Clearly option C is the "safe" pick, but what do you all think. We are all kind of split here at the shop. LOL I personally like B myself.

Whether what you say is true or not doesn't mater. It's not so much the comments on Facebook that is telling, it's how the company is reacting to this publicity. Clearly it is having such an effect that those who made this graphic aren't simply claiming that it's just a joke made to get some...

Holy crap! You guys should check out their Facebook page. Their publicity stunt is not going over too well, so now they are trying to spin it as a purposeful experiment to spread awareness about abductions and abuse. I don't think people are buying it. :omg: Apparently not all attention is...

I agree 100%. We used to not show the cost(value) of design work on our invoices/quotes. The moment we started charging for design as a separate service was the moment people started valuing that service and seeing us as not only sign makers but designers. It made a massive difference for...

Marketing what though? The average person sees this, what are they supposed to do? Who do they call besides 911? I see nothing that tells me what type of business it is, what they sell, who they are, how to get in contact with them... If it's a marketing campaign it a terrible one. If it's...

Speaking of double standard. You know every time I see a truck driving around with one of those metal nut sacks hanging off the back, I always wonder if someone could get away with wrapping a picture of a females hooha on the tailgate.:omg::rolleyes::Big Laugh Is there really that big of a...

I certainly don't blame the designer. Having done work for the state before, $1.5 mil may just about cover the headache of it all.

Okay, so we know it opens in Corel and Illustrator, but doesn't display right in Adobe Reader. You are saying it wont print too? It appears you may have found a size limitation to the pdf format... or at least how certain programs work with PDFs. When I opened the file and saved it as a pdf...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGNxKnLmOH4 LOL In all seriousness Wayne hit the nail on the head. I like using Powerclip if I know that the artwork wont ever be sent to someone else and need to be opened and edited in another program other than DRAW, sometimes features like that don't...

I think your best bet would be to transition into what you want to be. That is kind of what we have been doing. The reality is a sign business and maybe even a wrap business is actually a great place to build up your client base if you plan on becoming a marketing firm. You start by targeting...

Here this is what I'm talking about. It's the stuff in the 2nd part of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDZe5PiXj54

I know a good way embarrass the kid a little and find out if it is in fact his or if he's just "watching it for a friend :rolleyes:" Get some of that dye that doesn't wash off and applies clear but dyes anything it touches purple, and put that on wherever the owner of said bong would put his or...

Oh yeah that one is a classic. I was thinking about it as this was all happening.

Ah yes... The old "invisible money pulled from the wallet" trick. :Big Laugh He must think he's this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy75GtKsOAw In our case, the Ironic thing is: while arguing that they don't want to pay us in full and that our work isn't worth what was agreed on, without...

Bikecomedy. Thanks for your reply, you seem very knowledgeable on the subject. That being said, it's not really necessary for me to post anymore info on the particulars here, because I'm not really seeking legal advice, just venting about the nerve of some people. We pride ourselves on our...

I just thought of this too. If they claim we harmed their business to the tune of $30,000, would it go to small claims? I'm wondering if that number he pulled out of his you know what was that amount for a reason???

Yeah I realize that, but I'm still not jumping up an down with excitement to go to court. Even if they do pay court and layer fees, its still will costs us some. We will and have taken people to court but it is a last resort.

The design work is done and it is unusable to them. (watermarks etc.) Thanks, We have our ducks in a row. I'm not too worried. The funny thing is we weren't even considering taking this to court yet so that WE could collect, it hasn't been past due long enough to concider that option and...

Maybe but it costs us money when we aren't at the office/shop working and are in court instead, so I'm unsure if we could counter sue for that or all the time this has wasted. Maybe we can. Haven't talked to our layer yet, since they haven't actually sued and probably wont. They are just...

Three things could happen in this case. 1. They pay the final payment in full, they get the artwork. 2. They don't pay the final payment in full and don't get the artwork. 3.They sue us, in which case they probably won't win, and it costs us both. (Only the lawyers win in scenario 3) That's...
