I agree I think the graphic on this layout is a little better. Pros: Clean, relevant, good presentation, overall a good start of a brand system. Cons: "A" and "R" are too similar, font choice in general, weight of graphic is high compared to weight of the text i.e. graphic heavy, graphic itself...

The automated barcode setup is a little tricky but not that bad... 1.Set up your spot colors in your design software making sure they are named properly. 2.Set the "CutContour" setting when configuring your printer in ONYX (I can explain this in more detail if needed, but without this setting...

The best signs have to have good form AND function...but never sacrifice function for form. Form takes a back seat to function in the world of signage. Designers tend to forget that signs serve functional purposes in our daily lives as opposed to fine art which serves a different need...

Yup, the most successful designers have a combo of natural and honed talent/skill. There are plenty of OK designers out there that either have natural talent OR heavily practiced skill and they can output generally acceptable work a percentage of the time. But there are some who have both and...

So I think we can all agree that at least to some degree the wall should have been painted. Who's responsibility, that is up to debate. But without all of us knowing the context between the customer and sign maker I think we are speaking a little out of turn. Every job I take on I try to point...

Fair enough. lol I'm in the USA and now almost feel like I should be using Canadian servers now that you've brought that to my attention, thanks!

I think of it like a free answer to a pop quiz....here's the size, fonts, and every other possible spec, now make it so. I generally enjoy these jobs, no thinking, just make the money um I mean just make the sign lol. The only time I don't enjoy them is when it's specified as something that's...

I've used InMotion Hosting for approaching 10 years and am really happy with their service. They don't have servers in Canada but they are a great company for web hosting, but I'm not sure it really matters where the servers are located....

I have zero experience with Agfa Anapurnas, but I have used UV printers for 11 years. In my experience (primarily the HP Scitex line) what you are showing would call for replacing a print head. From what I understand Cyan inks require a larger pigment particle and the larger particle size...

That's great, keep up the good work!

If you're carving that lettering by hand then big ups to you!!! Nice work!!! I've seen guys carve worse looking lettering using a CNC, good job brother! But I do have to admit that I fear it's going to amount a very cool hobby, would be tough to regularly get the right price for a hand-carved...

By the time 300 million profiles are purchased on the dark market the information will be stale and useless as people constantly update profiles, passwords, accounts, etc and as security precautions advance to catch up with it. As already mentioned anybody that attempts mundane credit theft will...

While I don't wholly disagree with what you are saying, and everybody should take the necessary precautions to protect themselves, the realistic possibility that an individual's nest egg will be successfully stolen is comparable to getting struck by lightning. If a criminal manages to pull that...

This is a really interesting conversation if you ask me....here's my thoughts on it.... 1. It's a given that there's no avoiding being tracked on multiple fronts. But I laugh at anybody tracking me, they are in for a very boring show lol. 2. I've built websites and worked with an SEO team on a...

hahahah! yep I'm only in love with her when her skin tone is just right hahaha! Good chuckle, thanks and best of luck!

Stud mount with studs lightly dipped in silicon is a good way to go for sheetrock or otherwise. And if you really need to you can also apply VHB/silicon to the letter backs along with the studs, but as mentioned it will tear up the wall upon removal. I've also used high tack vinyl designed for...

This is off post, but your avatar amuses me...it's one of the test print images from ONYX rip software so it popped out at me. I've seen it too many times when working with profiles in ONYX lmao!

In my experience there are minor advantages/disadvantages to both methods and both methods are executing the job equally successfully, I use both. So it’s kind of an arbitrary debate, find what works for yourself or the specific scenario and run with it.

It's actually a very quick process, minutes. But your method is also correct, for me personally I can set up vector shapes as fast as artboard shapes and so in a lot of ways it's the same process whether artboards or clipping mask. The artboard method has the advantage of saving file size and...

There’s many different and successful ways to do it. Many RIPs will do it for you but I’ve seen that go awry when occasionally a panel somehow is misaligned or not scaled correctly, but that’s another conversation. I’ll tile an image by first creating the layout of the 4’x8’ boards in...
