A friend of mine from the Orchid jewelry forum (www.ganoksin.com) visited me from Columbus, OH. Gustavo gave me a quick lesson on sign painting and construction.(See his website at http:// beechwoldcustomjewelry.com/ Beechwold_Custom_ Jewelry.html) Armed with this information, I made my own while properly supervised by my cat Roxy Hart.
I started with a generalized layout with my logotype scaled for the 3'x2' sign. By cutting out an elipse shape from card stock I was able to draw in guide lines, then sketch the store name based on the layout.
I decided not to use the font I had selected for the text. Instead, I used it as a placement guide for the lettering (and to help me spell things right!).
