: I did a street fair a couple weeks go and got nobody coming up to
me

loevly
: sign up. I love my sign. It's a white banner with Henna and the
: arabic word for henna and Mehndi and the Hinsu word for mehndi and
a
: hand with red designs on it in between. It's lovely. i felt so
: clever when I made it. I went for a walk afterwards and I realized
: why- from farther away than 20 feet, it's nearly blank. How big
: letters do I need to be readable at night from 50 feet away? Is
: color a draw?

Hmmm okay i did this......make your sign white with black lettering.
For it to be visible from 50ft away your gonna need big bold
lettering dont go for anything fancy. A good way to go is have a look
at the henna-boy site and view the shop pic in the gallery. The signs
at the top are just over 2ft high and the lettering takes up most of
that. When i tested it you can see that from a LARGE distance! Big n
Bold works best. Also for night work strip light along the top will
light up your display fine ---- also one of the most successfull
displays ive ever had at night time i had a specialist balloon that
way UV lit and floated just above the stall.....quite pricey but you
can see that one from miles around!
