Journal of Design Proofs
How does the design process work when you order a sign from SignSpecialist.com? Below you will find our running journal of designs and sign specifications for Magnetic Signs, Banners, Yard Signs, Metal Signs, Temporary Signs, and Truck Lettering. These are actual orders from previous customers.
Our journal is updated daily with new designs. We only post in our journal the initial layout designed to the customers specifications. By the time the sign goes in production, many times, the design has changed dramatically from the initial proof you'll see below. Such is the nature of the design process. Never-the-less, this should give you a good feel as to how we and our customers design custom sign orders. If you have any questions, as usual, let us know - we'll be glad to help.

Hello. Thanks again for your recent order. Attached you will notice a layout for your truck lettering idea. Let me know what you think.
Keep in mind monitors vary GREATLY in the way they display colors. If an exact color match is needed, samples can be mailed right out.
First image shows the specifications mentioned. The second image shows 3 shadow choices. Let me know what you think. You mentioned chrome or silver. Chrome is beautiful, but is also ‘high maintenance (requiring monthly waxing). We also have, as another option ‘metal flake silver’. Very durable but yet has the appeal of chrome. Again, let me know what you think.
If you have any ideas, changes, or suggestions let me know and I’ll send another layout. Once we get the final ‘go ahead’ your lettering will mail within 1 working day. If you have any questions let me know.
Thanks
Toby
