The navigation does the same thing. Click on the About button, it auto scrolls to the about section, click on one of the Services, it auto scrolls to that service. Click on Contact, well you get the picture. For those interested the layers effect is script called parallax. If you do a...

The snap thing is something I'm working on. I agree that it would really help. Someone has developed a script that does it. I'm just trying to figure out how to implement it without conflicting with the other scripts that are running. It's easier said than done.

I was careful not to make the important parts like the navigation or the body of text move. Really it's just a few images the title and part of the background that moves for each section. Once you stop scrolling, everything stays put. It's just an interesting effect I saw on a few other...

We've got a new website! It's been a long time in the works. We've been working on it on and off for a while now. It's difficult working on your own stuff, while you're trying to get everyone else's projects done. It's that old adage, "the cobbler's kids never have new shoes". The site also...

Thanks everyone. The client ultimately didn't want to use any bird imagery in the logo. We discussed it early on and he said he wasn't sure about using bird imagery back then, but wasn't 100% against the idea. He was curious to see what I would come up with. So.... I could tell then his...

I wonder what the "updated" thing is all about on the new forum?

I was trying to figure out a way to combine towing and bird imagery. Here is what I came up with LOL. I figured he might not go for it, and I was right.:Big Laugh It was worth a try.

Is the logo nice? You could use it as an opportunity to sell them a new one. You could try to sell them on the idea by assuring them that your logo would be available in multiple file formats and would be production ready for the various needs they may someday have. I know that has always...

I can handle "make it pop". I've heard much worst. 9 times out of 10 "Pop", means the design is too simple and corporate for the client, and simply adding a strong contrasting drop shadow or contour is all they want. If the design already has those elements, pop usually means just change some...

We use EcoSol on Oracal. We have found that how soon you laminate and/or install after the print comes out of the printer won't affect longevity at all. It doesn't matter what the ink coverage is either. However, the amount of time you wait does effect the repositionable properties of the...

Here's one for you. It's a long one, so I apologize in advance. This was several years ago: A company from California hired us to design, make and ship them lettering for their truck fleet. Considering they probably could have saved a bunch... Why they didn't have the work done locally didn't...

Since he's coming back for more, it sounds like he was simply looking for a discount the last time he was in. There are people out their that pull that one every chance they get. They believe that if they pretend they are unhappy with the service they got, you will feel bad and charge them less...

Take Dan Sawatzky for example. (I hope he doesn't mind me using him as an example) We often talk in this industry about our shop minimum. I don't feel comfortable repeating what he said his was, (that would be for him to say), but let's say it's much, much, much higher than ours. It's safe to...

Gino, You are talking about looking at signs as commodities. Well for us, our costs for the specific type of signs you are talking about maybe more than some other shops, but we charge what we need to charge in order to make a living and watch our business grow. Because we ALSO do other types...

That's so true. I hope to God no one finds out. But some people just won't budge, and I don't want to refund their money after all the work I put into it. So I'm not left with any other choices. Before I started the three strike rule. I'd get so worked up about them changing what I thought was...

Oh man, that's tragic. If it's customer supplied work, we address each job differently. But if it's really bad, we will try to talk the client out of using that design and hiring us to design something new.. If they won't budge, we may turn down the job. It just kind of depends. Now here is...

What separates shops and causes inconsistent prices from one shop to another? Quality. Quality can be many things: Longevity is basically the quality of materials plus the knowledge to put the sign together correctly. One example of longevity: in our area, we use better paints for...

I beat the game this weekend. MIND BLOWN. I love stories like that so I enjoyed it, but the visuals are what made the game in my opinion. Also I loved the little music covers they had. But yeah WI's right, Algerian definitely got some play in that game. LOL Wouldn't have been my pick but...

When it comes to selling a job, I prefer to talk on the phone over the email. In person or face to face is above all other forms of communication though. The main reason I prefer those other forms of communication over email is because with emails there is too much back and forth and waiting...

Yes, you can see in the third photo all the people gathered around to watch the demonstration. Here's a video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXsdxzx1qMg&sns=em
