	Signwriting Fortitude Valley Brisbane	Views 1519
	Signwriting with modern techniques involved the use of a computer generated file from programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, CorelDraw and other professional sign making packages. It is not recommended to use desktop software and word processing for final outputs as these are limited in sizing and color range and may alter text (render) differently to the more specialized graphic drawing software systems. Desktop systems are great for making a conceptual draft and sketch where you can email or fax the sign layout. If you need help to do this, just let the graphic design team know.

	Event and Expo	Views 109
	This is a great way to promote an event like a major sporting event in Melbourne, a World Athletics Event in Sydney or a local community event or carnival. The banner is printed in any color to suit the entire theme or seasonality of the carnival meet. Being allowed to use any colors without costing more, many graphic designers send files ready to print that include outlines, shadows in color, brightly colored backgrounds and extra large letters for the sign. It is also possible to inform us of any particular finish details for how the work will be fitted. Example, if tying to a wire fence, eyelets can be spaced across.

	Using a color and lifted Layer	Views 616
	Regularly we see the stunning visual impacts that a photograph has on a display sign and banner. A tip for making a photo totally unique is to master the path effects allowed in Photoshop or other software programs. By scanning or importing a digital formatted photo and saving into a graphic design extension, such as .psd, the graphic designer can use other pen tools to follow the outline edges of the photo and then cut it. Once cut, the new silhouette is overlaid onto a colored background. A tip for doing this is to using the filters to add a slight glow effect around the cut silhouette so that one or two pixels is blurred. This will soften the image.

	Internal roping makes a huge difference	Views 1083
	The picture on this page shows how and why a banner sign is stronger when the internal roping is continued inside the overlap the full length. It is the standard guideline followed by australiabanners so that users can confidently use in conditions outdoors. The nylon rope is a twist rope and the team seal the ends via a hot cut method. When longer lengths are required please ask prequote. The standard length varies depending on the final size of the banner sign, but in general is it approx 800mm plus upto 5000mm.

	Illustration to replace live looks	Views 604
	Lots of unique designs are created to imitate the look and feel of the product. Although this technique is supplied less and less to us by graphic artists, when it is redrawn professionally, it is such a visual eye grabber the inital cost is soon overtaken. When imitating a live product by redrawing. a tip is to pay careful attention to highlights and shadows. Make them soft by using a brush filter that blurs edges or try adjusting the opacity of the brush. For shadows, consider that most shadows will be in Grey or off black, and some will be a shadowed color of the object. To make such little details come alive use layers.

	Positive and Negative Colors	Views 468
	In this example for Sydney release, the three varieties all show a slightly different use of a positive color and negative color and combination. The white background shows a moderate colored circle and main logo that is used to fill the panel. It is a demonstration of light against light that includes oversizing. Great effect. The split variety includes light, medium and dark elements with a tailored picture. The extra large motif in the centre is powerful and will help lead the eye to what is important on the display sign. The right side has a negative color being black. This makes the motif stand out and lessens the minor text written on the sign. Great example of how three different graphic design principles and applications will help your signs. The signwriting message remains easy to read and actually leads the reader from Sign A to Sign B to Sign C etc. A great technique for getting signs read.
