  1. Church Pricing?

    We give trade prices to some of the local charities that we've been helping out for years, but churches. Well...we don't really ever do anything for churches. The last time I remember a churchy fellow coming in, we were printing a bunch of giant pot leafs for a dispensary. He left fairly quick...
  2. Opinion on Arlon Wrap Material

    I can't really vouch for Alron wrap vinyl, but I can tell you that the difference between the two is the adhesive. The IJ180cv3's adhesive doesn't adhere until squeegeed whereas other wrap vinyl adhesive is much more aggressive which can mean longer install times. Our installer even went as far...
  3. Some color theory plz

    There is no EASY answer. If you're doing artwork that people are paying money for look into theory man! c'mon. Google is your friend. I bet if you googled 'colour theory' you'd find a metric-s***-ton of articles...ahem...I mean videos that will gently walk you through colour theory. If you...
  4. Some color theory plz

    If you google color theory you'l get some good explanations. There are complementary colours and analogous colours. Complimentary colours are the colours directly opposite on the colour wheel. Analogous colours are the neighbouring colours. It's hard for us to say what colour you should...
  5. How would you create this effect?

    Sorry player, no offence. i just don't see the point of recommending a plug-in to someone to create something so simple. Even if they did go ahead and get alien skin. Now you got them putting the cheesiest of cheesy effects on EVERYTHING! That's not cool man! We're supposed to help the sign...

  8. How would you create this effect?

    The grunginess is actually a font. It's a free font called Top secret. As for the effects. It's all photoshop. For the brushed metal look, You will want to fill the text with a light grey or gradient. Then EFFECTS > NOISE. Then BLUR > MOTION BLUR. For the bevel Double-click on your layer...

  11. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has a new 500,00.00 logo

    Because the LCBO is our liquor store. It's the only place you can buy liquor actually. Then we have another government run store called "the beer store". You can't buy beer or liquor anywhere else basically. It's the reason a 2-4 of Molson Canadian up here is $35-40 but if I go down to buffalo...
  12. The Liquor Control Board of Ontario has a new 500,00.00 logo

    I love the "B"! How'd they get it to look so fiiiineeee?......Whoever designed that is my idol. Sorry Joe Diaz you just got bumped. This is a good reason why politics needs to change. I never got a chance to vote on whether or not LCBO should spend $500,000 on a new logo. No one said anything...

  15. Google Maps - Search "Sign Company" Results = Starbucks.

    Today I had a customer call me. I asked her how she heard about us. She says she googled us. Right on, That's the answer I was looking for. Then she tells me that when she googled "sign company" every Starbucks pops-up along with the sign shops. So I try it here and yup she was right. What is...
  16. New website

    I think It's really good! Only thing I would change is the font. You've got Arial as your font. No offense at all Moze, but It's 2014, get yourself some webfonts. It's really easy to do. Once upon a time you were restricted by the system fonts of the people visiting your webpage. Now, with...
  17. Best material for interior block wall raps/prints?

    Really?! What kind of paint is it not compatible with? Was this wall recently painted? Maybe it wasn't fully cured yetl? I've used Arlon DPF8000 for years and never had an issue.
