Working in full size means squat to me, I still have to give city/permitting/engineers/architects/fabricators and installers scaled drawings. As far as the software, if you need basic scale tools (and that fits most sign shop requirements), Corel is fine. Yeah Illustrator requires a 300.00...

I live on the boonies. If I relied on local business to keep me busy, I would be broke.

Just check yourself out of this bourgeois motel, push yourself from the dinner table and say, "No more Jell-o for me, mom! Then have a corn dog... :corndog:

I have Corel, I like Corel, and I love books, but the only thing that big fat book is good for is keeping my front door open or throwing it against the wall when the kids raise a ruckus in the other room. At least I can do a search on the .pdf on the electronic files I get. I'm warming up to the...

Does the work that you show on your portfolio indicate the level of quality by either a fine artist or graphic designer. A person can have a degree in either one, but I see nothing that would indicate either one is of benefit to you. Maybe you have not updated your site so that may not be...

For local: I charge a lowest labor rate per hour + mileage -------------- For out of state: A full 8 hours a day. Rental/gas/parking 75.00 food allowance Hotel Mileage to and from airport.

I agree with J Hill, Exterior grade photopolymer is a great idea (except as already stated, you can not do it in-house) Photopolymer is dimensional, made for one-off/various messages, easy to finish and if this is exterior, very durable. I don't know if it's 50% expensive, but if your...

Your time is way too soon my friend, I hope you know that you are loved and respected. I can't imagine how scary it must be, I hope you find comfort in knowing you made a difference in peoples lives.

Just want to say to 401Graphics, that you have my respect. Some of this stuff is out of line and harsh, but you obviously are interested in getting better and improving. :corndog: <--- take this as my token of my appreciation

Do you have a side view? I believe that was fabricated by ASI Signs in Louisville. You can probably fabricate this with stock aluminum extrusion. I would survey that frame with exact details and measurements and check for stock size materials. Or if this is for the campus, the campus has all...

>CRACKS KNUCKLES< Got a lil spankin, from Ms. Gypsy hmmmmm, lets see... The article is flawed as this person is so new, she lacks even the basic understanding of design ethics... or does not explain herself well enough. I believe "copying" a designer for practice is not a bad thing as...

I did... I'm hungry, and the response window wanted me to type something.

Schools have a great advantage: One is being around other creatives... The critiques by professors and peers... Being immersed in the creative process before being hammered into subjection by the real world gives the person space and time to learn the mechanics of design before muggles try to...

Must be some 12-13 years ago that a 3M rep came into the office and showed us this similar effect using block out vinyl/trans. and opaque vinyl instead of dimensional letters to get the halo effect. Looks great in this application.

I thought I would share this interesting article... It's raising a little ruckus on a design forum, but since most sign guys are self taught, this might tighten up some of your skills. I do think going to school has advantages by the way...

I'm not on Facebook, where's my chicken!!! Or should we just go to In N Out?

Mmmmmmm Now I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow!!!
