It appears as though this person hasn't hired you for your skills (her loss) but instead has hired you to be her personal software operator... the middle man between HER ideas and the sign or design. We all know these people exist. I get them every once in a while myself. They believe their...

:goodpost: I agree 100% I also agree with critiques given and Colin did a great job showing how the one design can be improved. It's color theory. Google it. I'm sure you will find a lot of info on the topic. It's a very powerful tool in design especially. Certain colors tend to trigger...

I agree. The gun stuff was a bit too much. To me, and this is just an opinion, it appears as though this father's overly aggressive behavior has rubbed of on his own kid, and now he's having to deal with it. Yeah what the daughter did was wrong and stupid. But it seems a bit hypocritical for...

I downloaded the lambo template. Is it just that one tiff? As a Corel user what I think would be great is to have a vector shape of the body part of that car to go along with that tiff. Then in Corel you could then design your panels within that vector shape using the powerclip feature. Plus...

I have found that can be said for opening any file like that originating from one design program in a different design program.

I think a good topic for a future video(s) would be sign education. You are doing a nice job of showing people who are new to this industry the different tools to consider getting. But I feel like people that are new to this industry could also benefit from any resources you found helpful for...

I don't play. My brother does though and he keeps going on and on about it. I think graphic designers and sign makers should play Bioshock 1 and 2 at least once. There is all sorts of art deco visual eye candy in those. Can't wait for Bioshock infinite!

The owl is such a cool looking bird. I feel like just an eye doesn't quite do it for me. The owls face has some unique features making it relatively easy to come up with a real simple stylistic illustration.

We do a lot of semi truck work. In a bad economy these guys seem to get hit hard early on. It makes sense right? Less goods to be transported around. They tighten their belts and that means they stop buying new trucks. With no new trucks, that means less truck work for us. We went from 4 or...

I hear ya.:thumb: At least with a bank you would have a much better chance of measuring that 80%. And that is what I was getting at. People that say "you just need to change X% of the design" need to stop and think about that statement for a second. If for some reason that were true, how...

How many of us have heard that one? Someone comes in with an image they found on google that they printed out and wants you to copy it. When you say no they usually follow that up with: "I heard that if you change at least 3 things about the design I can use it." Or "I heard that as long as...

There is a huge difference. The difference is one can submit any design they want into a contest like that...you could have sent in designs that have absolutely nothing to do with Corel if you felt like it. I submitted several designs in the CorelDraw contest. All but one of those were designs I...

I can appreciate all American made rides. I own a Ford Mustang, but drive a Chevy Silverado for work. I don't have loyalty towards one brand over another, however I thought this was kind of funny: http://jalopnik.com/5881988/chevy-super-bowl-ad-you-will-die-if-you-buy-a-ford

Not that old. it's from a 90s video game. For those of you that don't know... enjoy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfwqvUPIRkg&feature=related Now Space Invaders is an old video game.

Anyone else thinking of the game space invaders?

I freakin love it! The ONLY thing I might change if it were me is to go with a darker color other than that yellow for the outter most outline. It competes too much with the other elements. If it were darker it might drop back in space allowing everything else to stand out. But other than that...

Our largest source of business is truck drivers, and fleet graphics for trucking firms. The graphics applied on these trucks get more abuse from the elements then most signs do. For these types of jobs, we measure, design, print, apply, and sometimes pinstripe these trucks in a single day. If...

What was this thread about again???? Oh yeah the GTO. That poor car. :Big Laugh Fellers is alright in my book though. They are a bit over the top, but they are a pretty decent supplier. Anytime I have ever poked fun at their style, it was completely unrelated to how I feel about the...
