When someone chooses the default Arial sign design look there's nothing like taking the theme all the way by squeezing and stretching the ugly default type. Extra points for doing additional squeezing and stretching after the multiple outline effects are added. That way nothing is uniform in...

I can't seem to locate a match for the typeface used in the attached sample image. The "C" is really odd looking. Figured it must be a freebie type of font. Couldn't find anything like it at DaFont.

Still undecided. I'm weighing the pros and cons of the XPS 17 9700 against a couple other systems, such as the Razer Blade Pro 17. The Razer unit costs a lot more, is physically bigger and gets significantly less battery life (but not nearly as horrible bad as the Alienware M17 R3). But the 17"...

IIRC that's the font used on Samuel Jackson's wallet in Pulp Fiction.

Just like the subject line says, I'm trying to match the typeface in the attached sample image. At first glance it looks very much like Avant Garde. But the terminals on some of the letters (like "S" and "C") are slanted, not horizontal. There's a number of other subtle differences. Other...

I kind of like using Adobe's "color" web site. IIRC it used to be called "kuler." The web site is: https://color.adobe.com Users of Creative Cloud can save the color palettes generated there for use in Adobe's applications. They just added some new accessibility tools to make color choices more...

We don't have a flat policy on design charges or releasing vector-based art files to clients. If it's a simple project, such as text only and maybe a production ready logo they supplied we won't hesitate to give them art files. Design charges do come into play for lots of other things. We do...

We're seeing shortages in acrylic and polycarbonate. Back orders are going out 6 weeks or more.

That could be the case.

While the "little guys" have a tendency to clutter up their signs with phone numbers the bigger companies are striving to simplify their signs, stripping away as much extraneous stuff as possible to arrive at something far more legible and far more powerful at reinforcing the brand.

I was responding to Pauly's comment.

I never said I wanted to buy a gaming laptop. I wanted something just powerful enough but not so top of the line powerful that it sacrifices any portability. Apple clearly understands that concept with their notebooks. It's just too bad that OSX is the wrong OS for my needs, too bad that Apple...

"M51"? Alienware has the M15 and M17 notebooks (3rd generation now available) and the Area 51 notebook featuring up to a 10-core i9 desktop CPU. Those all can be ordered in brutally powerful configurations (for lots of $$$). But they have to stay tethered to a wall outlet nearly all the time...

The 2020 Dell XPS 17" is similar in size to many 15" notebooks. The screen has hardly any bezel at all and it's a taller 16:10 aspect ration (hence the 1980 X 1200 and 3840 X 2400 screen resolutions). It weighs under 6 pounds in its top configuration. It would fit in the same case I bought for...

Thanks. One of my girlfriend's former co-workers passed away this week from a very aggressive infection that moved from his arm and into his chest. They amputated his arm below the elbow in an attempt to stop the infection. That gave me a new perspective on why they kept me in the hospital...

One person's definition of "better" is going to vary widely depending on what he or she wants out of a notebook computer. Budget is also a valid consideration (especially for me after my recent hospital stay). The key thing is BALANCE of priorities. There are several far more powerful 17"...

Adding another layer of interest, the 2020 Dell XPS 15 is limited to NVidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti. So not only is the XPS 15 equipped with a more effective power supply (130w vs 105w) it also has a less power hungry video card. This power draw problem just adds more embarrassment to the already...

Have you looked at the prices of the "creator's edition" versions of the XPS 17? They start out at nearly $3000 and go well North of that when certain options are upgraded. If that doesn't qualify as "higher end" then I don't know what does. I was looking at a getting a notebook in the...

Ugh, shin injuries. I have a scar in the middle of my right shin obtained in childhood, thanks to a failed attempt at leaping from one concrete ledge to another across the front porch. That hurt like hell. Hacking into the shin sounds like pure agony. When I injured my finger it felt like I...
