar bs is for those losers in pyramid schemes and those that jump from fad to fad their whole life. These are the same people that are always posting "think positive" bs on their facebook pages...

  11. Monument Sign Help!

    you need to step your game up and get away from stuff like this. Get the peachtree design or sit down and design your own and sub it to another vendor. Not only will it look more professional it will open your ideas to more exciting layouts and endless possibilities in future projects
  12. Design not saving right; please help!

    I feel your pain! I would open just the pics on new screen in illy and export as jpg saving them at 6 or 7 in size and then place them or copy and paste on lettering art. Pics like this can really make a small item huge in size
  13. Where do I start

    Itmseems this runs rampant for state, county, etc. they all have bad art and make no attempt to get better. When i run across this I inform they need higher resolution art or the printing will be horrible. If they insist make one sign off on it and print it. I doubt they are going to pay you...
  14. Installing Long strips of vinyl

    I always measure off and then tape it off with 1/4" green auto masking tape. Lay the first bit down and lay it down by site while keeping it rolled up. No transfer tape and do not stretch it. You can always come back and squeegee it down after you lay it.
  15. Tx State House Bill 1352 & Tx State Senate Bill 803

    electrical sales makes or breaks me. If this becomes an issue for me I will surely make this known, this should affect so much more than sign companies. I would love to see the smackdown put on design agencies and architects.
  16. New Direction

    There is a reason we are self employed. We have our own rules and our own ideas. Opportunities come your way and you have to make good decisions, take it or walk away. I myself have been approached by tint guys, other desingers to buy and printer and we can "clean up in this town".......of...
  17. Paint question for Dibond

    If they are painting with latex than why coat the panels with oil based? You do not put latex over oil. scuff that damn thing up and spray latex on it, flat or satin. There is no sense in all this complicated processes to acheive this project. Latex is gonna outlast oil in longevity and color.
