I think the OP was just trolling. I haven't seen him post anything since. It kind of sucks too, because he made is sound as though all of us Corel users were bush league. I was looking forward to learning from his expertise.

Whether the other sign shop is bad or not, taking a week or two to complete projects may not be a negative. It could mean the other sign shop is busy, which may really only be bad for the customer that hasn't planned ahead and is ordering their signage at the last minute. IF you are picking up...

Since you're new I think you just had your cherry popped and experienced Bad Customer Type #5: The customer that waits until it's time to pay their bill to tell you they are unhappy with the work you have done. This is actually quite common. He was most likely just fishing for a discount...

Eps or PDF should be fine. Perhaps when sending that artwork also send them an exported raster image as a proof. It's not perfect but it may help for the majority of those issues. Also CorelDraw has the ability to switch between color profiles. So letting them know what color profiles you are...

It's a great feel good story and reminds me of my own childhood. I remember always building stuff out of cardboard boxes and old vinyl roll tubes as a kid.

Good advice. And I 2nd Gino's thoughts too! If the OP's personal portfolio contains only work that was done for a previous employer, well then start over building your portfolio from scratch, starting with your own stuff, followed by a few fictitious clients, until you start filling it with pay...

I think that's the second time I've seen someone this week defend poor design choices by claiming that making something illegible will somehow help that design get noticed. Busy isn't eye catching and clean isn't safe... it's smart. Some people on here go for the "clean look" because at least...

Looks real nice. The only critique I would make is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AxwaszFbDw

Great design Dan. I love ribbon scripts. I made one for the first time last year for a party supply store. I was really proud of how it turned out but the client didn't like and instead went with her "idea". Well apparently she made a habit out of ignoring advice of other craftsman and...

Yeah I'm sure its definitely something a lot of shops have done as well, but the longer they are in the business, and the more they learn about the risks involved, you can bet they put an end to it. I think that is where the OP here is very lucky to have joined this forum and to have...

I think it helps to look at it this way. Even if you aren't making money off of it, it's not your art to give away. Also by giving away someone else's art for free, you take away a potential sale of theirs. Perhaps WB sells taz decals.

Nice. I love that style. It reminds me of this slot car track I had as a kid. One of the cars was a corvette that had similar graphics on it. Brings back some great memories. Thanks for posting!

I'm sorry PLEASE don't be mad... Will you ever forgive me?

Grrrrrr

It's sounds as though your client needs a logo, even if it is meant for just an event. So that is what you should sell them before you do any work. Here is how we handle sign designs or other layouts vs logos. Every time a client comes in needing design work done for any type of project, they...

Some of you guys about had me sold on the white B/13. I was definitively on the fence about it. The client just stopped in and I showed him both options. He really liked the yellow B/13, but he's going to take the sketch back and stew over it and probably show it around:omg:. So we will see...

Yup, I think that's the chart. Thanks for posting it.

:roflmao:

I have a few designs in my portfolio that weren't chosen, but I like them better than the one the client did pick. I also have a few that are just concepts, kind of like your pub design. I'd say if you are going to end up using it for something else at one point, I wouldn't put it in your...

Portfolio Filler.
