Recently, I attended a conference where a fellow from the San Diego Zoo
Graphics dept. gave a presentation on the signage at the zoo.
As you can imagine they have a large variety of signage (mostly)
outdoors. The one technique that I found interesting was a
photo-etching on stone. They had great detail are very durable. They
work with a local vendor (I don't know who) but the interesting thing is
it is the same "technology" that grave headstone suppliers are using.
For this reason I would suggest that you contact someone locally
involved in this business and maybe they can give you a local supplier
of photo-etching.
OK, your probably thinking, do I really want a headstone in my park?
Actually, if the stone tablet is thin enough (about 1" thick) it doesn't
look like a headstone. I would also suggest that you avoid putting a
round top on them :)
Just a suggestion.
