Most employers usually train their employees themselves. You wouldn't have gotten into this profession without basic signmaking knowledge ...... right?

clear as mud here too! I thought you were asking what it would cost to train.

Hookers and Blow. That would be one helluva weekend. :rolleyes:

CutStudio should come with your cutter. I know that there are plugins for corel and illustrator. Many years ago, you could cut right out of those programs, but this new cutter does not allow that... as far as I know. I do not believe that there is a plugin for flexi, but I imagine you can...

It's amazing how much just doing this will do. There's all kinds of crap running that you don't even know about. Make sure you don't have 2000 fonts installed and do a disk defrag once in a while. Run>msconfig>startup tab

agreed.... Use clipart tools and arrange the letters yourself. Ain't rocket surgery...:)

Doesn't Harley Davidson OWN some sign shops because of this? Do what you want, but I'm not going to risk it all for a $20 decal, no matter how minimal the risk. ...Granted they were doing HUNDREDS of decals instead of the request of a walk-in.

Buy a camera from a CAMERA company. Nikon, olympus, canon. And go with the biggest lens. They know what they're doing and have been for decades. I have a old 2.1 megapixel olympus camera that takes better looking pictures than my wifes 5mp canon. Bigger, better lens. Don't confuse megapixel...

Adobe and Corel each have their foot in different aspects of the design industry.... Print, Apparel, Signage.... I don't forsee either one of them changing that too much. As far as photo manipulation, photoshop is probably top notch, vector-based is situational depending on each field.

You'll need for them to define 'wraps'. I haven't seen too many race cars with full or either partial wraps. They might just be referring to a bunch of applications ALL OVER the car... not a wrap.

I suck. I got 19/34. There's fonts on there that I have never even heard of!

I'm sure SOMEBODY makes them, but you need a film that can be cut COMPLETELY through, but be stiff enough to work as a stencil. You could have a nice setup. Designed in a vector based program, outputted to a small cutter, weed out your stencil and go to town! I wish I could eat my mistakes!

how unique!!! Good to see everyone's take on a different field of design.

I usually design in black and white until I have a strong structure and then add the whistels and bangs. If you go the other way, you simply end up with a polished turd or you're dressing up a goat or some other crazy metaphor.

Lingerie for pets and wild game, of course! I'm sitting on a gold mine!

Do you honestly think that he has a picture of a plush rhino on the outside of his building? Do you think I have a picture of a cartoon deer in a BRA on the outside of mine? These are AVATARS

Or 30 secs in corel

I tried printing out all my fonts one time, but I gave up when I got to D. Even at 8pt type, 50 to a page, I would have gone through about 400 sheets of paper or so. Do the math before you start printing. WHAT I WANT TO DO... Save them as pdfs and print it wide format and make WALLPAPER.
