If possible, avoid trying to make lettering taller without making it wider. Your inscription will be the most readable when each letter remains in its original proportions.

Choose a material and color combination that is compatible with your mounting surface and the surrounding area. Your entire setting will be enhanced when the various components are complementary.

For a more readable inscription, leave plenty of “white space” between your lettering and the borders of your plaque.

If possible, let your inscription dictate the size of your plaque rather than letting a pre-determined plaque size dictate your inscription. Plaques always look better when they are proportioned to match your inscription.

For a more balanced setting, leave plenty of space between your plaque and other objects like windows, doors and light fixtures.

Keep it simple. When your inscription is brief and to the point, more people will read it. For example… you wouldn’t be reading this if it wasn’t brief and to the point!

If possible, include landscaping in your setting. It’s an improvement that adds life and character. Even indoors, a strategically located plant can make a world of difference.
