  1. Here's a funny layout request.

    I'm praying whoever made that sign request for Eglin AFB isn't involved with any aircraft operations. Obviously they do not know how to math. It's far more common for civilians to demonstrate their lack of geometry skills or awareness of concepts like aspect ratio when dictating specific fonts...
  2. So, how're ya planning it................................................................................... ??

    Normally we would be open on Friday because "Black Friday" can be pretty busy with service calls and other stuff. But so many people have requested Friday off to be able to travel out of town Thursday-Sunday or host relatives who are in town visiting. Not enough people are going to be available...
  3. Font ID Please

    It looks like they started with Avant Garde and then merely altered the "W" and lowercase "t".
  4. Font Name

    It looks like an extra bold weight of Albertus, artificially very stretched and slanted. Bitstream's Flareserif 821 is a clone of Albertus.
  5. Font ID Request - Decorative Serif

    $24 isn't a bad price for that typeface. It has some useful goodies included. The Royal Signage typeface reminds me of Desire Pro: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/desire-pro Desire Pro is beautiful and has a lot of alternate swash glyphs, but the details can get really thin and work against...
  6. Font ID Request - Decorative Serif

    I'm guessing the typeface used in the attached (and cropped) sample image could be on a free fonts site. MyFonts' What the Font didn't come up with any matches. Didn't see anything at Google Fonts or DaFont that matched either.
  7. Illustrator Can Finally Copy & Paste with Right Mouse Button Context Menu

    I suppose it's a nice option to have cut-copy-paste options in a right-click fly-out menu I'm just a lot faster clicking the various keyboard shortcuts with my left hand (Paste in Place and Paste on All Artboards is a little tricky doing with one hand). One area where I'm definitely a lot...
  8. Illustrator Can Finally Copy & Paste with Right Mouse Button Context Menu

    Adobe Illustrator has long had the usual keyboard shortcuts for cutting, copying and pasting content via the clipboard. Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work just fine in Illustrator. Unlike CorelDRAW the Ctrl+V command will paste the content in the center of the current view of the artboard which is...
  9. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    Weird? How? Exactly why would it be weird for someone to want to avoid knocking up their girlfriend unintentionally? If anything it seems like younger people these days are getting a little bit more responsible. Unintended pregnancies cost a stupid fortune, even if the parents get some...
  10. Getting a better quality image from a low quality image

    This is where we insert every phony baloney "enhance that image" command from a CSI: Miami episode or dozens of other TV shows and movies. My favorite Hollywood BS moment on enhancing images: the 1998 movie Enemy of the State with Will Smith. There's one scene where these government guys hack...
  11. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    Loretta Lynn and her story might deserve some credit for the choices young adults are making today. They've seen their parents struggle in person and saw the lesson being played out in real time. They're not looking to repeat the same mistakes and have to live through the same hardships. I...
  12. For All the Facebook Lovers

    I think Facebook is already wise to this. I admin my company's Facebook page as well as a couple civic club pages. I've been receiving messages from FB about them rolling out a "new feature" to reduce spam to FB page accounts.
  13. Font ID Request - Odd Stencil Typeface

    Well that explains why What the Font turned up no results. I scanned through all of the stencil fonts at DaFont too. Didn't figure it being available at Google Fonts's site.
  14. Font ID Request - Odd Stencil Typeface

    I'm trying to ID the typeface used in some customer provided artwork but not really getting anywhere. The lettering has a stencil look to it. I have a sneaking feeling the stencil cuts were added and not part of the actual typeface. The typeface may have also been distorted out of its normal...
  15. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    The vector warp and shape builder tools are not unique. It's debatable whether the vector warp effect in Affinity Designer is better than the Envelope functions in CorelDRAW (which have long been kind of glitchy). The warping effects in Adobe Illustrator work very well. Illustrator has had a...
  16. FYI: Affinity Users, version 2.0 has been released.

    $99.99 doesn't seem like too bad a price for the whole 2.0 suite (Designer, Photo & Publisher) considering it can be installed on a Windows PC or Mac and the iPad versions don't cost anything extra. The price rises to $169.99 after a limited time. I only have Affinity Designer 1.10.5 (for...
  17. Font Identification Help

    Technical is a knock-off of Tekton. It's one of quite a few copy-cat fonts bundled in CorelDRAW. The Tekton family has more weights and widths, which kind of looks like what was used on that business card. https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/tekton Oh yeah, the combination of Cottonwood and Tekton is...
  18. Trimless Edge Channel Letter work

    Those letters look really nice and clean.
  19. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    There's fewer, ahem, "deposits" being made in the first place. The US is in the early stages of what could be a serious, long term baby bust. As for the Fed raising the interest rate another 75 basis points, it does seem very likely. But it comes at a cost of the Fed losing money, rather than...
  20. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    It may be they just don't have as much living space for all sorts of tangible things. Millennials and Gen-Z people do appear to be more interested in spending money on experiences rather than stuff. One area where the younger generations do seem "smart:" they have no illusions about the...
