Making a sign

[kermitology]

I want to make a rather large sign for something I'm working on. I want it to look really professional, are there any places that print big signs (like 3ft tall by I don't know how wide really)

Any suggestions?

Try speedpro signs. They do vinyl signs, that would look professional.

I've seen them advertise signs at http://www.digitalpost.ca/

Try Atlas Signs, my company got their sign behind the reception desk done by them

I guess it's more of a poster that I want to make.

Most printing companies will do this for you. It really depends on what you're willing to spend and how quickly you need it.

A lot of photo places can even do enlargements to that size.

www.petro-tech.ab.ca is the printing company I use and they're great.

How do I give them a format for the poster/sign I want to make?

If you bring the image on a flash card into one of the printing houses downtown they'll print whatever size you want. Most of them have all the sizes and rough prices displayed. I've seen decent quality prints on foamcore (1/4" foam board with a high gloss paper finish). But thats more of a custom job. Getting a print on just normal presentation paper should be pretty easy. It'll probably only take a couple of hours.

I think even Kinkos and Staples might be able to do it. I think I know what you are up to, but keep in mind that the bigger you make the image the more you lose quality. So try to have the highest resolution image possible.
