yep customers like this are idiots as they just don't get the point of their own needs. how many times has this happened not only on a banner but a sign. they come in with some idea they want and it is all personal and has very little to do with making a sign that speaks to who they want to do...

our job is to know how to set copy so that the important things are seen and you know what you are looking at when reading a sign or banner. the custoemr is an idiot as they are promoting a product, not the event and is looks like any other ad for a product. the real event is an after thougth...

yours has the event and date which no matter what they say is the only thing that matters to those who are reading the banner. theirs is all over the place and I have no idea what or why I should care about their message. by the way, the customer is never right when it comes to design work so...

thanks for that info as I knew something was up but wasn't sure what

has Gerber left this site? I haven't seen a reply to a Gerber question in ages

I got sick of that too so now I ask each question with a bullet in front of it and leave a good sized space under for their answer. it works as it is clear that an answer is required for each question to move on to the next

I would rather do e-mails as I have a written transcript of what we talked about. it has come in handy many times over the years. also with an e-mail it may feel like going back and forth but it is much faster as it is to the point, no chit chat. another advantage is you have the person's...

sounds like a bad pixal. does it do it at all heat settings? sicne it seems to get better, it may be it isn't warming up right away. just guessing but it sounds like that is what is going on

seems like you are asking for a lot but not saying what they will get in return. people will want to know both what you expect and what they can expect from you. no benefits like insurance or any mention of pay, paid vacations or anything like that in your ad. the ad is one sided and only...

another one here for the Vector Doctor. Eric does great work

it happens from time to time when you think you are safe and then find out you weren't. now you know you can't trust like that and will, I'm sure, have it in writing from now on. you can tell her that she can't trade mark the design as it was done for her approval only and was not a give away...

nice! you don't see a lot of silver leaf and wish there was more done with it

yes I was happy to get some help with the Edge. what I am talking about is the the excessive printer issue posts and the what should I buy posts as they seem to be the same type of post day after day, just with different people. people don't post about much else any more. yep, I did crap on...

welcome to the site. I too started in the sign biz screen printing. I don't miss screen printing at all!

is it just me or has the site become a "what's wrong with my printer?" forum? are all these printers really that bad that we can't go a day without a clodded head, gainy prints, missing colors? makes me glad to be an Edge person as it seems like our printers just print without all the drama

that's a lot of thought going into a block letters with a rotated "e"

that was what I was going to post but you beat me to it. why do you think this is a good looking design? not sure as I am seeing upper and lower case on an arc, Medieval looking lettering for services and not really sure what the black, yellow and blue thing is on the door. not to insult you...

if you do it like smalt it shoould work and it sounds like it would look awesome. much better to use real sand than faking it with stucco or blasting it with a texture. I've seen over the years in gift shops sand castles where they stick sand to a ceramic so maybe you can find the right kind...

so glad you get it. it is part of the designer's job to know what is needed when they sell a design to a customer. we have had so many sign designs that come from a designer that I've had to totally rework to make it so it could be used. that charge gets passed onto the customer who can't...

no, I do expect them to know how to set up a file for output as that is their job. want to get into our industry, then learn what that involves. they are designing signs, selling that talent and not able to come thru which cost the customer more as it shouldn't have to go thru two people
