2012 Sign Making Tips and Improvements!

[oneidea2112]

Ron Paul 2012

HA HA, obliviously this guy hasn’t a clue on what is takes to pump out 346 signs in a night. (our best). I am not a braggart but we were consistently churning out 250 every single friday from about august to december 2007. We were going through more than 5 gallons of paint in a night. Like painting a house in signs. I wonder how many they made last time for the 2008 election. I lost count after 3000!

This type of design this person is suggesting works and we use it, however when you are pounding them out it DOSEN'T HOLD UP. Plus you have to store them and keep everything together. We had about 20 different designs Every activist has a different way to do EVERYTHING. I use the KIBDFSAC method: Keep It Brain Dead Freaking Simple And Cheap. These guys can mess around with all this complicated crap and I know what I will be doing. It just seems like someone who wants to have everybody do it THEIR way.

And the colors ha ha ha OMG, you have a white background you use black. Black Background you use white, these are the most visible colors. We would throw in some red or whatever was donated or we got for free for artistic flair.

And the stencils we already go them made… they are the EXACTLY the same ones we used in 2007 and 08.

But you know what I like the idea of starting up the paint guns again before he actually even announces.

So, there's no room for ideas or improvement? It's bad to use different colors? We have to use the stencilia font - and everyone has to agree that you know the "best" system? I've heard a lot of neocons use those same arguments against Ron Paul during the last debates

You may have been some of the first to design the R3VOLUTION signs, and more power to you. But my ideas are not meant as an offense. Some of us worked just as hard in our own ways. But anyway....I can take it. Competition is good

I do have another idea on how to get away with using the stencilia military font. Do you want to hear it? Ok, those who don't like different ideas - feel free to close your browsers now.

Ok, I was thinking of the fact that fine wires can be used to either be epoxied or screwed to stencils to hold the floating areas in the R's, P's and O's in a Ron Paul logo. Fine wire won't show when you spray over it. The only issue is over time you need to wipe the wires so paint doesn't become thick on them.

Plus - I was thinking that you can make stencils modular. Instead of making one sign that constantly says Ron Paul 2012 as part of it, utilize different message stencils that can be placed on the same Ron Paul stencil frame each time. All you'd need is a frame with velcro to swap them out quickly.

So something like....

4 JOBS!
Ron Paul
2012

NO IRS
Ron Paul
2012

Just make stencils that you can plop on top of Ron Paul 2012.

I think the more ideas and discussion the better. For certain the Phoenix guys have more experience than anyone and it's good to have them commenting here.

Onward

Please keep the following comments in mind when it comes to sign waves. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. There may be some things that NO SIGN can accomplish, despite its design:

For those that are new to the forums, Mr. Bydlak was the Fundraising Director for the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign:

As an example, canvassing is something of critical importance, and in my opinion, trumps the benefits of things like sign waves.

We know things like sign waves, while fun, are largely ineffective, but even handing out literature isn't as important as getting involved in the party.

I do too.

How about saying, "Run Ron Run!"?

Starting to work on my signs.... created this for the stencil and cutting it out now. I will post a thread later once we get the first signs done.

the only reason people had to make so many damn signs was because the campaign was behind the curve and really the RP supporters were campaigning way earlier than any other candidates supporters. Ideally the campaign will have signs they want ready to go when RP announces and we won't waste a million dollars this time buying bullshit from online opportunists selling stickers for $3 a piece and signs for $10 a piece.

Greedy capitalists!
