  1. Newbie Posts

    Fred alluded to responsible high posters and I take some exception to that, because honestly, some have had much more negative posts to both peers and novices. To shout out the novices, even if its a dumb post, is unfair because they don't know a thing at that point. If it becomes a third or...

  3. Start-up Graphics Biz for my Son

    Hey, where did my posts go????
  4. Start-up Graphics Biz for my Son

    Banning people for tough language is kinda lame I gotta say, this is treading a line that ain't so hot. So the dude swore and gave another website, I don't understand what HOG did. I don't think what anyone said in the heat of this conversation was too out of line. I think others have slammed...
  5. Start-up Graphics Biz for my Son

    Pros hate to hear when a novice tries to get all the pointers and with little or no investment. I have very limited funds for my endeavor, but I have been here about a year, learning reading, finding out what needs to be done to get what I need. Oh yeah, I'm 43 and have been in the printing...

  7. Helvetica Compact or Bold... Cant find it...

    Capital, Univers (Pronounced univar, because the frogs don't pronounce the last letter) too. Thanks sign man signs!
  8. Helvetica Compact or Bold... Cant find it...

    URW calls their Helvetica Nimbus Sans and Nimbus Sans Novus, designed by Max Medinger, mr. Helvetica. Arial is not even close, but if you want something close but better Azkindenz Grotesk from Berthold, a real champ of a font
  9. thought it was arial....

    I like Antique Olive, by Roger Excoffen, it is a sans with some charachter, which is what he intended it to be, as opposed to Univers and helvetica, no personality. Look at the Nord Italic and see how it shows movement. The x-height is unbelievible too, you don't need all caps (a no no in my...

  11. font help please

    God bless Lemmy! I never knew he liked fonts, I think his favorite is wart, a welsh font.
  12. illustrator help with Resolution

    Hi LM, is there a picture involved that you imported? Any type or vector piece would be resolution independent, so only raster items are a concern.
  13. Just joined and new in business

    Hi Gator, Welcome from CT!
  14. Font check - Any takers?

    Mr. Frutiger turns 80 soon, brought us Univers (1st logical numbered font), Avenir, Ondine, Didot (revival), and many others. You choose one of his fonts and only your design will break the design, not the font itself.
  15. Why I love My Macintosh

    Jiraby, I use no less than 4 programs that are old and not updated from the early to mid 90's (Live Picture, LetraStudio, FontStudio, DS SCREEN 1030ai scanner software and the amazing Pixar Typestry (with tons of Looks and Glimpse and MacRenderman and LinoColor for my flatbed), and the "new"...
  16. Why I love My Macintosh

    The Bad news first, my old G3 power supply died. Cost 49-60 U.S. Good News, Ebay 71.00 US for a whole used G3, with same ram and better video card. My issue, I have lots of old software, one especially, which I lost the disk, and I am pretty sure I'll never see it anywhere… All I had to do was...
