  3. Any ideas for a "job" progression reader board

    All we need is a color coded system to show job progression. The problem seems to be the number of the various steps involved. Stage 1 - job itself with particulars i.e. client/agency name, due date ,etc. Stage 2 (blue) - proofing stage. Date proof is expected to be completed, a way for the...
  4. Any ideas for a "job" progression reader board

    Our sales staff uses Mass 90. I know nothing about it. I did ask them about it though and they had never heard of it. We're currently looking to get away from Mass 90 anyway for its limitations.
  5. Suggestions Vector based software vs using photoshop and vectorizing

    NEVER design solely in any raster program. You can use raster elements that you tweak in photoshop and such but all designing should be done in a vector program. Especially if cut vinyl is involved. Don't know how many times I've received raster files for cut vinyl that consists of just straight...
  6. Any ideas for a "job" progression reader board

    I work in a very fast paced sign shop. 95% of our printing/production is done in house. Currently we have a 4ft x 8 ft dry erase calendar to aide in tracking workorders. The sales staff will jot down when a proof should be expected (promised or tentative, customer/business name, material, etc...

    Bingo. Sign will be displayed in "Mexican" Spanish as we have a lot in our "city". We want to be sure it reads best grammatically. Given the the time constraint we will go with the "green" as first posted.
  8. Spanish to English translation please

    1. I was given a paragraph in Spanish from a person who doesn't speak Spanish. Neither do I or anyone I work with. 2. It was given in a manner that doesn't fit well on a yard sign that is to be wider than it is tall. And the wording changes whenever I move words around. 3. Like I mentioned in...

  13. Need help with Letters

    draw a curve and shape it as needed. Make it a thick outline then convert to curves. I use a macro to set the drop shadow effect but you can just use the drop shadow tool. Keep in mind a white shadow will only show if set to Normal instead of Multiply. Once you have the shadow set up like you...

  17. I'm a blessed man today...

    Not sure what the situation is but I contemplated the same fate when I was young and it was "swept under the rug" by family. "It's all in your head" they'd say. Years later I sought help and learned that they were right, it was all in my head, so to speak. It's called a chemical imbalance. Once...
