OK.  She's in and may subscribe so I don't need to act as interpreter.

She is a designer -- so a handful of concise keywords for the desired
message would be helpful.  Also - her comment, after having read the specs:

"W/ that signage set-up they've chosen, they seriously should just
consider a bold colored/big logo/big name graphics. I designed a booth
for Brooks Stevens for a major house wares show and one thing I've
learned is that people overdo their booth/exhibit design. It ends up
cluttered and visually noisy. And when you have a thousand booths with
cluttered multicolored "stuff", to stand out you need to take a bold and
clean approach. It's not about how many colors/gradients/fonts you can
cram in a square foot, it's about stating your identity loud and clear. "

Thanks,
Mike Ellsworth
