What is the deal with the signboards at car shows and auctions that are always displayed at floor level?
For Scottsdale, I have the Elite Marti Report and then I also have a pretty simple sign with many bullet points about GTEs and Gunner, specifically. Some are redundant points I've already posted on the car's summary for the catalog, but they are important points (GT-E engine/package specs, the first GT-E at Major public Auction, one of 357, the last Sideoiler in a Ford, etc, etc..)
A lot of the Barrett Jackson Cars have a whole crapload of documents on the dash or in the back window..I hate that look, but is this done to keep the clutter away from the ailes and invite people closer to the cars to take a better look? A lot of people put documents right on the side windows and leave them up, too. I think the better look is windows down (to invite interior viewers) and clutterd down, again..
I made the sign (so far) pretty reasonably sized (18x24 in a classy simple black frame) and also want to display the Elite report and maybe an electronic picture frame with hundreds of rolling pics..Should I put this "up" on an Easel, or keep it low with maybe the Marti Report on top of my sign and the picture frame up at Eye level (or Chest level)?
Do people put the signs low so that they don't block the view of cars? Is that a courtesy thing? Or is it to avoid them crashing down to the floor? It just seems a bit tough to look down, usually, and I certainly hate it when the signs are down below the bumper right up against the car..what's the protocal here and what do you all think I should "build" to display this stuff?
A big White board with the two signs hangin' on it has been suggested, and I like that idea..I also have to hang a couple or few Johnny Lightning GTEs..but I don't know if I need to keep it all low and unobtrusive, or if that is even a concern..
Thanks for any thoughts,
