Just a few images to review where I left things:
The hand drawn quick-sketch to close the sale
The vectored components for client approval/revisions. She decided that my color scheme was too washed out, so we made the project a bit more vibrant. It is OK, it does work but I still prefer the washed out look. The fonts used were Atkinson French Condensed altered (NOT WARPED) in Illustrator along with Egyptian with points relocated with the Direct Selection arrow tool. The Early '55 Chevy Illustration was easily accomplished by finding a Google searched image, opening in Photoshop. Under Image menu find posterize select 4-6 colors, then under images adjust menu back-off on the saturation. save and open in Illustrator Do a live trace and you have vectors which any plotter can draw. then it is carbon paper transfer to board and paint by numbers.
All signs were double faced on Poly-Metal. Sprayed on SW SuperPaint background, All hand-lettered without masks, wth satin finish Latex SuperPaint.
After Install, handed out business cards up and down Main Street, I think I have my foot in the door in a few more shops.
