Ughhh, Great Paul Rands zombie ghost... to put 99Designs and BOTW in the same realm as Logolounge and Under Consideration... please I beg you... ------- I posted earlier about the design process, did you use any of that? You are working with "enclosures" and "crests". The burst thing...

I use an ethernet hub.... https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1433

As a business practice, I wouldn't want my clients shopping my other customers design. In this case I would ask my original client or design another pattern similar.

They make good door stops... I know there are die hard users back in the day, but that machine was junk... I'd save and get an Edge

The force of a swinging 4' x 8' panel is only as strong as the hardware is holding it. Is the hardware holing it going to be as strong as the 2 posts? If the hardware is equal too or less than the structure... that served it purpose for 13 years, it's safe to assume a rigid mount is...

I said MOST... not all. And part of my last statement is, there are exceptions. Avila and SouthPaw are among the exceptions because they market themselves better than replicating sign shops. The other thing... rejecting crappy work is not arrogant, snobby and standoffish. It's a business...

I only design, so maybe my take on this is different but... Most clients going into a sign shop are usually looking for price. Most clients going to a design firm/ad agency/environmental graphic design firm are looking at your work. Does your website or storefront cater to quality graphic...

I agree with Tim.... My opinion is, a swinging 4 x 8 is a scary idea, better to make sure the structure and panel are solid. I get that they have no money, but by you installing it, does that make you responsible for it? If there was any doubt of the structural integrity, you should...

I practice both... my decision is based on how much money I have in the bank, and in what state of mediocrity I am feeling. By practicing both, I can have a balance of keeping my principles and have pride in my work, and be the sell out that I loathe, but then spend the money on something...

"Rapier" squished, squeezed and pulled....

You explanation is equally flawed... though it may be the world we live in, generally these competitions are not well thought out design, usually pinched ideas by third world designers who can win up to a months - years wage in one shot... if I could get paid that, I would do that and they...

I think you might need to start like most "graphic designers" start out with... The design process. See the flow chart to how most designers work. Then you might fill out your own design brief. We use design briefs as part of the contract, that way we have a target to shoot for. It gives...

PLEASE DON'T... You design signs already, learn to design your own, learn to design better layouts.

Driving to a meeting, me and Gigi needed to stop for gas. There was a gas station on the way, but the place is a dump with a lot of weirdos there so I tell her.... "Nuevo Blvd. Chevron - you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" She said "HUH?!?" I said "FROM STAR...

A few observations... I have "Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina" and seen that movie way too many times, it's called Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina located at: 3112 Outer Kerner Way Mos Eisley, Tatooine It would have been spelled in "Huttese" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWVMzXq4ewg...

The Adobe site is very hard to navigate. There are some very odd responses here... anyway, you are a blank slate. Unless you are running a Mac, you can't go wrong with either one. Personally, it's the software in between your ears you need to worry about. Though I do agree, there are...

Looks like a rough (or poorly reproduced) "Boingo"

Loaded question... I'll assume you are using Windows... What kind of work will you be doing, just signs? Or print and web?

I agree with Ditchmiester... design in the program you are used too. When I worked on an Edge, I designed in Corel... I'm 99% Illustrator now, so you will have to save it as a EPS 3.. (not EPS CS3!) Occasionally, Composer didn't like too many compounds and masks.
