    You guys are awesome.
  2. Trying to find a font...

    With the worst reference pics. I need to identify the the font of the wording "bikes" on the green decal. The same font is used on both images. I've been given the task to re-create a bunch of Matt Hoffman decals from the early 90's for these super rare bikes that are almost extinct. Any help...
  3. new logo... after some hard thinking and a little advice ;)

    Warlock, try to keep it as simple as possible here. At least don't have competing elements in your logo. ie. the first one had a bears head and mountains. The latest one has a start trek symbol and swirls. Take a look at some popular companies of things you buy. I can almost guarantee you they...
  4. Dry Erase Vinyl?

    Gloss lam works fine. If it's for your shop I'd just use that. I've had suppliers tell me in the past that there is no difference.

  6. Burned out

    Get a "Bossy" when/if it comes out. Seems like a really cool idea. I might get one. I would name him Charles. "A Sticky note that Bosses you around." http://www.wired.com/2014/04/work-2-0-a-web-connected-sticky-note-that-bosses-you-around/ The interface has been designed to capture the...

  8. Artwork Release fee

    Holy ****! I come back after 2 days and this thread apparently went bonkers. It's going to take me a week to read all this with my grade 2 reading level. lol jks So just to update. The customers assistant cannot figure out how to do anything with illustrator. So I don't have to charge any fee's...
  9. Artwork Release fee

    That makes complete sense. I guess where that gets tricky for some, like us. Is we also produce all the signage, do all the printing etc etc. So we've been stuck in this. "We'll handle everything for you." way of doing business. I really like your point though Dan. Thanks.
  10. Artwork Release fee

    Thanks Everyone. Although I'm still unsure what to charge because there are so many "what if's". Tis' a sticky situation indeed. Like Justin said, what if I charge them a hefty artwork fee and then they decide illustrator is too difficult to use and come back? or what if they figure it out...
  11. Artwork Release fee

    Hi All, I am looking for some wisdom. Here's the situation. I have a customer who I created a brand identity for and recently called me saying "I just bought Adobe illustrator, That's what you make my signs and flyers on right? Well, my assistant is going to learn how to use it and create my...
  12. 18oz banner for L25500

    Yes they do! This bump reminded me. For any HP L25500 users who are getting a "wave" through their banner prints. I've got something for you to try out. Try replacing the little black rollers that clamp the material to the platen. I was having this issue again on some banner. Replaced those...
  13. Whats the scoop? mini rant

    The not answering questions gets to me, and it seems to be a regular occurrence when communicating through e-mail. I wonder if it's because people are e-mailing when driving? I love it so much when a regular client goes and finds themselves their own designer to avoid our fee's and then I have...
  14. More display posters for the shop.

    It's isometric projection. A 3d object made up of mostly 30 degree and 90 degree angles. There are no vanishing points like in perspective and in a proper isometric drawing all the lines are the correct length. Try it out. You can mess with it in illy or corel quickly if you create a 30 degree...
  15. Comic Sans redone, it's great and it's free!

  17. What is the goofiest thing a customer has said to/requested of you?

    From today. Customer -"My signs look awesome! By the way, How do I get my Facebook page to work?" Me -:banghead: I always get customers, or neighboring shops coming to me with their tech problems. I need to make a sign saying something to the effect of "Tech help $10 for 10 minutes" Maybe...

    That is just sick! Can I come work for you? I will work for water.
  19. USB to TV?

    Your best bet is to make a video of the pictures & ads put that on the usb stick and then put that into the tv. I believe iphoto does this easily.
  20. Latest Gadget.
