  1. Thoughts on my logo? Thoughts on the name?

    During the late 80's to late 90's, there were just about every "DOG" design firm imaginable. I remember an article in some design industry magazine about it. My favorite of the dog design firms from that time is still around... http://moderndog.com/18/ I see no problem with "blue dog...

  3. Best software for drawing golf holes

    I'd use the "Gradient Mesh" tool in Illustrator to make that effect... if you need the texture, you might be able to do that too by adding a texture, then playing with the transparency... oooops, I see you need it at various angles... I have Auto-Cad and can be done on it, but the amount of...

  8. Quoting Hand Painted

    As most of you know, we design here but we have been getting ready to start manufacturing and installing. We have a chance to do some hand lettering. I have experience in this, but the last time I worked on any paying hand lettering project was some 15 years ago. So my numbers are a little...

  14. Layout critique

    I don't think it matters what software the OP uses... it's coming up with the idea, practicing layout and knowing your type, use of space and color. I remember some time back the argument about learning design versus learning software. To the OP, don't confuse software expertise with...
  15. Layout critique

    What does Illustrator have to do with it? It's layout using a rectangle, type, outlines/strokes and clipart the same way you used it... just sized and rearranged. I think the only tool you might struggle with is "expand" and "pathfinder" and even then, it's a breeze once you use it On the...

  17. Shout Out To Gino

    Having been on the backside of this site and knowing some of the d-bag b.s. that some people pull in real life... Fred doesn't get enough credit and he can never be paid enough to deal with most of this crap. He's trying to run the most successful sign (and design) forum on the internet...

  19. Fine arts vs. Graphic arts majors

    I believe this video to be correct... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYLh94tN9cw I see no difference between the two, only of the individual who can cross over from fine art to graphics... or graphics to fine art. We all have limitations and talents... you just need to find someone...
  20. Laptop vs Desktop

    I do all my design work on a laptop. I hook up to a 30" monitor at home, or at the office. I ALWAYS use an external keyboard and mouse. I do this to keep the laptop away from liquids because I'm a clumsy oaf. After some 10 years of using laptops, I've never had a hard drive problem, but...
