  2. Script font

    This one's driving me crazy, I know I've seen it. I thought it was an LHF Font, but doesn't seem to be. Looking for the script. Any ideas?
  3. Corel X8 - Not opening file

    Wow, I have to say, I'm just a few days into using X8 and I'm super disappointed in it's lack of stability. Tons of little issues. Now I've created a file that suddenly just crashed on me after a couple hours of work. When I go to open it, I get a gray screen with "view" grayed out in the menu...
  4. Corel X8 not opening older versions

    So I finally "upgraded" from X6 to X8 since I moved to a Windows 10 computer. I started working in X8 today, but I'm already experiencing issues opening older version files. The first instance was a file I created in X6 that I needed to edit. When I opened it in X8, one of the bitmaps was...

    Any ideas on what letterstyle this is? It was handlettered, but I'm sure there has to be something close out there.

    I know this is a crazy blurry image, but does anyone recognize ANY of these fonts?
  12. Does anyone use the CADTool 5 macro for Corel?

    I recently purchased the CADTool 5 macro. I love the idea of it, but I'm getting varied results with the dimension tool. I have the settings set to US Architectural, but it seems to choose shapes to revert to Fractional mode. Sometimes only with one side of the object. It's a bummer because I...
  13. A fun colaboration...

    Nothing gives me more satisfaction that designing for a shop that has the skills to bring it to life. This was a colaboration with Marty from Hill Mountain Signworks in Petosky, MI. I did the design and Marty took it from there and brought it to life. Marty is a master craftsman and has his...
  14. Sign Designing - Quote of the day...

    “A physician has the responsibility to heal and a sign designer has the responsibility to guide. Usually, physicians have no interference by others, contrary to the dilemma faced by sign designers, who most often seem to have an uninvited committee hovering over them. That notwithstanding, sign...

    I have a client requesting a "nice office door sign" for a gift for his boss. He said he want's something nicer than the typical engraved plastic signs. He even mentioned possibley wood. I'm wondering if you experienced sign makers have any ideas for something nicer, maybe something you've...
  16. Dimension Tool Settings

    How do I change the default global settings for the dimension tool? I can change them within the document, but not globally. For example, I want to change the text color and font as well as line color and line ends. I know I've done this before, but now I can't for the life of me figure out...
  17. Another hand carved sign...

    Just wrapping this one up. I applied an antiqued finish partly because it fit the sign and partly to mask my amatuer paint job.

    These are some of the hand carved signs I've done. Nothing too fancy, just trying to hone my carving skills.

    Anyone recognize this one?

    How often do we here comments like "My customers wouldn't pay that..." or "I can't charge that in my area..." or "I would be out of business if I raised my prices" A little inspiration/perspective: https://www.kickcharge.com/kickcharge-branding-packages/ Not saying that these prices are for...
