You know what happens when you try to stop a train wreck... I think your solution was the best way to have handled this... having the client research what they want, and then throwing it back on the other designer for another round was the best way to go about it... Since we live in a...

Baaah, I say show them... it would make a great ranting thread!

I agree that at some point, polishing a turd is like scratching that itch... or uncovering the good idea that might be lurking behind... it must be done sometimes. I also say design the bad ideas, that way you get them out of the way to make way for the good idea. But before polishing...

Like the other logo post.... Like most logos on here for critique, we are clueless as to how you got to this point... Did you do any research? First thing I would do is google "CORE LOGO" part of the design process is research. You should not have one or 2 ideas, but many...

Like most logos on here for critique, we are clueless as to how you got to this point... Did you do any research? First thing I would do is gogle "MM LOGO" If you wanted a "graffiti logo" I would google that If you were looking into a "retro logo" Google... part of the design...

Stop looking at the layout! Broom them fast! YOU KEEP LOOKING AT IT!!! STOP!!!! They left another message... buttering her up with compliments, then asking that if she can't get to it, if she knows anyone starting out (meaning real cheap) that has time (meaning real fast)... It...

Rummaging through 3-400 pages is a huge pain sometimes. About 90% of our work is apartments signage, and we get HUD funded apartments. None of the plans we get have every sign required, just the standard code references. We find the project plan, landscape plans, elevations, floor plans...

Is this about clothing? Wait, the day I take off work and I missed a wardrobe malfunction?!? So I leave you alone for one day and this is what happens... having seen the other designers layout, I can see you wanting to help them... but after reading that post all the way through again...

VHB/Lords Adhesive aluminum angle to the back of sign... then attach angles/sign to existing 2" x 4"s

Oh, I forgot to add... I only design so I send out bid packages to qualified sign shops all the time. Most of these jobs are very sizable, but I already get paid for managing the project or sending it out to bid. I don't mark up, or ask or expect any money from my vendors. The only...

I agree, if a licensed contractor is making and installing the sign then why not have the ability to SELL the sign. All I said was the OP should make sure he knows what he's getting into before attempting to sub work out... especially electrical or any sign over 6' The people that help...

You might want to try a few ideas on your own, then start your own thread and see if you get any thoughts. Quite a few are more than happy to help... ummm, just make sure you are prepared for the criticism... You might look at a series of books called Logolounge... ...or get Dan...

I told myself I wasn't going to post on this thread anymore but... I have to agree with Joe here... It was not just that one image... there were many. Most not shared on the forum, but sent to members on the forum. John was pals with all of us designers he went after, we didn't respond...

Cool stuff... that's the kind of job where I'd love to get my hands dirty on.

I must have had a different experience... I'm not going to name my mentors but, being that they were very good at what they did, they still mostly did bread and butter sign work... replicating logos, slapping them on the sides of buildings and trucks. Once the excitement of doing the...

You forgot.... "All the while crowdsourcing copied and/or mediocre design work devoid of concept or process by overseas designers to clients, most who are incapable of coming up with an idea, let alone seeing a good one" Most here are "replicators" so cutting cost to be competitive...

So if I got this right, you are trying to get the halftone look through output? I haven't used an Edge in over 16 years but I remember the hassle of trying to control the halftone settings... it was Graphics Advantage at the time. I would not do it in output (if thats what you are trying...

I have to hand it too you icex, you are a lot more patient than I am, I would have had this guy walk a long time ago. When I get clients that tick me off, (like this one would) I usually spend the money I made on something stupid. I think $2.16 bucks a foot is wayyyy to cheap. Unless you...
