  1. Making designer like patterns, Any good tutorials?

    It's pretty easy actually. After you make whatever symbols you want to use for the pattern, you need to decide how large they need to be on the hood and how you want them spaced. In my attached example, I am showing how to create pattern of 1 inch X's and O's that repeat every 10 inches. Open a...
  2. Critique my Card - Final Round

    I think you guys are splitting hairs now. A bad design is a bad design... but now you guys are just getting into personal preferences. The last revision looks fine. Good job with the refinements. I particularly like the QS version of the logo. It would look great embroidered on a hat.
  3. where to buy substrates in Houston, Tx

    Welcome to S101. What part of Houston is your shop located? We are on the NW side and have a number of suppliers available to us. Some of them even offer free daily delivery.
  4. Critique my Card - Round 2

    You've got too much redundancy on the back. Part of our job as designers is copywriting. The job of a copywriter in advertising is to get the point across is as few, memorable words as possible. Some things to consider... "Signs, Banners, Vehicle Signs" - really? Vehicle signs? "vinyl...
  5. Recieved this from a supplier

    Hey Chris... this is the first I've heard of any problems. What's the story there? We haven't had any issues at all. We strictly use 180cv3 and 8519 on pretty much everything we do.
  6. Boat Wrap

    Actually, the graphics only appear to run up toward the front. There are some crazy compound curves at work there. If you were to flatten out the sides of a typical bay or bass boat, you would find that the graphics actually need to run down toward the front in order to appear straight when...

    Man, this is amazing and awesome news... perhaps even miraculous!
  8. CoroPlast Printer

    Hollywood... newbies catch a lot of flack around here. Some members don't react well to newbies coming in and asking a bunch of questions about stuff it has taken them a whole career to learn. They should probably just come out and tell that to all newbies when you apply for membership. Most of...

    You've got a lot of people praying for you OP... now you can add one more. That's some powerful stuff!
  10. Copyright Infringment...........................

    One other thing... if you don't have the funds to buy the rights to use a waving flag pic, you can also make one pretty easily. Draw yourself an American flag in Illustrator. Then using texture overlays and displacement maps in Photoshop, you can make your own photorealistic waving flag complete...
  11. Copyright Infringment...........................

    They both look terrible. Do you really give your customers images that you pull off a web page a blow up? With all that pixilation? Do yourself a favor. Go to a stock photo site and buy a couple of high resolution waving flag images. You can use them in different applications. If an image or...

  15. A little font help please

    Any thoughts on this one? I can get close on everything but the "a". Thanks! Andrew
  16. Going with a new look ...

    I agree with Jillbeans, middle right is the closest thing you've got to good so far. On that logo... The "signs and design" font look squashed. You should never stretch or squash a font to the point where it is noticeable. Also, "signs and design" is not visually centered under Redwave...
  17. Going with a new look ...

    Heath's design in post #13 is the best thing in this thread. I totally agree with his statement on the horizontal and stacked treatments of the graphic. Having the word "RED" in red really makes the logo stand out in the crowd. Great job Heath. Whatever you do, don't add a drop shadow to this...
  18. Trailer wrap questions

    You might want to take into account the number of full trailer wraps each of your voters have done. It's probably not a good idea to take advice to heart from someone who has only done it once or twice. And remember, we're not talking about spot graphics, lettering or partial wraps in this...
  19. Trailer wrap questions

    Removing screws is just plain screwball. Wrap over them. There are a few different techniques. Try them all and do what works for you. As for the aluminum seams... cut em. We typically go one step further and print our vinyl panels so the seams are at the aluminum seams... seamless trailer wrap...
