Brad gave the best advice, read up on those subjects, especially Mike Jackson's book. Second, s sign has a job to do, keep it simple and legible, what looks good on a computer screen doesn't always work in real life. Oh, and if you ask questions here have a thick skin, lots of angry keyboard...

His first one is a rip off of an existing design and his second one sucks , makes no sense, what with the giant D and the illegible scrawl that supposed to be claws. At least your simple one is legible, but the claw marks remind me too much of Monster Energy. I would make sure your billing is...

They were absorbed by a junior college and then disappeared. They had a two year sign programs and a 2 year illustration program. It was in an old brownstone near the Public Gardens. One floor for each year
