Architects should start out as signguys...

dont ADA signs need to be all caps as well?

I was going to comment on that, but he is in Canada. They have their own accessibility standards...

gothcha, eh.

No they need to be all caps here as well, the braille should also be grade 2, but who am I to tell the architect how to do his job.

Umm, yeah, it is your job, and it's fun too...

most of my architect work came from correcting them and now i either review their signage packages, or design them.

Use it as an opportunity to cover their butt and offer your services, some architects are cool, and most pay very well.

You should try working with them clowns ( the Architect) in the concrete construction business, for a long time.

screenshot of the chaos all unmasked and unclipped and de castrated! I hope he had one hell of a computer all this would have shut mine down and made the monitor explode. all the striping was done with lines and strokes

Wow that does look bad.
I'd request a site visit to the studio and while the architect is demonstrating his vector "skills" drop one of these down the back of his pants.

Looks all choppy, like it was designed on AutoCad..

My first thought, "wonder what Cad program is responsible for that". +1 to Rick.

I'm just ranting a bit, I always make sure to tell all my customers that their signs might not meet code. It's difficult here because we don't have actual laws in place for directional signage for people with disabilities, we just use the ADA specs, so from a legal point of view, these signs are fine, but if they are going to spend the money, they may as well do it right.

Any particular reason it isn't being printed on something like phototex and wall wrapped instead of pounced and painted? Seems like the art is outside the scope of the process...

As i said I now heard they are foregoing the painting and thinking of going with prints. As I said I cant wait to see how he sets his files up to match his sherwin williams colors cause that sample I did was NOTHING like the colors in his art. maybe he will think twice before designing some more crap like this
