Suggestion: Draw an outline in black (or other dark color) around your artist name. It will help it stand out against the light blue, give it some needed contrast and be much more readable. Love your energy! Keep rocking!
This is the second time I’ve heard this so perhaps I’ll do it! It’s something I toyed with whilst making it so maybe this is a good ‘sign’ 😃🙌🏻 thank you for the kind words!
My sign has lasted me nearly 8 years. And they are fun to make. Made mine with cardboard and a sharpie and I still have it and it just does the job. Great video as always :)
The letters on 11:02 look really great cause of the shadows. Maybe try to draw the shadows on the letters to make them look 3D. Not a full outline cause it makes it look too cartoony. Also the plastic material you put on top is very reflective which makes it harder to read since you're out in the sun busking. The colors you chose are really bright which also makes it harder to read, BUT I do understand the concept and how it conveys your vibe perfectly. I would also add a logo/photo that you use across all platforms to make you and the sign more recognizable. Like it looks just a bit too "informational". Maybe for you the lettering is enough tho to make it recognizable. Just me rambling... XD Thanks for all the tips as I was also beginning to wonder how I should make my own sign.
Great timing, I'm just designing my own new sign! *One thing to consider - Don't make the mistake I did with my first sign, got me a QR code from a free generator site, got it all laminated up, all good on the first few busks but then it stopped working. I could see people frowning as they tried to scan without success, turns out the code was free because it was a 30 day free trial! It did say so but right at the bottom of the small print, cos yeah, we all read all that don't we?... This time I bought a code for life for about £12.
Dang!! This is such a good point! 🙈 the QR code site I used said it was unlimited but it could only link to a website URL that wasn’t a social media link. Hence why I have it to a page in my own site. Hopefully it works just fine… 🤞🏻 we’ll see 👀 thank you for this! 😃🙌🏻
I know the feeling! I can be somewhat the opposite and get a little complacent… hence not changing it for 3 years 🤣 so being perfectionist isn’t necessarily a bad thing! 😃🙌🏻
Great vid bro! Been viewing you for a good while now. Any chance we could get your song list? We get to hear bits and pieces of your music, but I'd love to hear them all the way through. Cheers from the States!
Thank you! I appreciate it! 😃 I have a video that goes through most of my set list: ua-cam.com/video/K-_o3_dJ2Vk/v-deo.htmlsi=YeoriTyQ4OjoAtxm I’ll need an update video soon as there’s a few new ones in there so I’ll get on that at some point! And as for some full songs, there’s a few videos that I’ve got with this: ua-cam.com/video/Fj6XzxpWVdk/v-deo.htmlsi=2UHgUFwbCEN2SpAl I’ll get another one up soon now that I have the Mackie and the audio quality is so much better! 🙌🏻
I used a QR code generator online. It was easy and free to do. You just need to check that the QR code is unlimited and doesn’t stop working after a certain amount of time. 🙌🏻 As for the website, I’m really not the person to do a video on this yet. Still very much learning and tbh my website isn’t that great. It’s on my to-do list to upgrade it ASAP! 😃🙌🏻
Love the sign and the thought that's gone into creating it. One thing you didn't mention (but obviously took into account) is leaving space so you can attach it to something. You've used a clamp and attached it to your trolley and that clamp doesn't obscure anything important on the sign. On a windy day your old sign was protected by your guitar case. This one is a bit more exposed, so it'll be interesting to see how it does on a blustery day (I have problems with my music stand when its really windy, even though I added some lead into the bottom of it!). Some other ideas I'll throw in for others to consider - using that corrugated plastic that estate agents use for their 'house for sale' signs (it's light weight, durable and waterproof), and maybe (for those without a trolley to attach it to) using bungee cords to attach the sign to your guitar case.
This is a good point, thank you Phil! We’ll see how it fairs on a proper windy day 🤣 it’s got a good weight to it so hopefully that’ll help it out. I’ve actually seen a few buskers with signs made out of the ‘for sale’ sign material. It’s a good idea! Thank you as always! 😃🙌🏻

That's so cool!! I love that it's stood the test of time, amazing what you can do with a sharpie eh! 😃 🙌
"The important thing is you head out the door". Well said!
😃🙌🏻
Beautiful sign the yellow on that Light Blue is indeed so you ! Sun and Sky will Keep you High ARP !
Thank you Brian! I appreciate it! 😃🙌🏻
3 Years, 3k subs! Congrats ARP! Been watching your subs go up and up every day! Keep going its getting Faster!!
I know, it's so cool! So grateful for all the support!! 😃 🙌
I would put a black line around each letter for better contrast.
This is a good idea. I toyed with it whilst making the sign but couldn’t get it near enough for my liking. Perhaps I’ll add them in at some point 😃🙌🏻
just perform well, and the rest is history 👍🎵
Wise words!! 😀🙌

Great film as always, mate. I think people do engage more with 'authentic' musicians - and hand-made signs convey that 'realness'. Keep on keeping on👍
This was my thought! Especially when it comes to busking in smaller towns 😃 appreciate the support as always! 🙌🏻
The sign looks awesome man!! 🤩
Thank you! I appreciate it! 😃🙌
Awesome sign man.
Thank you! 😃🙌🏻
Looks so good, dude! Love that blue!
Thank you!! 😃🙌🏻
Great Video..Brilliant Authentic Sign 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank You! 😃 🙌
Awesome video from past, present and future you!!
YES! Thank you from all 3 of us?! 😃 🙌
Nice. Qr is a great idea. Keep us updated how it works for you please.
Will do!! A fair few scans so far! 😃🙌🏻
congrats on 3k man!
Thank you! 😃 🙌
Nice viideo man. Ive remade my sign several times. Really important for me tp get it right but maybe im too perfectionist wity it 😂
I know the feeling! I can be somewhat the opposite and get a little complacent… hence not changing it for 3 years 🤣 so being perfectionist isn’t necessarily a bad thing! 😃🙌🏻
great vid yet again!! could you start saying how long you're actually busking for when showing how much you’ve made?
I usually try and say but I can start putting it in as text too! No problem! 😃 🙌

Great sign 👌QR code excellent idea💡
Game changer I think! I’ve had a fair few scans of it since too! 😃🙌🏻

You can’t keep saying Cardiff is the smallest city in Europe, when it obviously isn’t.
It’s the smallest capital city in Europe 😊
