How we make a sign.

July 7, 2009

This is the process of how I created a sign for Calvary Chapel, here in Cape May NJ. This video shows step by step from idea to installation how we make signs at DavidMacSigns

Enjoy (and yes that is an F-16)

trash truck 01

Probably one of the nicer (complicated/involved) vehicle lettering jobs to date. It is 6 colors (including gold leaf) with a 4 color process print in the center. … Did I mention it’s the nicest trash truck in town 🙂

Sometimes it is time to get a new sign… is it time for you? If so. Give me a shout. 609-602-4095

Today, My 2 year old foster son came with me to the shop. This was his version of helping.

He did pick (most of) them up and stack them through out the shop.

It was nice having him there.

I had to leave for a fire call while working on this trailer. My dad and friend Jason jumped in to lend a hand. THANKS.
We still made it home in time for dinner.

My dad and I (and 2 year old Bobby) did this boat this after noon. The guy wanted “simple” and I am not a fan of simple. So we met in the middle 🙂

That transom door behind the marlin was a bit tricky, but I think it isn’t super distracting.

Today I lettered this truck. Turned out pretty good. The guy liked it and is going to have me do his panel van.

He paid me a good compliment by asking if I hand painted it (which i didn’t). I really like hand painted signs and like idea of the old school style with new school technique.

Small little job I did this morning – I would have liked to have seen this been a bit bigger but it wouldn’t really fit 😦

This would be one of the “funnier” boat graphics I have ever done, so I shot a quick shot of it on my camera fone ( i gotta start bringing my camera to jobs.). The owner of the boat was really happy with it
