We usually skip the ISA show when it's in Orlando. The one in Las Vegas is more fun. And the deals for hotels, air flights and other trip aspects are better. The Orlando area can be a rip off.

Bull$#!+. You coupled the "if it's that simple" complaint with your repeated criticism of Adobe not improving Illustrator's maximum size limits of its art boards. That put the comment in the technical context of application development, not the marketing context of trying to please fanboys...

Did I suggest it was simple for Adobe to port a full version of Photoshop onto the iPad platform? No. I said the efforts are a waste of time. I think Adobe would do better to improve their existing Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw apps for iOS. Illustrator's maximum size limits for art...

I don't take a blanket approach to designing vehicle wraps or anything big involving large format digital printed output. It all comes down to the nature of what's in the image. I've done plenty of vehicle graphics jobs entirely within CorelDRAW. I've done others where the finished layout was an...

I've seen one price hike from $49.99 to $53.99. What is this "price hikes of double" claim about? No. We're not "embracing semantics" at all. Adobe was very clear up front about Ps for the iPad being a "work in progress," that not every feature from the desktop would make it onto the iPad...

Linking placed images in Illustrator is usually better than embedding. But the downside is the user needs to be organized at naming files and folders. A lot of people are just lazy about that. And that goes regardless of computing platform. Sometimes embedding all assets can be easier if that...

This is kind of a tough one. I need a little help trying to ID the typeface used for the "OF" in the attached "Ray of Hope" image. I already know ITC Blaze was used for the "Ray" and "Hope" letters. The "OF" is the problem. It looks kind of familiar, but the image is pretty small. The "F" seems...

Most of the "push back" those companies have received in response to their shift to subscription models is a whole lot of verbal complaints online but very little in the way of action. Adobe certainly hasn't suffered a net loss of users with their switch to the subscription-only model. With...

The downside risks of a subscription-only arrangement are greater with Corel than they are with Adobe. CorelDRAW is the only "tent pole" application Corel has in its collection. Unlike Adobe they have no other major applications to leverage in a subscription system. And even CorelDRAW itself is...

Sticking with X5 is going to have its own hazards, like trying to install it on a brand new PC running the latest version of Windows. Several years ago I thought X5 was a pretty good, stable version. But then a Windows update (if I remember correctly I think it was a big update to Windows 8.1)...

You might have skipped over the extremely important part of my post where the person asking for the graphics had to be EMPLOYED DIRECTLY somehow by that company. You're insulting my intelligence by assuming our sign company would ever do something like sell Harley-Davidson graphics to someone...

Disaster averted then.:D

Breaking out some extra folding chairs and setting them up in the back in this case means installing more servers and getting more bandwidth for the webinar broadcast. I doubt if they're going to do that.

Pretty good page and lots of funny comments here: https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_logo_for_bmw.php I agree with those who say it looks like something is missing with the black background eliminated. I kind of wish the "BMW" letters would curve along with the lines in...

We're pretty strict how we handle those situations. If a guy visits our shop wanting a John Deere logo on his vehicle doors or back window we'll do it if he is from a John Deere dealer and has legit approval for it. For signs, vehicle graphics, etc we usually request the company's latest...

Corel has a "What's New for 2020" free webinar scheduled for two times next Thursday, March 12. One webinar will be held at 10:00am EDT and the other at 3:00pm EDT. The presenter will be Klaus Vossen, Senior Product Manager of CorelDRAW. Special guest will be Mo Jogie, Design and Strategy...

Not trying to nit pick, but it looks like those dollar images are pixel-based textures mapped onto curled objects modeled in 3D space in a 3D modeling program. Options to curl graphics like that in CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator are pretty limited. It's more do-able in applications like...

More scientists are saying it's really hard to pin down a clear percentage of mortality in COVID-19 cases. Un-tracked community spread of the virus could ultimately dilute the figures. Some people who contract the virus don't show any symptoms while others may experience symptoms no worse that a...

The reports I've seen suggest it will probably take around 18 months before a vaccine can be ready. That might be enough time for the virus to mutate. If you can't afford health insurance coverage you're on your own. That's what happens. Maybe thoughts and prayers can be used to battle the...

That sounds like some "shade tree mechanic" style home-made garbage. At first glance I would avoid any involvement with some "DIY" faux-billboard operation from someone using their private property. There's all sorts of red flags with it. If it was up to me I'd tell the client to take a hike...
