[Felix Marcano]

Hi guys. My web guy finally posted the glass signs we've been working on. Can I get your honest opinions?

Thanks!

Okay Felix....that women's washroom sign is just too funny!
You seem to be catching on fast. Good for you.

Say, not too bad for a new kid!

The Dos Equis looks clean and tight, nice colors. Watch for your letter centers getting too large. The center plus the brightline should be your character width. The "Special Lager" letters look a little over bold.

The Letter "A" looks like it's all ready for a blended shade. I wrote up a few notes on this. Notes on shades

Your "R" looks nice, nice chip! It could use an outline and/or shade. Look in the Gold Leaf Techniques book for some good suggestions.

Restroom...interesting.

Real Dream looks good too. Photography is always tricky. Seeing how the piece is clear, the chipping might have shown up better against a darker background, but not so dark you loose the letter shade.

Tarara looks nice too, nice colorizing of the glue chipping.

Puerto Del Rey, this too could've had a bit more "pop" with outlines or shades on the letters.

Overall, looks quite good. Now, on to the next one. Keep practicing.

Thanks for your comments guys! I agree with you about the "Ladies" sign. I seemed like a good idea at the time. See what I wast thinking with that was- You know when in nice restaurants you may see nice glass door before going through the "real" restroom door? That was it. But anyway...LOL!!

Thanks!

Larry, The Puerto del Rey letters were supposed to have a tinted shadow, but I ran out of time.

Special Lager- So you're saying that I should do an inline on my letters instead of outline? Got it. Thanks!

I only hope that one day I'll get there.

Nice work.
