Even back "in the good old days" some companies were famous for going after people who used their IP without permission. All they had to do was find out about it. Disney, Warner Bros. and Harley-Davidson were well known for it. Some things fall under fair comment. Using a company's logo for...

No.

The Internet has made it a LOT easier for companies to go after people or small businesses who infringe on their trademarks and other IP. Automated scripts can be run to sniff through image search engines, social media, etc. Some infringing work will appear very easily in a manual Google image...

No, he's going to post images of the not-compliant artwork all over social media and let the imagery be accessible to search engines. In that respect it's worse than merely driving it around the local neighborhood. Image search engines are a pretty good way trademark violators get caught.

I'm trying to match a couple of fonts from some existing customer art. The image of script lettering is part of their existing door graphics. I've seen that script typeface before, but can't find the match. The serif lettering in the other image isn't bringing back any matches. Abril is about as...

"Dirt cheap" is based on your own personal perspective. Casual/hobbyist users and office workers who have to dabble in graphic design tasks have a different point of view. Price comparisons with perpetual license software in the past is also a bit of an apples to oranges thing as well. Many...

It does not happen anywhere nearly as often as it does with Canva-generated art. Most people who are using Canva are using the free version of it. The no-cost price combined with the strange popularity of the "application" translates to a lot of people with zero clue at all of what they're doing...

The problem with Canva is when you're having to mess with "art" created in that applications you're at the mercy of the choices made by the "designer" using the app. Next to none of those amateurs understand the differences between pixels and vectors (and they're not interested in knowing...

Just from quickly skimming through this older thread I couldn't immediately see if anyone asked/answered this question. But was the customer expecting to have the same image displayed on both sides or two different images sandwiched together? Either way it raises all sorts of problems. Sunlight...

The original version is Ondine.

Yeah, any raster-based images that are embedded into an Adobe Illustrator AI file will be stored as either uncompressed or lossless compressed data. File sizes get inflated pretty quick. Then if a PDF is saved from that artwork, and Adobe Illustrator editing capability is preserved, the file...

Were the PDF files created in Adobe Illustrator? Usually when I receive PDF files from customers and the file sizes of the PDFs are pretty big the elements inside the PDF are often pixel-based stuff rather than vector-based artwork. They mistakenly think saving a JPEG image inside a PDF...

"Known for being an accessible, beginner-friendly tool compared to graphic design software favourites like Adobe and Figma, the costly increase is a disappointing evolution set to alienate its current users and further deter the professional design community." Uh, Canva isn't exactly the go to...

With logo design, unfortunately, you often just have to give the customer what he wants -even if the idea is just stupid and/or way too complicated to actually qualify as a logo. Paul Rand made real logos. But most small businesses are not really looking for anything clean, direct and...

Our shop accepts walk-in customers, but only if they're from a business. People who want things like graphics for their personal vehicle or a sign for their man cave typically just aren't realistic at all. They want to bleed away lots of time talking and lots of time on design revisions, but...

It looks like Commercial Script. But the "E" is either customized or it's from a version of the font that includes some new swash alternate glyphs.

Venetian 301 is a Bitstream clone of Centaur.

The dumb apostrophe on "Gordon's" sucks. Monotype Corsiva does have proper quotation and apostrophe marks.

The problem with the JPEG approach is client often want further editing to be done to the artwork. Extracting vectors from a PDF is going to be a lot faster than having to re-create vectors using a JPEG image as a guide. I'm not a fan of auto-tracing filters. They're only ever good for quick and...
