    I described 2 methods - step by step If you are trying to spread the boxes later... do not compound them... -- For 6 boxes, you will need 6 images IF you want to spread them later... -- If you already have you boxes placed exactly where you want them, "compound" them - then place your image...

    I see issues with using "Artboards" UNLESS you are doing this for output...

  14. New Guy New to the business of wraps and more and need advice

    Like I mentioned to another on this thread... I tend to agree except maybe the profit he gets for making wraps at a snails pace is probably more than he is making now and... like Virginia, you are required to hold an sign contractors license in Arizona, same as Virginia, you are required to have...

  20. Looking to buy a pylon sign build step by step tutorial...

    If I look at the sign you posted as an example, that's not Dibond, that's stainless steel. The company who built it works in stainless steel regularly. I'm not a big fan of Dibond by the way, mostly because on larger pylons, I can't stand seams unless it's part of the design. It's also an...
