Hey Dynam1¢, I've got a question for you: What happens when you want to grow as a business and your overhead increases, hire employees etc? You will probably need to raise your prices to pay for that right? Did they teach you in your marketing class what happens when your prices jump from...

So is that the norm now? To ask customers to see what other sign shops quote? I mean how do you ever see this information? Do they volunteer it? Like going to Walmart with a coupon from dollar general so they will price match? (even in that scenario I'm pretty sure Walmart just matches that...

They are all great, but I love the front porch one and the Dave Mark Design.

I agree with what others have posted. Based on what you've said, this doesn't sound like the ideal set of circumstances. But if things were different, and I believed that you had a good chance of getting through to them, I would try to convince them that simply picking out a font does not make...

The blend tool, then use the "path properties" tool is the best way I have found to follow certain paths. If your just following a circle path, I have found the easiest way is to create your first dot, using your snap to objects command snap that dot to a quadrant on the circle path, double...

Are you kidding me? besides, Stella Artois isn't even the only beer with the name "stella" in it. yup. A bunch of it was done on the VersaUV LEC, Some were printed on other printers like the VersaStudio BN-20 and VersaCAMM VS

Here is the 6 pack box template: Biz Cards: Menu: Table Tent:

I take my lettering, I then give it an internal contour. I then take my engraved looking texture and power clip it inside of that internal contour and make it a shade lighter than the lettering.

Here's the design for the actual meet: Kewanee is known as the "hog capital of the world" hence the hog hanging out with the dog. Registration for the event can be found here: http://www.thewalldogs.com/kewaneesignup.html

Who's coming to Kewanee next year?

Have any of you looked at the source code on Obama's site?

I can almost guarantee we get the same type of clients, and I can tell you this, they can afford all of those things. They have purchased much more expensive things for their business, some of which I would argue have less value to the success of their company, but I guess that's a matter of...

Don't you see? The only reason so many are unwilling to pay a certain price for creative services,,, the reason they don't respect or value what we do is because so many in our industry or other graphic design industries don't value their own services and don't ask for higher prices...

You know instead of using crowd sourcing as an excuse to practice, in which case your practice perpetuates the idea to companies and individuals that a designers time isn't that valuable, perhaps instead you could spend that time building up your own portfolio with projects where you set the...

Every time a person walks into your shop and expects you to do design or any preliminary work before they even decide to hire or pay you for your services, remember that feeling. Every time they take your quote and sketches and shop them around, remember that feeling. Every time a person walks...

All that really proves is that the old tale of the emperor and his new clothes is timeless and still applies today.

Why on earth would you want to do that? It hurts your business by removing a profitable service you could be offering, and it hurts theirs by allowing them to create what will most likely be a crappy sign. You take design out of the equation, what separates you from the guy down the street...

I agree. I've never seen coreldraw open an eps or ai like that, It looks like something autotraced not an error opening a vector file.

I agree. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't have fired him, however he probably beats you up on your price because you do end up lowering it for him, even if it is higher to begin with. He probably just assumes that's the way it's supposed to be at your shop because you have played that game in...
