Michael,

Just pick one and us it as a learning tool. Nice thing about signs is they are easily changed and updated as you grow. Point is to get your sign out there and let it do its work.

I think you are probably putting a lot of pressure on yourself to produce the "perfect" sign. I'm sure if you polled everyone here they'd tell you it's easier to come up with tons of ideas for a client than for yourself.

Just dive in with one Of Dick's terrific ideas and you'll get over your initial design hump.

Thanks everyone for your design software info. I'm waiting for a CD in the mail now, have subscibed to "lynda" tutorials and am moving forward. Appreciate the input.

Found out I can get a substantial discount on software as a teacher or student.
