Since the thread was sorta hijacked.... I thought I would give my 2 cents... I hate when clients say "make it pretty" What does that mean... We only get to see some random design with no real backstory or what I was thinking was, what does the original sign look like? So I looked. YIKES...

Sign design is graphic design... I didn't go to school for it. By the way I think quite a few of us have that "client is gonna hate it" fear... I was trained in hand lettering, sign construction, and installation. I'm thinking that not all sign shops are the same, most here are promotional sign...

I guess I'm another one who get to have a differing opinion, all I do is design, my clients come to me because of my work, portfolio and reputation, I've never been hired by a sign shop because I suck, do I occasionally get a client who wants to sabotage the process? He!! yeah, depending on how...

What a designer has to be concerned about... (yeah yeah, I get paid money, but I made it a point to avoid designing cr@p years ago) And my favorite... yeah, make the sale.... it's easy to design cr@p.

I did this in Illustrator... Corel can do it too, the problem with Corel and Illustrator is that slight distortions can happen when extruding your drop shadow, I deal with it by adding outlines to hide some of it. If you are doing drop shadows on a daily basis, Flexi makes sense, as mentioned...

I think he's doing okay, he's been posting on Facebook...

Every once in a while I look back to see if any progress has been made on some of these threads... I need to stop looking... Home

So I've been thinking about this... I think in order for you to get various bids, it would be a really good idea to nail down exactly what you want to do... that way you can get competitive bids and not have everyone give you a million options or they may even charge you for their take on it...

Which cutter are you thinking of getting? Graphtec comes with Cutting-Master plug-in for Illustrator for Mac...

Really? I thought your shop was featured in it at one point... I wouldn't know which issue but I have nearly every one of them...

Ummm, so if you didn't know this.... The Kickcharge sign is a backlit cabinet sign (hopefully the link works) you can see the process on House of Signs Facebook Page House of Signs Basically it's a backlit sign with push-thru, that sidelights the letters and logos because they are capped with...

When I expert or save, most of the file types are .eps and dig/dxf I like this solution, most of the work I do can have 80-100 artboards to a single project - I can make artboards for files to send to vendors and either "save as" or "export" accordingly to separate artboards and keep them all...

Having used both, you can still mess up your export on Corel if you miss a section of the logo you are selecting. Would I like exporting a "selection" in Illustrator, HECK YEAH!, some files I generate have, go to CNC routers, water-jet cutters, vinyl cutters, printers and traditional print -...

that looks like some of those would hurt...

I've only had this happen a couple of times with my freelance work, I charge the same price if the services are the same, I don't tell them, I try to keep all my contacts and interactions confidential. You are protecting them and yourself by not giving out that type of information. If you tried...

Kerf cut angle so it forms around radius, weld and/or epoxy kerf-cut return to face

When I used to design exhibits and retail displays the only company that could handle any of the projects I designed was mossinc.com

When I worked for a shop and design firms - well, except for the last real job I had, too many people had something to say about the work I was doing... I had sales, the art director, design director, the boss and of course the client all sticking their finger in my work. It might be about the...

Okay, so I'll bite... I only design, I do not own a printer, or laminator. I was trained to run them as a production monkey. Now, it's true, they are not all that hard to run - but I was taught by very knowledgable trainers who were there, day in and day out showing how to use them, maintain...

Begun the vector wars has....
