  2. Any thoughts on the two fonts in this logo?

    The first one looks stupid and the two as a pair do not go well together. EDIT: were you asking to identify them?
  3. Please convert all fonts when creating your pdf's

    Learn to use your Adobe software. You can easily flatten transparencies or outline fonts in a PDF with Illustrator or Acrobat. I don't know why you would pester your clients and their designers for something you can easily do yourself in under a minute.
  4. Color codes given are always conflicting

    No, it doesn't. From what we've learned so far, it sounds like the client's designer picked from the wrong Pantone system (Pantone Process Coated/Uncoated), so I'm suggesting they pick a new colour from the de facto standard for brand colours, which is Pantone Formula Coated. That way they have...
  5. Question CADTools or Alternative for Illustrator

    We design in 1:10 when we need to exceed Illustrator's size limit, and we've never had an issue with letting the RIP handle scaling it up 10x. I don't know why you would need a plugin to do kindergarten math for you. You're just moving the decimal over.
  6. Color codes given are always conflicting

    Both wrong answers. Read the original post. The colour spec the client gave is a Pantone CMYK code. Pantone does have a colour matching system for CMYK, and it has nothing to do with their formula colours for offset printing. myront your client's CMYK and RGB specs do not match the Pantone...
  7. Wood signage

    Wood signs are for clients that want a wood finish. If you're printing and applying to a substrate, you should probably be using coro/pvc/acm.
  8. Help Settle an Argument Regarding Ordering Panfaces

    Since everyone seems to have different terms they use, I simply ask for three measurements: the inner and outer dimensions of the frame on the cabinet, and the actual dimensions of the acrylic panel. There's no ambiguity there, so anyone who doesn't understand it should be swiftly replaced.

  10. Need Help Setting up tiles in Illustrator

    Clipping masks and pathfinder tools are the wrong way to do this. Artboards are the way to do it, as others have mentioned. Just draw a series of rectangles, sized and arranged exactly how you want the tiles to be, then select them all and go Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards. Put your...
  11. Spanish to English translation please

    I'm also still not clear whether you want English or Spanish text on the sign. English, according to your thread title, but it sounds like you want Spanish but with better grammar.
  12. Spanish to English translation please

    Ask your client to give you the Spanish text. Don't they have someone who speaks Spanish that will be answering that phone number?
  13. Spanish to English translation please

    I'm getting a little lost here. What's wrong with this one? Are you trying to rephrase it into better English? NOW HIRING Landscapers TOP PAY Dogwood Services 850-259-4780
  14. Spanish to English translation please

    Did you try Google Translate? It's working for me on this sample. It just says they're looking to hire landscapers and they pay well. https://translate.google.com/
  15. Has anyone here tried Topaz A.I. Gigapilel? Reviews?

    We bought Topaz AI Gigapixel immediately after testing a trial version of it, after reading about it in this thread. What it can do is mind-blowing. It's black magic in comparison to Photoshop or ON1 Resize. Worth way more than the $100 they're charging for it. If you think I'm overselling it...
  16. Looking for Berringer Aged Font

    That's something people often don't realize when they're downloading commercial fonts from "pirate" sites. Sometimes you get the real, original font files, but quite often the fonts are "ripped" from another format, like a PDF file or a web font, and are missing characters, kerning, opentype...
  17. Looking for Berringer Aged Font

    In the US, font software is protected by copyright, but the shapes of the letters are not. The font files (.ttf or .otf) that you install on your computer are the software, just to be clear. The software is what allows you to set live text, so that is where you are morally and legally obliged...
  18. Looking for Berringer Aged Font

    My answer would be no, it isn't. Whoever licensed the font in order to create the logo in the first place, their license does not apply to you, the sign company. Font license terms rarely allow for the client to share the font with you. In most font licensing scenarios, each company or...

    Actually, linking to an external site that distributes copyrighted files illegally is OK on Signs101, as clarified to me by SignsSupport a while back. Unless the policy has changed? Source: https://signs101.com/threads/looking-all-over-for-this-font.149152/#post-1398308
  20. File Up-load System

    This would be a great question for your web designer or developer. They should be able to add a file upload form that runs on your website, as opposed to a 3rd party service. If you'd like advice here, you could start by linking your website and telling us what CMS your website is running on.
