  1. New logo....thoughts?

    It's funny JR. I almost suggested one of those t-shirt cannons (those things are cool) but the corporately trained side of me chickened out. Imagine Rob's new logo on a camouflage shirt. You're at the park this weekend. Some dude rolls up in a camouflage Patriot Designs pickup with one of those...
  2. Not just useful for posters

    Hey peeps. I just stumbled across Fresh and Excellent Photoshop Tutorials For Designing Posters (From 2010) - and found myself thinking that the some of the skills you might pick up by doing some of these tutorials could lend themselves very nicely to banners, wraps, window graphics, and the...
  3. New logo....thoughts?

    Wow. You people are so impressive. (Including you Rob. I thought the original design was good to go...). IMO, Rob, you need to get your web address on that shirt and set aside a substantial budget for giving those shirts out for free. There's no doubt in my mind that people will wear them...
  4. CAUTION: Rabbit Hole Warning!

  5. Great Resource

    Thanks Mano. :) I almost took specific issue with the "useful unbiased info" comment too. But whatever. The truth is that we're all biased one way or another, me and sjm included. It's all good. I've learned never to judge people until I've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, I'm a mile...

    Couldn't agree more with the sentiments expressed above - and happy birthday!
  7. Great Resource

    Squeegee (and Bigdawg!) - Thank you so much for your kind words - and for taking the time to share them! SJM... Your perception of who I am and what I do is an interesting caricaturization. Still, I would rather stand accused of peddling "common sense" than I would "magic". I haven't read any...
  8. Tom Green Owns Xzibit in Freestyle Battle (so funny)

    That was impressive. Even though I could only understand every 12th word. I was going to say that I can't stand rap "music", but I actually kind of dig it. My problem is with rap "culture". Tom Green has problems. He's funny, in a lot of ways, but I always find myself feeling a little too...
  9. Headway for Wordpress?

    OK. What you need to understand is that content and design are completely separate operations. Create and publish your web page content using Wordpress (via the "Pages" menu in the Wordpress dashboard). Headway has nothing to do with this. Style your pages using Headway, using the wireframes...
  10. Headway for Wordpress?

    Hey Gary. I don't recall: Have I mentioned that I use Headway? Blogs are just websites with a specific publishing/archiving functionality. In Wordpress (with our without Headway) you can create static web pages (ie. your website) just as easily as you create blog posts. Frankly, you want to...
  11. Busy day tomorrow...

    Looking forward to speaking with four (4) signs101'ers tomorrow. Has to be a new personal record.

    "Dezigining" :) Sounds like something Curly Howard would say.

  18. Need Help with Logo Design

    I'm no designer, but in this case... I would suggest giving some of Jenn's personal scrapbooks a thorough browsing, then trying to capture the essence of what she does / her unique style.
