I see the guy on the chaise lounger, but is that someone up on the roof sunbathing ??
He's got a hat and a shirt on... he looks more like he's got a gun next to him, and he's waiting to pick people off.

That's Jim Lahey, trailer park supervisor.
It's actually Randy's hiding spot. Lahey's actually passed out behind the thing, dreaming of how shit leopards get their spots.

Overall, you can easily tell this isn't a mansion in the ozarks. Take for instance, the squarefootage of the house exceeds that of the land. Not to mention the wheels still on the bottom trailer. Everybody knows those disappear overnight, always the same night that Jeb gets new tires on his camaro.

He approves it and then 3 hours later texts "Don't order those signs!!"
Which is why I sit on "approved" jobs for at least 24 hours. I've gotten way too many "Looks good" email approvals, where the next morning there's an email waiting wanting to change something. The times something already has gone to production it's so satisfying to say "Sorry, too late" when they want changes after approving. The average person's attention span continues to drop and degrade, along with IQs.

But back to the OP, the first layout with big, bold letters is the best. I see so many yard signs driving around that are 100% unreadable and ineffective. Like, you'd have to get out of your car and walk over to it, and put your glasses on to read it....which nobody is going to do. The curse of Vistaprint templates!

My first AI image... after a bunch of attempts to get an old lady with reading glasses trying to read a yard sign, it spit this out and I had to give up. This AI crap is beyond dumb.

Apparently there is a touch of skill, dare I say talent, to generating text to image AI photos. You're bad at this. Good grief, even Gino could do better than that.

Red on black reads quite well on a backlit billboard but not on a reflected light sign. Even a tomatoe red lacks good contrast. Has anyone else considered that issue?

"Looks good" "That's great", etc. are not approvals, they're commentary. I've always asked for a specific "Yes, proceed" for an approval. All of my clients knew this and cooperated because they knew that I would do nothing until I received this approval.

Arial - it's almost helvetica
I have chatgbt plus and Bing seems to spit out some pretty decent stuff. The main issue I have is everything is square. I wanted to do a wall wrap for our shop wall and can't get it to work where it is wide enough. They have uncrop features which uses ai to stretch the image but it gets wonky

What site do you guys do this AI stuff on? I have a few things I would like to test out LOL
Since we have the adobe creative suite, I use the text to vector generator in illustrator. I have also used generative fill in photoshop and played with firefly. My avatar was generated with bing I think.
