I die a little inside whenever I get artwork this bad from a customer.

Thanks Fred!

Anyone recognize this serif font?

Agreed. Your name is "Siloam", not "Signs & Design".

I honestly thought you were trolling when you posted it. Just in case mine was one of the comments you're referring to, I stand by what I said. Don't go messing around with graphic design when you know nothing about it. The best you can do is hurt your own business or whomever you're...

That's an interesting method. I've never seen edge caps on ACM before - not on our signs and not on anyone else's. Are they really necessary for durability? Bare edges on ACM look quite nice, even up close. I see ACM with unfinished edges used in art gallery prints all the time here.

Same here. We quit stocking gloss calendered vinyl a couple years ago and guess what? No one asks for gloss. They only ask for gloss when you give them the option.

Thanks!

If mesh has holes and blockout blocks light, then what exactly is blockout mesh?

Any hits on this one? I've got nothing on WTF.

The least you could do is read a short book to learn some design basics. This one is great for beginners: http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Layout-Art-Eye-Appeal/dp/091138068X

Why not make a sign from each category with your logo on it and take pictures of them?

I see where you're coming from, but I have to respectfully disagree. You can't give equal weight to the top two items in a hierarchy. It would break the hierarchy by way of the two items competing with each other. Additionally, I can't think of any logical reason that the service/product needs...

Your hierarchy is backward. Your company name is Silvertip, not "Signs & Graphics".

That doesn't work. Read the original post - he's working in CMYK so even with a transparency, K100 to spot colour red is not going to look right. It'll work fine in RGB though, so that's one solution. In either case I don't think you should be using a spot colour with gradients and...

Illustrator is the most widely used vector software among professional designers, and it's very powerful. CorelDraw is a popular alternative that many great designers use. It's known to have slightly less of a learning curve and it seems to be a bit more popular for illustrations. If you're...

We have tried cutting .010-.020 polystyrene for stencils as well, with some success. We quit doing it though, as the shavings get everywhere, the cutting blades wear down quickly and the plotter sounds like it's really overworking itself to cut through the material.

Pro tip: Use a texture/photo/dark-coloured background to help hide seams. Solid light-coloured backgrounds make seams stand out the most.

Got it! Caflisch Script

Any ideas on this script font? Looks like a common one I would know, but can't figure it out.
