Yes, unfortunately a lot of times when you search for fonts by name on Google, some of the first results are pirate sites.

You can't toggle between tools with the same shortcut key, but they each have a shortcut. Press M for the rectangle tool and V for the selection tool (assuming you're in Illustrator—Photoshop and Indesign have different shortcuts). Also, you can find the shortcut for any tool by hovering your...

That's not a legitimate font site. You can buy it from Emigre here: Brothers Or you can get it for free on Typekit if you have Adobe CC.

If the font came in a 7z file, you didn't get it from a legitimate source. There are a lot of "free font" sites that are actually just pirate sites giving away paid fonts for free and making money off the ads. As a professional, it's your responsibility to pay closer attention to these things...

Transparencies in complex files with both vector and raster art will often cause problems like this. Some RIPs will process the raster and vector parts of the file differently, so when they're layered together with transparency, you'll get errors in the print. The easiest solutions are to...

Here's a font that's similar to, and probably inspired by, Mobilaire. Armstrong - Webfont & Desktop font « MyFonts

You could pay $15 to try the Monotype Library Subscription for a month—Lubalin Graph is included in it. Otherwise if it doesn't need to be exact, Typekit has plenty of free options that are similar, like Museo Slab.

Our computers are all hardwired to one router, and we have a NAS storage drive hardwired in to centrally store all of our files. It's super fast, even for saving large Photoshop files and the like.

That still won't work at night. Shine a light behind your burgundy vinyl and watch it turn red.

Clearly your customer doesn't understand how colours work, and you didn't think this through before you made the sign. If you make burgundy brighter, it isn't burgundy anymore—it's red, or pink. Even if you dim it, it's not going to look like burgundy if it's the only thing illuminated at...

It's kerning. Letter spacing (aka tracking) is when you add or remove space between all the letters in a block of text. Kerning is when you adjust the spacing between particular pairs of characters.

Your kerning needs a lot of correcting on the script font, as it's disconnected in places where it looks like it should connect. There are a few other kerning issues as well (N. W.P., 20 1 4). Also, the inside corners of your white border, where the curve at the top meets the horizontal, should...

Reverse print the same image on clear vinyl and apply it to the back of the acrylic.

If you're cropping a lot of images into squares and laying them out in a grid, you could use Illustrator but InDesign would be much faster. You can step and repeat to create your grid of frames, then load all the images at once into your Place tool and click-click-click them into each box on the...

Is that the original image or did you "enhance" it for identification? Often the original image is helpful to see as well.

Ah, my apologies, I misunderstood what you said.

Do you think that's the original? It definitely isn't.

Are there really people out there that innocently don't realise that it's bad to rip off someone else's artwork? I don't believe that for a second.

Best of luck. GradLink is already an active trademark in the US, by the way. Takes 30 seconds to search the USPTO.
