  1. Total Newb needing help

    Like what was said, sounds like a profile issue... If you are just printing "prints", should be a no brainer. If you have to design... well, that's where your shortcomings will show. It's not like slapping things on the screen and pressing print. I'm not a bad designer and would not...
  2. Back Drop (Step & Repeata)

    What will be behind the mesh material? Lighting from behind will most likely show up if people are having photos taken in front of it.
  3. Needing input and feedback on company logo

    You have to understand Imperial County.... A lot of people think of California as Hollywood, Disneyland and concrete jungle... Then there is where I live... cow, ducks, orange trees and watermelon outnumber people, and Imperial County... 27% unemployment, one of the worst places in the...
  4. Window Vinyl, Sign Permits and Customers Service

    :goodpost: I think codes are a good thing... imagine the free for all there would be with window graphics everywhere. good layouts, hack jobs... This is what happens when hacks runamuk... can't wait for code enforcement to come, I now have to look at that every day!
  5. Need Engineer Drawing for a Polymetal Panel

    YJ (A merchant member and the firm I deal with) On the ridiculousness, well, most likely thank hack sign shops attaching panels with concrete nails and silicone (seen this myself)
  6. Matthews Paint Crisis!

  8. Calling all Design Police............................................

    Not true, you (the designer) owns it and you need no document to prove it. But a registered copyright has more leverage and more potential for larger lawsuit amounts and in some cases jail time depending on what was done. I believe there are flaws in the system. The legal part.... When...
  9. Calling all Design Police............................................

    What I am saying is: The work is equally protected under copyright... whether a sign shop did it, or a design firm Kinda cool that the little guy is protected. On the Mark Cuban thing: I design a logo with all the goodies based on the scope... that is. it's for its intended purpose...
  10. Facebook Shill

    It's been explained to me that views add credibility. Many people looking for services, especially locally will look through Facebook. If you have 5 likes, they might wonder what is wrong with your service or product. Bumping up your numbers helps, but growing them locally and...
  11. Calling all Design Police............................................

    I still think there is some flaw in all your analogies... it's not the same work but the work is worth more... it is usually about scope. Think of the average reproducing sign shop as a bad song... say this one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n3MbVoLYns Then think of a good design...
  12. Calling all Design Police............................................

    I tend to agree... but the food looked pretty good to me... though I was not willing to try it.
  13. Calling all Design Police............................................

    This is tricky... I'm only talking as a designer. If I design a wrap, and that scope is a design for that one vehicle. Then the client takes it in for maintenance, they should ask me to send the file. They gets a few new ones done... no biggie, yeah, it's beyond the scope, but within reason...
  14. Calling all Design Police............................................

    I agree, but my anti-gravity device wasn't working that day... besides, it's following the swoosh to make that split.
  15. Calling all Design Police............................................

    Here is proof that sign shops need to let the designer do his job. What I did.... And then what some hack did... My pitted arse - cash or credit or when the check clears, customers always right! Some of you sign shops suck! FUGGERS!
  16. Calling all Design Police............................................

    Opinions and business practice and what is correct has nothing to do with copyright if copyright has not been transferred. The way it's transferred is a written statement. Sign shops are NOT copyright police. But they should cover their arse. A good business practice for everyone is have...
  17. Calling all Design Police............................................

    This.... I only design, so.... does all the work I do for a client transfer all the rights or reproduction to that client or some sign shop to reinterpret? Absolutely not. Why? Some layouts can not be transfered if they are using clipart or photos that have restricted usage... or the...
  18. Wasting time with customers. Need advice.

    I'm thinking the admins need to reconsider your title...
  19. Wasting time with customers. Need advice.

    Then she should understand that it's going to cost her.
