DESIGN TIPS

For an effective and well designed sign, the following design factors should be communicated to us when ordering or inquiring:
SIZE: Will it need to fit a specific size wall, window, door, vehicle? Please measure area first. Are there any sign regulations you need to comply with?
USE: Indoor or Outdoor?
LOCATION: Will your sign/banner need to be seen from the street, sidewalk, or as you enter a room?
MESSAGE: What message are you trying to convey? What information is absolutely necessary for a sign vs. a brochure?
MATERIALS: PVC, Corrugated plastic, metal, banner material, paper, wood, foamcore, etc.
HANGING METHOD:
Will you need holes drilled, grommets, pole sleeve, post, stand, Velcro, 2-sided tape?
GRAPHICS*: Will logo or design be provided, photos added, shadows, borders, special design or clip art?

*Graphics should be high resolution. Vector-based, Encapsulated PostScript file (EPS) format is best for professional reproduction.  JPG (or JPEG) and TIF (or TIFF) formats work well for images and logos on screen but low resolution images can severely limit the ability to enlarge the image. Image resolution in these formats should allow for 150dpi output.

Feel free to call or email us with any questions, price quote request or to place an order.
