I have a few designs already, but i'm looking for more.
We are getting Ron Paul on the ballot in Louisiana along with barry goldwater, jr.
I'd like to have a few signs with me to take to minnesota.

Please help me with designs of your own, or at least point me to examples of other signs that will help in deciding what designs i will go with.

Paul/Goldwater 2008.
 
What sizes are you looking at, number of colors (standard is 2 or 3), and why sort of print process were you planning on using?


ETA - PS - I'm actually pretty good at this sort of thing. ;)

I would go with 2 colors. its cheaper.
And I was thinking about getting a local print shop to print a few signs on chloroplast to bring to the rally.
Maybe use the designs if we can raise some money to promote this ticket.
 
A person wouldn't even have to design a sign if they can point me to an example of a really cool yard sign. I could ask the guys to model the sign after it. though they may charge me extra if they put the design together.
 
awesome way to go, gunny i need your help in a project after the convention if they nominate mccain .Id like to produce an ad against mccain and for anyone but mccain encouraging folks to vote ,just not for mccain and make it so anyone grassroots can run themselves or thru a pac. I want the gop to understand blowback in its simplest terms..

you think we could make a good ad for this? i would be willing to purchase and run some ads and hopefully we could get a pac behind this ad so we the grassroots can can fight back this gop corruption...................
 
I'll have several designs -- here is a rough draft of the first one I am working on:

Errr, that posted kinda HUGE. I'll go back and shrink it and edit this post with the smaller file. And oh yeah, the colors look kinda faded, but they aren't. That's just the CMYK to RGB conversion making it look that way.


Standard 2 foot by 4 foot; 2 colors on white background - CMYK or Pantone (print process depending); 144 DPI (600 DPI source)

I'm sure we can work something out. might be best to meet in St Paul to discuss it, if you are going. you will be able to e-mail my cellphone at [email protected] wherever I am at. 8-)
 
OK, flagsign is in final, but Liberty and Constitution are still in rough. Will need higher resolution statue of Liberty to make Liberty sign look right. And will need to spend good time cleaning up "We The People" to make Constitution sign look right.

Here is what I have thus far:

I'll send the original with all 3 at full res to your e-mail. Let me know what changs you want made and which sign(s) you want, and I'll clean/change them up today and tonight.
 
PDF sent to your hotmail acct. the roughs should be good enough to decide what you like -- and once cleaned they'll look a lot better.
 
You need a "blacker" font for the names, they get a little lost on first glance. Maybe an extra-bold? (I used "Signature Black" in the Baker Signet family) And if you are getting these printed, your source needs to be CMYK instead of RGB. other than that, it's a great sign. Simple, clear, uncluttered, and directly to the point.
 
this would be a good write-in campaign for Colorado , id rather vote for this ticket then barr/root, the lp/cp blew it in my eyes. I would stand on the corner in winter with this sign , unless barr dumps root and adds paul . I'm not sure i can vote for barr. I need a better choice and to me the lp/cp did nothing to earn my vote if they had they would be ron paul republicans and there wouldn't be a lp/cp.....

think im gonna call the lp and barr camp today and let them knowi have some money once they dump root and add paul as vp,if not i will have to re-consider my vote....
