Signing My Life Away
April 7th, 2008 @ 9:30 am by Mrs. Lovebug
V. small post today - the sign I made to put atop the bar, to promote our “specialty” drinks. Ironically, though, it took me ages to make. I could NOT get the spacing right to save my life.
As with everything else, I used the Urgent Telegram and Feel Script fonts. I’ve used them so much they’ve even started to look like they belong together.
Thanks to everyone who offered great typewriter-themed names for the drinks, by the way. But about five minutes after I asked for suggestions, I went ahead and banged this out anyway. Kinda that last minute get-it-down-NOW urgency.

I see what you mean, the “g’s” from something keep hitting the line below. What program did you use? I don’t think anyone will notice though, looks great!!!!
if you are using a program such as illustrator you can adjust the spacing between lines by adjusting the leading. perhaps you tried this and it still gave you a hard time? cute sign though!
great sign! You might want to consider putting a foam or cardboard backing as the sign might “sag” and “curl” as the evening progresses.
Teetotal-ly Delicious tickles me.
Love the sign! It turned out great! Can’t wait to see pictures of all your items in action at the wedding!
(I’m wondering about your easel…where did you find it??)

They look great! Can you please tell us where you bought the easel?
beautiful! where did you get the stand?
