First contact whoever will be producing the billboard to ask them for their specifications. 300dpi is overkill – they won’t want a file that large. Generally 72-100 dpi is fine. Some companies only want 50dpi. Or they may have you build it at 300dpi but at 25% of full size – every company is different.
The billboard co will also have advice on font sizes for a billboard of that size. Be sure to keep the verbage to a minimum – I’ve heard a figure if 7 words or less tossed around.

That looks like custom lettering to me (the two ‘t’s are different from each other.
Searching for “graffiti” on myfonts.com brought up some options.

JPEGs can only handle 8-bits per channel. So you’ll need to save your 16-bit image in another format, or change to 8-bit to make it a JPEG.

Apple – shift – 3 will capture the entire screen
Apple – shift – 4 will give you a crosshairs, click and drag to select the area you want to capture.
In both cases, the capture will show up as a PDF on your desktop (picture 1, picture 2, etc). Drag and drop the PDF onto Photoshop in your dock to open it.

Probably not your site/files. The banding was probably caused by a PC set to display a narrower range of colors. Check the display settings.
Welcome to the headaches of web………….. your site will never look the same on any two computers or browsers. Have fun 🙂

Perch, email me off list. I stumbled onto the logo.

I use http://www.brandsoftheworld.com. But I don’t see AARP on there.
They have a press center on their website – if you register, you can probably get ahold of the logo that way.

You could make a custom brush, but I think you can get what you need simply by applying a dashed stroke.
It’s hiding in the Options of the Stroke palette. (In the Stroke palette, if you don’t see options for a Dashed Stroke at the bottom, bring up the palette’s flyout menu and say Show Options).
Apply a stroke, turn on Dashed Stroke, then play with the stroke weight, dash length and gap length until you get the proportion of rectangle that you’re after. To get railroad-trackish proportioned rectangles, you’ll need a fat stroke and a short dash length.

Anyone else? 🙂
