  1. What size should my garage be?

    It all depends on what type of work you do and how much space you need. We have to have a 14ft tall garage door in order to do semis which is one of our main services. We also need and have a woodworking shop. But right now it's getting cramped over there and our goal is to some day get a 3D...
  2. Custom Rug Logo and Card

    Great layout. I'm not sure if you need a critique, but I do have one observation that is such a small thing that I almost ended this reply at: "Great layout". I think "works" is too weak. Since "Shagworks" is the name, I would think strengthening "works" would make this design even better...
  3. Learning Wall Doggin'... video

    Cool post. Nothing beats walldoggin.:thumb: Although I had to chuckle at the"...its only in NewYork and maybe LA that you can see new hand painted advertisements going up.." part at the beginning of the movie.
  4. Scaling Digital Pics of Bldgs in Corel X3

    You do realize there is a vertical and a horizontal scale in Corel. As long as you don't have the scaling/sizing ratio locked (the little padlock icon) you scale the X and the Y independently. Therefor you have the exact same results and it is just as accurate. When you change the box to the...
  5. Scaling Digital Pics of Bldgs in Corel X3

    My process is similar to what bob does, minus the powerclip. I import the photo. draw a box over the element of the photo I measured. Then take the box and make it the size of the measurement. When you do this you will notice that the scale percentage of that shape has changed. Simply copy...
  6. Wall Dog Meets this year?

  7. Wall Dog Meets this year?

    Yup, Danville this year. Make sure you register by July 1st though. www.thewalldogs.com and Plymouth WI next year. I've also heard rumors of one in Arizona in the near future. As for not hearing about Pontiac's till it was over... I take partial blame for that. I brought it up here...
  8. Transformer Art Project

    Here is how the old toy packaging looked back in the 80s ahhhh memories. :Big Laugh
  9. Transformer Art Project

    Okay Update time. The car is almost done. I won't post pics of the car itself until we are finished, but here are a few pics of the decals we are applying to it. The plan has changed a bit. Instead of making the big sign board for the background so that it looks like a giant toy package we...
  10. I dreamed about bob last night....

    LOL funny post. In your dream, did he call you "specimen"? I still prefer to picture bob as an emo/goth teenager.
  11. Logo layout. Let me know what you think

    Amazing Designs, Keep in mind you asked for people's opinions. Some folks will just tell you they don't like your work, some will tell you how you can fix it, but one thing stays the same. Anything other than a pat on the back can be used to help improve your abilities, if you let it...
  12. Problems With orcal???

    Maybe that is the problem. Maybe he is using a knock off brand called "Orcal" Just make sure you don't buy Caloon, TreeM, Gerbear, ,Avray or for that matter... Avery :Big Laugh
  13. Another Baseball Design

    I know I know.:banghead: I almost turned the job away being a Bears fan.:ROFLMAO:
  14. Another Baseball Design

    Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying "poor" contrast. I don't know how I can go with any stronger contrast than white text on forest green with a black drop shadow. I could just do white on just black but I got to get some green in there. I didn't think it was that hard to read. I mean it is...
  15. Another Baseball Design

    Had a customer stop in with plans to build a memorial baseball field on his property. We developed a logo and sign layout.
  16. dual monitor

    Cool I didn't know you can do that. The problem is you can't pull that window outside of the Corel program window. At least not in the version I'm using. You would have to make sure the Corel application is stretched onto both monitors. Which can be done. I have a program called...
  17. dual monitor

    In the start menu in windows under "Accessories" -> "Ease of Access" is a program called "Magnifier" What you can do is set the magnifier up on one screen and have it magnify your work on the other. I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for or not.
  18. Out of State Sign Work...

    Do you do it or not? Well, our last out of state job was the straw that broke the camel's back for us. The job ended in threats of lawsuits and all sorts of hostility. I won't go into details. What I will say is now we have decided to no longer do out of state sign work. We will continue...
  19. Need critique on logo

    How about some color?
  20. Attitudes & Reactions

    I think as long as criticism is genuine and is given with the intention of helping or teaching, it is a good thing. It could be in the form of tough love, or constructive criticism. It might not even be the question you asked but the solution to a deeper problem. For example: If someone...
