I know this is the right bunch to ask!...... A possible client is looking for a main I.D. sign for the entrance to her office, on an interior wall, just outside of her door. The wall (drywall) has a very slight concave curve to it. The size of the sign would be roughly 2'high x 3' long. She would like something using clear plexi or glass, possibly tinted red, and dimensional (3D). The background (if any) could be brushed metal look, or something similar. Her colors are red, black and silver or chrome. Her logo is kinda boring, so she'd like to funk it up a little. Her logo will not change. She is wide open to suggestions for design. Does anyone have any ideas for creating something cool? I don't have a router to do something dimensional, but would work with anyone who wants to go in on this little project. As far as budget, I don't think it is a big issue if the right design solution was met. I'm in Atlanta. Thanks! Dan

i have a number of ideas... but i wouldn't waste my time trying to draw them up until a "potential" client became a "client". get them to put down a design deposit and to commit to a price range for the finished work. price is never an issue for some people... until they see the price. many is the client who will waste your time to fish for ideas, and then have somebody else bid on the production...
also, you don't need to have a router to do a lot of things... here are some brainstorming ideas to get you started:
you could buy metal or silver colored letters from Gemini, for instance, and glue them to clear Plexi and back the plastic with translucent red vinyl.
get red plastic letters and apply to a sheet of brushed stainless.
hang a 4' x 10' vertical "wall" of Plexi and let the graphic elements "float" around eye level.
use silver/chrome vinyl on the front of tempered, frosted glass red translucent on the back of it to get contrast in color and translucency.
the list goes on and on. get a contract and get some real limits to the job (price, quality, speed of delivery, size, etc).
