Wash your mouth out! Never should 'Word' be used in the same sentence as 'Graphic Design' ! wink

What they need is a vector graphic. Bump this into the Business section and you may get a better response there.

^ i think the problem I have is that image quality is not good enough to use on a 1m by 700mm acrylic sign. What would be the best program to use?

By "vectorising" the image, it is fully scalable:

Google 'Vector Magic' and use the online version to turn your image into a vector file which can then be scaled to the desired size.

Yeh you're looking for a vector graphic mate, unless you have the original artwork or typeface it was created in then it will require tracing off which could take an hour or so.

If you have no other luck then drop me a PM

Yes of course mate, can be any colour you like.

But depending on how they're making the sign (I'd imagine it would be plotted vinyl applied to the acrylic), then the colour of the artwork is neither here no there as they would just cut it using the red vinyl. I would supply to you in EPS, PDF and any JPEG or PNG files that need.

I guess it's meant to say "Lupe's" (?), but it looks more like "L__upe's" ?

Done it on my phone, might need a bit of finessing, but should be good to send them as a first draft.

I'll PM you my PayPal address.

Well done that man, though the phrase to use is usually 'it's not perfect but I'm happy enough with it'.

Any automatic image trace is awful, even more so when that vector is going to be used to plot for a vinyl graphic, maybe a trace with a tidy up would suffice but you'll never beat a manual trace for curve accuracy and minimum nodes.

If you can get it done proper on Fiverr for £5 then snap it up. I wouldn't charge any less than an hours rate for this.

These any good to you? 5 min redraw job with the pen tool in illustrator.

Can send you the vector over if you want for the signmaker.

Cheers.
