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

[txSleepingBeauty]

I give up. I really want to make door signs, but I'm just not sure what program to use. I have a mac. i've tried powerpoint, but couldn't get the fonts to show up. I tried iWork, but can't get the words on the picture!!

AAARGH!! I even tried searching the thread, but that wouldn't work either any experienced mac users out there with a word of advice?

thanks, in advance

Kari,
I have done them just in Word for Mac. I have The Print Shop for Mac and it does a great job. What graphic programs do you have? I will look at my iMac when I get home and see what else there is to work with.

Wow, those are awesome signs that you did. Hope you had an awesome time on your cruise. We are 13 days and counting to be on the Magic for our 2nd year in a row. Hope you don't mind if we use a couple of ideas from your signs. Great job on them!!

Then we have some magnetic of the characters.

This one is not a magnetic, but a picture of my DH in his Jack Sparrow outfit at Halloween that he will be wearing to the pirate

I love your signs. Do you mind if I use them?

I want to learn how to make my own signs. I can find backgrounds to use, but when I try to put my own text on them, I can't figure out how to get the background to show through...instead of a white text box. Does that make any sense?

Here is a link for some of the backgrounds I used. I honestly don't remember where I got the Castaway pictures, although I do know that the top picture was one of my own. Hope this helps.

For my program I have to right click on the background and select the option "send to back" and that brings all the lettering and other pictures to the top. Hope that helps.

THANK YOU!! I can do it now! I always had the white text box...it was driving me crazy!
