What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[scrapbookingpro]

Here is one of the signs I made for our May 6th western. I put lots of little signs around it with different characters peeking out of doors. It was really colorful!

Very cute! Just out of curiosity did you see very many door signs on your cruise? I was on the Easter cruise and I didn't see very many.

I admit I didn't look very hard (I meant to but never had time!) but no, I didn't see very many at all. There were just two other doors that I saw with decorations on them.

Okay guys, I am going on my first cruise ever in Sept on the Magic. I want to do a door sign so badly. I know only the basics about computers and have never attempted any type of project like this at all. Is this something I can do? If so, is there a web site or a computer program that I can use to that will walk me through it step by step? I have absolutely no idea how to get started. Please help me!!!!!!!

Hi Gail (my fellow cruiser)

Did you look at the very first post on this thread? I think it is pretty detailed and you will be able to find all the info/materials you need to accomplish this. It's really easy, ask any questions if you are stuck. Also remember we have two designs that you could use from our meet thread. Let me know if you need the jpegs and I will email them to you.

Well, Hello there! I must admit that I did not look at the first post. I did look through many of the posts and loved some of them. I will go to the first post and see what I can find.

We cruised April 29-5/6 and were on the 7fl. Besides our cabin, there was one other with door signs. There was a bunch on the 1/2 fl.

Okay, now I have read the first post and even remember having already read it a long time ago. I still have no idea how to begin doing this. I have never attempted to make anything like this on a computer. Never any cards, invitations, scrapebook pages, nothing. Once I turn the computer on, I have no idea what to do next. I am assuming that I have to get some type of program to install on my computer. I saw Magic Artist mentioned. Does anyone know where I can purchase this? One of my secretaries has made birthday invitations and things like that on the computer. She said that she would meet me at the office tomorrow morning and look over this post and try to help me. Keep your fingers crossed. It's embarrassing that I am so computer ignorant. I have learned to do just enough to get by.

Hi, go to the first post of this thread.. Scroll down and look for the DISigns forum. You'll love what they've designed there most are very willing to customize their signs for you (just send them a PM). Good luck!

Gail,
I make my desings in PowerPoint. All you need is to open PowerPoint and start playing with background colors and add the text and images (downloaded from the Internet).

We have all joined Weight Watchers together, so made her enough Weight Watchers Vegetable Soup for several servings.

This thread is just FULL of wonderful magnets/signs that everyone has made.

There are so many programs to use and the fonts and text and images are unlimited on the internet.


first go to your programs and you will probably find one that you didn't know you had

there is Powerpoint, Microsoft, Paint, PhotoImpact, Microsoft Powerpoint and so many more

You really can't make a mistake, so go in and experiment. It is fun

Then when you read the first post on this thread, you will understand it

After you make your magnet/sign, and you need help posting it, let us know - that part is easy

Here's our formal night sign.

Found the backdrop for this online but borrowed the idea from DisneyVegas1. Thanks DisneyVegas1! (my apologies if I left anyone else out).

Here's our Pirate Night poster also. I posted this a while back then removed it when other DISers started to copy it as their own (fonts, etc.). I've changed it up a little since.

I don't want this to come across the wrong way, but if someone wants to borrow another's idea, that's cool. It's a form of flattery. Just give the original poster his due. That's all.

BTW, I PhotoShopped the bottom portion of the movie poster out so it would be easier to put my graphic in there. If anyone is interested in the PhotoShop pic to use for their own design, please PM me and I'll send it over.

Here's what the original looks like.

Take care.

I agree with the bolded part. You took time to modifiy the original pic and to borrow your redition w/o asking or not getting credit shows un-appreciativeness (I think) -more stiring . Thank you for posting the "original". I'm sure some one will use it.

I belive one of my pics got swiped w/o permission. I felt kind of hurt initially, but now I'm over it.

For all current and future mag door designers- a suggestion: IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PHOTOS COPIED IN ANY FORM, do what Ebay sellers do with their photos. In big letters across the whole image write SAMPLE or TAKEN. No one will want to clean up that much of your picture.

A big thanks to Disney and all those who have created the original photos, cartoon images, etc. we DISers have modified one way or another for our use.

Thanks every one for sharing how your door signs look/looked like!

I had a similar door sign but I found my image at the Pirates of the Caribean website. There they have downloads and wallpapers you can use.
