Honest opinion please

What about this one?

Next time try flipping the blank 180° and then you could put the pictorial in the bottom curve.
Your lettering is still very close to the bottom edge.
And the street name looks as if the text has been squeezed somewhat.
It doesn't have much flow, looks like three separate things stuck onto a sign blank.
Love....Jill

Fatboy, are you a masochist? You keep posting similar pieces with very little variety. Either you want to be hammered, or you are a passive aggressive type who wants to illicit the worst responses possible.

My suggestion is to listen to what the good criticisms that have been posted thus far, work on your pieces and come back when you think you have made real progress, not just the same type of signs.

It's way-finding and not selling Greenlawns Square, per se. (just a unifying look is what's needed.) Emphasis should thus be on the numbers, I think. And you've done that.

I'd just fix the bottom element; the decender on the q is running off the page. You want extra margin on all bottom elements .... and it look likes there's none.

My $0.02,

Jim

I don't know what a masochist is(looked in the dictionary and could not find it either) These are orders that I get on a daily basis.So I post them. Is that a problem ? I want to learn...that is all.I want to master this thing very,very badly...and I will. I was under the impression it is ok but if not and the administrator of the site tells me so I will stop posting them......until then why don't you just ignore my posts. Some people here are willing to help me.
I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed as far as designing is concerned but I bought this business a year ago and already tripled the previous owner's turnover.

Don't be so angry at life. You look like a nice guy on your profile pic. Go outside right now and just reflect on everything God has given us. See where you were a year ago and be gratefull for what you have today. Life is fun....learning is fun and if you don't enjoy teaching newbies a few things them maybe you should not be in this industry at all...no matter how good you are at it.Find that thing you have a passion for and go out and do it.

Basically, your recent posts of several signs all suffer from the same plight…… non-theme-able

You’re just throwing elements [lines, shapes, colors & textures] around with no concern for balance, continuity or aesthetics.

Your signs aren’t only lacking design values, but there is little to no attention paid to any cohesiveness. It’s more or less an eclectic array of things. Design or layout can be symmetrical like the eyes on either side of your nose….. or it can be asymmetrical balance which occurs when elements are placed unevenly, but work together to produce harmony.

Keep posting Fatboy. Check out clover signs and springvalley signs. They do house number signs in a formula kind of way. The customer picks from a limited number of elements done in a limited number of ways with a limited number of colours. It keeps the designing to a minimum.
Here is alink that has a customer driven online design feature. http://designer.my-house-sign.com/builder.html
