Donny M. Carter Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Just wanted to share my new f.m. sign with everyone. Soon I will be building the rest of the sign and will post pics. I think it is awesome, what do you think? Attached files
jfelix Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I like it. Did you draw it and paint it up yourself? It looks as if it was done by a pro. Great job.
Donny M. Carter Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 It was designed by my wife, then taken to a sign shop and printed on vinyl. I will attach it to Lexan and backlight it.
Dan C Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Wow, that sign looks great.Any chance I could get you to make one for me for my station?Honestly, I would pay you.

Donny M. Carter Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 I will talk to my wife and see what she thinks. She is a retired Graphic Artist and I seem to be her #1 client. It was created it PhotoShop. I found the background at a free site online and then she did her magic. The sign is 24"x 36" and will be backlit. It was printed on clear vinyl at my local sign shop. I had two signs printed because I wanted one for each direction of traffic flow. I will post soon her response to the idea of doing more.

jbzeus Posted June 27, 2010 Posted June 27, 2010 Nice signs! I have some Photoshop skills and need to create a sign. Where do you find nice backgrounds for sign making? When I search it seems all I find is junky stuff. Any sources, ideas?Thanks!
Donny M. Carter Posted June 27, 2010 Author Posted June 27, 2010 Look for wallpapers. We just searched images from Goggle and found plenty. Make sure the resolution is high, that way when you blow it up it still looks clean.
