OMG! Going thru the exact problem as we speak. Client sent a good vector eps file. mock it up, email the proof. "Approved". "Hey that sign you made for us doesn't have the tag line under the logo!" Here's the eps file again. It's the exact same file as before, you moron. Look at the proof...

We've had clients tell us we got their phone number wrong after getting their emailed approval that included the proof. "Did you view the attached proof?' "Well honestly, I din't even look at it" If I receive a file that I have to re-typeset or alter in some way (happens way too often) and I...

Yes, given my age and position in life I am happy to be in an art field. I wanted to be a freelance artist in my youth but couldn't afford "Art School" and well...hated school. joined the military, got married, had kids, yada yada yada. Now I have my pension + this and a good team here and a...

Interesting. Not so much as a quick measuring device but how cool it would be if you could use such an instrument to copy a sign shape. We often get signs brought in that the customer wants duplicated but they don't have a digital vector file. best we can do is snap a photo and scale the photo...

Hello all. As my bio says I'm retired U.S.A.F. (20yrs) Graphic Design wasn't my only career field with the military. I spent some years as an Air Cargo Specialist, some as an Aircraft Avionics Technician, then settled into this field for a number of years. That's where my limited Graphic Design...

Our weekly pay is based on Sunday thru Saturday. If you had to work the whole weekend your pay is split. Saturday on one check then Sunday on the next.

Always though someone should invent a tube like device that you could apply over the rivet and it would apply pressurized heated air to compress down onto the area whereby forcing the wrap material to conform to the rivet. don't go stealing my invention :rock-n-roll:

a combination of light oak slat board, off white painted drywall, various printed canvas tapestries and banners to hide various metal beams and cables, I'm not including a photo as it would scare some. Every corner is crammed with "stuff". I'd say altogether between our two buildings we have...

In my experiences X7 is awesome when loaded on a good fresh pc (manually loading windows so as to not load all the fluff). We had X4 on an upgraded pc and it crashed all the time. When we got X7, we completely wiped the hd and started from scratch to load all the programs and such. I've yet to...

You want to tweak the Default settings instead. The Doc settings are just for that document only. Every one you create thereafter will use the defaults. Below is mine but can't say if it's the ideal settings.

Thanks to John in this post I was able to tweak the code to get a contour on all selected shapes with the contour color same as the shapes color. Sub CreateContourSameAsFilled() ActiveDocument.BeginCommandGroup "CreateContourSameAsFilled" Dim s As Shape, e As Effect, sr As ShapeRange...

We had a guy from Jersey named Mike opening a business and insisted on a certain neon greenish color for all his signs. We printed several swatches and once he picked "the one".we added it to our color palette as "Jersey Mike Green"

Only time I see Corel make really large eps files is if fountain fills are used or raster images are included. MAY I REITERATE, DO NOT EXPORT OR SAVE AS AN EPS IF GRADIENT OR FOUNTAIN FILLS ARE PRESENT! Use "proper" pdf or tiff only.

We're a sign shop, therefore we print and design. I prefer to have vector art so I can get rid of all the unwanted fluff and create a "cut ready" file if need be. A proper pdf is all fonts converted. PDF is the way to go. ai files will be become pdf's on my end without bleeds or crop marks anyway.

Hourly. Might I also add that many times our installers have been tipped very generously by customers. Not us designers or the sales staff. btw, We have an exceptionally generous employer. This my career not just a job.
