Great looking sign Bill!! Too bad they wouldn't let you do that dimensionally; that would have been killer.

Nice, Could you please, please, explain how you layed out the background. The stripes with the faded edges. Very cool. Was it in Corel?

Nice work.

More money for you. Nice Work. Posted by Raymond Chapman (Member # 361) on :
Very nice, Bill. Just a suggestion...I would have left a little more negative space and made the border a little wider (also mentioned by others).
Also...would have reduced the size of the phone number.
Great layout, very nice colors.

Thanks for all the comments and critiques. Sometimes I get carried away and forget about a little breathing room.
John That background takes about 30 secs to do in Photoshop. I did all my shape and lettering design in Signlab the Export each layer I want to PS. (The finished sign is 28x48 so I work at 1/2 scale@300ppi As for the Background I exported the stripes and the Blue back as one layer. Once in PS make a duplicate layer then Ctrl+Select that layer and use the feather command set at 250 then go to Select/Inverse and then fill with your Fade color This case was just Black. Then Ctrl Select the original then select the fade Layer with the hard line selection and inverse your Selection and hit delete. All that is left is the feathered black within the sign
