I'm thinking the perks might outweigh the pay...

... I said this before, I would take a job sweeping the floors there and then I see this... http://signweb.com/forum/help-wanted/technical-design-supervisor-1 Dang, so tempting. Wish I knew Auto-Cad better...

I worked for a few shops that did that type of work and waiting for the big job that never came... you did the right thing, there is no reason to be another company's grunt.

That was after dad said "you have to spend money to make money"... I hate it when mom is right!

My dad has been working for 68 years, and he still gets paid when he shows up to work. If you are going to do this, you should get paid for everything you design. There is a designer on Signweb who offers unlimited designs for sign shops at a subscription price and there are more shops needing...

Is this cut vinyl? I worked for a vehicle graphic place and we charged by the square foot, if there were doors and handles in the way, he added a percentage. 3 dudes and 1 1/2" days is a snails pace if that is one truck. One man should be able to do one in one day if they are a decent...

Exactly... thats why when your designer tops out creatively and pay, he/she may want to fly.

I believe my artwork would be worth money... but I agree with Josh, but my logo on a Matchbox truck is a once in a lifetime opportunity (as long as they sent me a case or 2 of them for promotions and giving away to key clients)

I don't think she is wrong at all... Notice how she says "most" I too believe MOST "graphic designers" want to be web/print/agency (whatever that is)/design firm designers. I have worked at many sign shops, and regular mop and pop sign shop design is fwiggin boring as shweeze. I left because of...

If you get frustrated with 3-4 hours of designing, imagine how frustrating it is baby sitting a newbie for 8 hours... Depends on what type of sign work you do...

The first big job I designed scared the ca-ca out of me, my dad sat me down and said how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time... Okay, I was still scared but in the end he was right, you just take each task one at a time and boom, done. The largest job I put out to bid was around 6...

What does "cost effective" mean... 50 bucks or 5000? once you mention illumination and exterior, it's going to cost. Also, if it's exterior, are you required to have a contractors license? permit? UL? and all that other legal stuff? Depending on temperature extremes I would be careful with...

I have never asked my dad how many men he killed in war, when he watches war movies he has run out of the room sobbing and he is a tough, big man, he is not proud of what he did, there is a certain amount of guilt involved. My grandfathers struggled till the end of his lives with what he had to...

You may want to buy CS3 at the latest, then you will have till the end of the year to purchase CS6 (when it comes out).... after that, you will not be able to upgrade if you are behind more than 1 release... of course you can have a subscription option.

This does not pass my genital's test... I actually have one now that people look for them, then post them online for all to mock and jeer at...

I have an ooompa loompa make my coffee so it taste great... that, and Trader Joe's 100% Kona...

Even with a stop light, that is way too much to read. You have enough info for about 3 billboards.

There is no reason to add some engineering reference when it says architecture and engineering... these logos are blah and it could be done better. I would do more research. You will be surprised (or maybe you won't) how bad a lot of architect/engineer logos are. Look at architects who have...
