A chance to make a banner! Need a favor

[Vinylman]

Here is something I put together to show you what a digital print might look like.

Make sure you have enough negative space around the layout. If you're using stock premade banners and you have a 3'x4' banner, then the actual size after hemming is 33"x48' ( if you're using 3' material). You have a 1.5" hem all around the outside, so your actual imprint area is 30"x46.5". I usually start with this imprint size so I know that my design won't go into the hem area.

As long as you are putting on a Christmas cantata, why not say so? How will I know it's not just another Christmas church service?

 

[Gino]

Just don't abbreviate any words. You're lookin' good so far.

 

[Drip Dry]

Shouldn't the banner say " Christ is Coming"

 

[jiarby]

Show them the cut vinyl ones and a printed one and they will prefer the printed ones...
As long as you lay off the carbon fills as Jill advised!

Hey Jill... that white text in yours reminds me of Mario Puzo "The Godfather" for some reason.


Here is a quickie using a juicedrop & christmas script

Maybe they didn't invite him.:Oops:

 

[Jillbeans]

jiarby that is really swell looking.
Font I used is an old LHF, Ambrosia.

Firefox - saw your post and said, "Oh, no! That's what I forgot to do!!" Then I remembered, we don't have to invite Him. It's at His house! bahahah!
Jiarby - didn't notice the Godfather font. LOL! I liked it. I like your design, too!
Gino - Thanks!
I'll add "cantata" if it doesn't crowd the rest too much. Good point!
Got to go do the family Thanksgiving dinner now. Hope to work on the banner more this afternoon! Thanks again for all of the suggestions!

 

[jiarby]

I don't think that it was exactly the godfather... but it felt that way!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It's at His house! bahahah!

Jill - nice layout and great use of space. I always see people stuffing too much info on every square inch of space and it ends up looking like a wall of text.

There really IS a font called "The Godfather" and also one called "Corleone". http://www.fontspace.com/category/the+godfather
TOO FUNNY!! Not as pretty as the one Jill used.
