  1. What would you charge?

    You don't tell us which substrate you intend to use. Alumalite? MDO? A banner? I don't discuss prices out in the open other than to say at minimum, materials times three plus your hourly shop rate. That layout could use some serious tweaking, such as unsquishing the name, using only one...
  2. Help IDing graphic type (firetruck)

    As I suspected! Thanks so much.
  3. Help IDing graphic type (firetruck)

    This is not gold leaf as far as I can tell. It's not SignGold either. Client says it's factory direct. I can't remember the name of the factory who produces these. (I think it's a firetruck manufacturer down South somewhere) It's gold with a clear laminate, which you can see at the edges...
  4. Fair Price or Rip Off?

    15 years ago I was getting $325 for a single-sided 4'x8' handpainted uninstalled sign. I charge way more than that now be it hand-painted or cut vynull. There is no way I'd do a sign that size for $250. Let them go to the local hack. I can't understand why, if printers are so expensive...
  5. Fair Price or Rip Off?

    I'd rather sit on my couch and go broke rather than sell a sign that cheap. And they were quoted so cheaply yet are still expecting someone to do it for less? I'd let them go to the other guy.
  6. Imitation Gold and Krylon...........................

    Buy a pint (or whatever size) of imi gold Ronan lettering enamel (or 1Shot if you want it to fade) and roll it on. Love....Jill
  7. Seriously can't take it much longer.

    Any time I am out in the world, but particularly when I am at some sort of social function, I get cornered and asked about a sign. In a way it's good, but 99% of the time, the thing that was so imperative for the person that they had to interrupt my dinner or whatever never materializes. It's...
  8. Local Lacrosse Club Logo

    Top right for me. Kind of hard to read but it still looks the most dynamic. Love....jill
  9. Trucking company t-shirt design

    I don't like the bright red and I don't like the wallpaper look print in it. I'd change that to maroon with maybe a red "hot spot" up towards the top. I don't like how the stacks (or whatever they are) frame the INC. because the angles in that drive me nuts. What about moving the oval to...
  10. Your opinion

    I'm not sure...try calling The Horse Trader in Kittanning.
  11. Your opinion

    Nope. I got a really cool coffee mug as a gift, and I didn't read the box it came in saying hand wash only. One circuit through the dishwasher and it was just a plain tan coffee mug. Love....Jill
  12. Major news on the homefront

    Al should be home tomorrow. Jess came home yesterday. Both are doing good, and Al is still Al but able to tinkle at will. :smile:
  13. Designing a Phone Number (rant)

    I hate dealing with most women. Particularly when they call themselves a "designer" Ugh. Agreed about charging $75-$100 per revision after two initial ones. Agreed about the stopwatch app. Some people think you do this job just because it's so much fun, it's so easy, you just push a button...
  14. New Diaz Sign Art site.

    I love it. It's vibrant, fun, different, and friendly. Makes me want to buy a sign. I can't comment on the phone part because I just have a PC. It loaded well for me and I liked the scrolly/moving stuff. Nice work. I wish I could afford a real website. Love....Jill
  15. X5 font issue and X3 default color pallet issue

    Bumping this up for someone to try and help. I lost my colors the other day and got help here. Did you do a recent Windows update? There was one which really screwed with the fonts in X5. What happened to me yesterday in X5 was nothing in my text area when typing out something, but when I...

    Surgery was Tuesday and the new kidney seems to be doing its job.
  17. Tuff customer

    ....and I'm sure she knows this and uses this tactic with everyone she deals with. I can usually smell one of these types within 5 seconds of dealing with them in person. She's probably smugly enjoying her deep discounted sign while bad-rapping you to everyone at this point. Some people make...
  18. Poop

    What the heck was that dog eating? :Big Laugh Love....Jill
  19. Major news on the homefront

    :rock-n-roll: Update on our pal Al Checca...he is doing good. He is sore (of course) but seems like he's in great spirits. Please keep the prayers and good thoughts coming. :clapping:
