Question 1205225: Most communities have a Sign Ordinance that limits the amount of signage that you use to advertise your business. Often this is computed by looking at factors such as highway frontage and size of your building.
Suppose that your sign is limited to 3600 square inches (width x height = 3600) . You want to build a sign that is aesthetically appealing to advertise your business. To be an aesthetically appealing sign you would want the width to be 2 times the height and you want the top and bottom margins to both be 4 inches each and the right and left margin to both be 12 inches each. The "Printable Region" would be the area inside these margins and this will be the area that you can use to advertise your business.
