Taviano Yard Sign Review - Color Matters
This is a perfect example of how color can make or break the effectiveness of a yard sign.
50 x 50 scanability. The green passes but the white fails. There is not enough contrast. I'm not sure the white sign passes a 30 x 30 scanability test.
Clean. Both versions are clean.
Uniqueness. nothing to say about it.
Color. A golden rule for yard sign colors: The background and text must be opposite hues. One must be light and the other dark.
Note: Though the plastic signs are cheaper and waterproof they are less durable. I recommend using a heavier stock.
Green sign: Grade A
White Sign: Grade F

Funny it doesn't say anything about her being democrat...I wonder why...
Technically, management skills and catching bad guys shouldn't be politically spun or motivated. In the Sheriff's office, you are either capable of getting the job done in an efficient and diplomatic fashion, or you're not.
Thank you for the honest review, Pundit. I agree with your opinion on these.
There are a lot of elected offices, especially in county government, where it is very unclear why the post is elected other than the Constitution says so. Recorder? Coroner? I happen to think we have had good elected leadership in both of those posts but I still think that having them as elected offices is just silly.
I think that's more a matter of making sure the population is providing the oversight and not some random official appointment. It does seem like a lot to "chew" for voters when the ballot is full and only a couple of the election races are heavily covered in the media.
One could make a similar argument- why are local elected positions partisan? Wouldn't the public be better served if there were no Democrats or Republicans, just John/Jane Doe running for office because he/she is the best person for the job?
It is not silly at all. The reason behind it is deadly serious.
The Indiana Constitution was drafted by Jacksonian Democrats. They wanted to diffuse power and keep it in the hands of the people.
Which, unfortunately enough, IS silly when you look at voter turnout. So many people have a voice and an opinion, yet don't feel the need to participate. I don't care what your point of view or party affiliation is: Vote or shut up.
