honest?
ok
love the paint job, don't like the agm placement, and i'm not big on the solid white phone numbers,
but over all pretty good.
others here are much more qualified than i am, but i think it just needs tweaked a little.

Thanks for the honesty. I use opinions as a way to get better.

I really like the split look of the main body and the phone number very cool. I also really love the rock work with the offset piles, looks great.

I agree about the AGM but I think its the use of three different fonts for the three different elements, the AGM, the 'Signs' and then the phone number. I also agree a little more contrast behind the phone number would make the numbers pop a little more. Russ

Mike if you ask 100 people for opinions you will get 100 different opinions none wrong but subjectively different based on their "eye".

And opinions are like A-holes everyone has one! lol

So my subjective opinion, based on no real experiece is in the brown "ground area" it looks a bit empty but that may have more to do with the subject of the sign (ground maintainance) so we don't want to convey clutter for sure.

The handpainted look, looks great, overall i think you did a fantastic job.

The substrate looks like HDU. Is it? If so, did you use backer boards? HDU hung between post by itself is not good. Please tell me you laminated some MDO plywood or something similar behind the HDU panels so I can sleep well.

Personally i like signs that generate buisness . If someone needs a sign and are driving past i think they will call. While others dont like the letter placement , it still gets the point across that you do signs, contrasting colors do make things jump out more like was mentioned about the phone number, so take notes and progress from here. I must admire your courage in asking this bunch their opinion.an opinion is Just like a butt everyone has one and most of them stink.

Now Gene I was at least trying to be diplomatic when i said something similar but frankly you are right...lol

Jack, I cleaned it up so it wouldnt be so bad. I'm getting softer in my old age.

Did you build the stone monument? How about the timbers? Was wondering if this was an existing structure? Sweet!!!

Now for my honest opinion.....
The painting is pretty nice....a lot better than I would have done. I'll give you a 9.5
The "AGM" and the word "Signs" are fighting each other. If I were driving by, I would be puzzled looking at it. I would be so intent wondering why the agm is slanted (does it mean something?), that "Signs" may not even register that your a sign shop.

One other thing I noticed.....your phone# panels don't line up. That should have been an easy fix. If I were a customer, I wouldn't be happy with that part of the job.

This is a quickie (not great by any means), but not as confusing.
