  2. Poll / Question..Training your staff.. preferences

    Definitely. If the job entails a lot of software and computer knowledge, it is in the best interest of the prospective employee to purcahse his/her own license to run the software at home on a personal laptop. This is what I did. When I was hired in as a novice sign designer in 1993 at a sign...
  3. Poll / Question..Training your staff.. preferences

    When it comes to design staff I do not recommend outside training becsue the sign industry is highly specialized and it is cheaper for the design department to do on the job training in design. However, it is up to the newbie to learn the software before entering employemnt. That is what I did.

  10. Simple macro to create bounding box? CDX4

    Since this is the Corel Forum I would assume that he wants to do this task with Corel or a custom Corel Draw plug-in. Not all sign designers use Flexisign.

    But it is also the designer's obligation to explain the concept of less is more by showing the customer a letter size visibility chart and also the nature of human ttention spans at both streeet and highway speeds.
  12. Need Help Reverse channel letters

    o Why go to the expense of material and labor if the front of the letter does not internally illuminate? What I would do in this case is a design with an aluminum face with returns. What you are describing does not need trimcap or vinyl but just a painted face.

    Thank you for the ideas. but I will use a model of an actual missile because the customer will only market scale model rockets of actual missiles. May I use some of your design elements?

Oh,and instead of using a fictional sci-fil spacecraft I will use an iconic missile or rocket, like a Nike Hercules ABM or a Spartan or Sprint ABM. The Sprint was a simple cone shaped high speed...
