Poster paint or marker!? What problems did you encounter when you were making it!?

Poster paint is definitely the way to go on these!. It's inexpensive and looks great from a distance!. Be sure to make the letters big and dark colored and don't try to put too much on them!. Keep it simple!. There's nothing worse than the people that bring signs that are in felt tip pen and write a novel that nobody can read on them!. Those don't make it on TV and we'll just laugh at your failed attempt!. If it looks too big, it's probably just right!!! Remember, stadiums are huge!!!

We'll see you on TV!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing wrong with poster paint as someone has suggested, but one thing to watch out for if you use poster paint is if there's any precipitation at the ballgame they'll run (drip, smear etc!.)!. Acrylic paint is an alternative!. You can also get those small cans of latex paint at your local hardware!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definitely go with the paint!. The markers will dry out and the letters will look streaked and inconsistent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Markers dry out try poster paints red or balck block letters are goodWww@QuestionHome@Com
