Yeah and it's not that Red and Black can't be used together. I use them together all the time. You just need to keep things like contrast in mind, and realize that red isn't a lighter color. Those examples you posted. Some of them I think work great, some not much. Look how much clearer...

I never asked for cheerleaders. I actually enjoy the challenge that comes with some good old fashioned criticism when it comes to design work. So fire away. I get it from my clients all the time. However I'm confused by your question about "vibrant colors". I always thought that I used nice...

Sure if you drive 300 miles away from a business card you won't be able to make out any of them. And If you sat right in front of a 50 ft tall sign, sure you could read them all. But that's not the point. the point is that one example is easier to read or understand, than the other. Up...

Red is not the "brightest" of all colors. That's a misnomer. Also, I don't see "brightness" and "vibrant" as being the same thing. Yes Red is certainly a vibrant color (or it can be, there are some dull reds out there too), but most of the time it is not "bright". The best way to test the...

It doesn't matter if you are reading or "seeing patterns", you can't make out a pattern in the "worst" example (or at least it will take you much longer to make it out) because their isn't enough contrasting white space around the shapes/letters to tell what it is. In fact, what makes "worst"...

:Big Laugh Anyway, this isn't about threads closing, however I had a nice long reply typed up, because I was going to be nice and help someone out with their use of Red and Black in their design. So Let's not dig up that, but instead let's talk about using Red and Black together in...

Yeah that was my thoughts exactly.:thumb:

I'm afraid that if we were to drop the script "thirteen" it will just read "PUB" to some. The 13 part is important to the owner (his old football number), so it needs to be obvious. having the "B/13" white, was considered, But I'm afraid that not having it a different color would be too subtle...

So my brother initially took down the information on this project. On his work order he wrote the number "13" down, but the "1" and the "3" were so close together that it read "Pub B". So that is where I had the idea to make the "B" in "PUB" double as a "13" Other than that, there are no...

I love it, the "Low Budget Sign Kit" a sharpie, blank 18"X24" Coro Sign, and if I may add one thing, a My Little Pony sticker pack to really make it "pop" all for just $49.99. I think you're on to something. People want walmart prices, give them a walmart product.:thumb:

:ROFLMAO: That would work too.

It's all about picking your battles and knowing when the appropriate time is to do so. I personally believe that OP's post was not the time or place to pick that type of battle, especially since nothing positive was going to result from telling a guy who honestly believes that something...

After quoting a job for a customer, we got the famous line "is that the best you can do?"... Don't get me wrong, it won't ruin our day. It's like that old saying says: If you get 100% of the jobs you quote, then you aren't charging enough. We just said "sorry, that's our price". He wasn't...

I agree with most of what you have to say, but let try not to cast such a wide net, especially considering that a few of those guys posting are far from "liberal". This was just a simple case of being considerate or not, for me it had little to do with ideology. I know plenty of people who...

Thanks. Corel actually flew me up to their headquarters in Ottawa a few weeks ago for the X6 release party. I had a chance to meet the designers that are creating these ads in addition to a bunch of other folks that work on the software. Their slogan for X6 is "show your true design style" and...

And that is how it's done. Nice work.

Yeah I prefer my woman out of their bikinis too.

Try going into "tools" -> "color management" -> "default setting" -> Then change "presets" to "Simulate Color Management Off" before you export. See if that works for you.

What do you mean "You people"??? :Big Laugh I think those questions about cloud or subscription based services are very legitimate questions. That type of information may persuade some of us to switch what we are using now. I mean comments like "I save a bunch of money a year by using this...

We used to use Estimate and we loved it! Then they went to subscription based. Our thought was since our version was bought and paid for and worked for us, why on earth would we want to "upgrade" to the subscription version? Then we started noticing glitches in Estimate. It wasn't saving our...
