    Default The April 2012 Tutorial Discussion

    The April 2012 Xara Video Tutorial on Xaraxone.com has arrived!

    Gary Bouton takes you through the process of creating an outdoor sign, from concept, to typography, to drawing it in Xara Designer, to exporting it for personal printer and for commercial printing. How good does that get?! If you have a garage sale (don’t tell Gary), a bake sale, a sports league sign-up, or other service, event, or product you need to advertise on a sign, sign up today for Gary’s Xara TV tutorial for April 2012.

    Check out the video, Designing a Sign With Xara Now!
    Then come back here and show us your signs!

    Gare, I did the pink flaminigo thing because of this post and because of Barbara's reaction in your video. OK I'll get serious.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    @Mike—

    You're really, really close to a winner, Mike.

    "Everything must go today"...lose it, no one will read it at that size.

    I read in order of importance: yard sale, and more, 131 your street.

    Good prioritizing.

    @Larry

    I know.

    Funny.

    Now get down to work.



    It's my job to be the forum clown, okay?

    You can be the magician, and Frances can be the princess, and Mike's a cowboy.

    Funny thing that line. In version one "Everything..." had greater prominence. Once I rearranged things, it it shrank down to 50pt on that tabloid-sized sign.

    Good catch.

    Take care, Mike

    Ooooh I get to be a princess, I like that I even have my own Prince William! (well he may not really be royalty but he's a prince to me!)

    Here is a second one from me, I decided to use an old advertising principal: Less is more.

    Well It's definitely working now (or maybe I know the magic word! ) ) Very enjoyable Gary, I never noticed the tiling option in Acrobat Reader before so I have learned something already!

    Here is a sign layout I put together. I included a line that is often included on Yard or Garage Sale signs around here NEB (No Early Birds) or seriously the ardent yard sale junkies would be camped on your doorstep while you are still in your PJs!

    I'm not a huge fan of pink flamingos either, tell you what Barbara, I'll distract him in the Typography forum while you make it disappear!
