This is a design I'm doing for a merchandise store that will target tourists traveling through town. They had no idea what they wanted theme-wise. I figured since Illinois is the Land of Lincoln having Abe be the mascot would be appropriate. I thought it would be a bit more friendly of a...

Apparently it happens all the time. and since the winning design is so similar to Jill's concept, that could have happened here. But who knows. I have no proof that is how it went down. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if it did. And If it didn't I probably gave him a good idea...

If he even decides to pay. I also wouldn't be surprised if the "winning" logo was submitted by himself, after receiving hundreds of concepts and ideas for free. This is a common practice on those crowd sourcing sites. In addition to that he got his free advice here on signs 101, which appears...

I can about guarantee that the majority of the people that pitched in on this thread and tried to help you, had they known the truth about what you were actually doing, wouldn't have chimed in. I think you owe those people a huge apology for wasting their time. And I think you knew that if you...

I think you are reading several different ways to approach the same task in Corel, and confusing it as one task.

It appears as though in your screen shot the "outline" isn't an "outline" (like a stoke in illustrator) but is actually a contour, which is really a separate vector shape. "outlines" in Corel aren't vector shapes until you convert it into one. To do that you would go to: "arrange" > "convert...

Why because someone who is used to doing things in Illy is having a hard time doing a similar thing in a different program? Were you expecting the steps to be identical in both Illy and Draw? Back to the OP: from what I remember during my short time using illustrator, converting the stroke...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=768h3Tz4Qik&feature=related LOL I guess Tyrant and I were thinking the same thing.

The types of signs we WERE using lusterboard on we told our clients would be a 7 year product. But when we said that it was mainly because we were worried our paints wouldn't surpass the 7 year mark. Just to be safe you know. We've really started to get a handle on our paint system and have...

We had yet another customer call in about a failing sign. Sure enough it too was made with Lusterboard, a Laminators Inc product. Since we first started finding out about this problem early last year we have completely halted our use of this product and have fixed the problem signs on our own...

Yup it's LA

No on the Detroit. Yes on the Chicago. The Chicago one is easy though. hint: The design has something to do with Rt 66.

I'm creating a design where I plan on using two skylines of two large cities. They are a bit stylized with a slight art deco spin on it. Within the context of the design it should be easy to tell which city is which. But I'm curious if people can tell without the rest of the design spelling...

I didn't see your comment as disrespectful at all. It was a good point. I think it could go either way. It depends on the client.

Yeah me too. I actually use Hartford for my retirement. Other than the subject material for the "mascot" I don't think they look too similar though.

He actually requested a "buck". I'm assuming this falls under that category. I did research on "bucks" and used several reference photos to come up with this. But knowing the way these guys are with their hunting, I'm sure I have the wrong species or the horns aren't just so. LOL. When he...

I discussed the connection of the deer with his business. For the record this isn't floor/bathroom/kitchen tiling, it's farm tiling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tile_drainage. It's a common practice in Illinois farming. This isn't a literal logo, if it were they would have an image of this...

Here is a logo I just did. The main part of the design was all done in black and white (which is how I begin the majority of my designs). Then when I did add color and other design elements I was careful not to add anything that would jeopardize the strong contrasting image I started with. I...

I've got the Ipad2. I'll be honest. I don't use it for work much. Mostly play. We don't do door to door sales at our shop. Our clients usually come to us, But I can imagine that if we did I would use it more for business. I've taken notes here or there at meetings on it. I also have a few...
