  1. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Since I helped derail the thread a teeny tiny bit.... I would add shadowing, and maybe some pixelation to the mariachi dude, then incorporate a little in the layout so the dude and the layout have cohesive elements... Just a quickie idea...
  2. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Gosh... Now I'm hungry... NO MEXICAN!!! can we go to Macaroni Grill?
  3. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Yeah, hmmmm since Los Angeles was part of Mexico a couple of hundred years ago, I don't think that was forgotten or applies... I was sorta making the same point but... Thing is, not all ethnic restaurants are typical. At some point, stereotypical colors, typefaces and graphics become the...
  4. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    I thought we didn't discuss Dog, religion and politics in this office!
  5. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Are you saying dog does not exist?
  6. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Please noooooooo!!!! In this case, I beg you, no chile... "Mariachi" has a strong visual description, well, unless it's a mariachi playing chile... then again, if it's cuisine... does an cartoon sombrero'd chili with a 'stache and guitar say "cuisine"? I just looked up the top 10...
  7. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    This comment reminds of a rant one of my favorite designers did. He's very opinionated and goes off about what he's passionate about. This video is NSFW but really worth the watch... I would also look at the other video... But yeah, I believe when we're messing' with someones business, we...
  8. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Gino makes a point, being of that culture, I cringe over most interpretations of "mexican" graphics... though mexican graphic designers may not be any better. See Alfred E. Neuman image below... Is this a nice (hifalutin) restaurant or a taco joint?... if it's a decent restaurant, then...
  9. How do I make this look less like clip art.

    Thats a sweet layout...
  10. Best vinyl for dance floor.

    Like J Hill said, I would think a slip resistant laminate would work ... but the second you touch that floor, you are probably responsible. In a former life I used to be a nightclub DJ and saw plenty of people slip on their arse on a regular dancefloor. I think a non-slip is probably...
  11. My First Try

    Go ahead!
  12. My First Try

    Got back from dinner with my kid and thought I would show you my other ideas... When I saw this thread, I scrawled out a lot of ideas quickly... I was actually not going to participate. It hasn't always been a good experience for me. But sometimes I can't help myself. I used to work...
  13. My First Try

    First the crit: What I see is a layout, that braille spread out is not visually pleasing, and no one cares about knowing the letter for letter translation. I like circles, but this is just filling space. ------------ Every time I see someone saying they have "X" amount of education or...
  14. Now, that's low..................................

    I've been reading old paint stuff for 17 years, in fact he was calling himself old paint at my age. I have to admit that a few times he's been right on the money, I also know quite a few times where I question his sanity and maybe perhaps he should get a brain scan. You do some mighty fine work...
  15. Farewell to a Great Companion

    Lucky dog to have been loved that much... My condolences...
  16. Sometimes you just need to mention....

    The thing thats sticks out to me is alignments. It is an improvement, but it needs to be tightened up. I think you can center and align things so it's not so all over the place. Then add your effects...
  17. Now, that's low..................................

    You had a busy day... What did you have for lunch? I had Carls Jr, 1/2 pound burger, Chicken Strips, fries and a large Diet.... yeah that's right, I'm on a diet!!! As far as Old Paint... I need to have another look at him in his green speedo, that puts things in perspective... (of course...
  18. All I've been doing.... (A sign designers late night rant)

    I apprenticed for several shops, each specializing in something architectural... Of course, had to be a grunt and yard signs too. Be happy to help if you have any questions...
  19. All I've been doing.... (A sign designers late night rant)

    I thought a paper cut and lemon juice was drastic...
  20. Design/Build: Collaboration

    This isn't a sales pitch... I just read this article from a linked-in group: http://weidnerca.com/blog/5-reasons-why-design-build-is-rapidly-growing-in-construction/ A few can do these projects so this part may be common knowledge but large apartment projects can run into 6 figures...
