  5. The one thing you appreciate most from signs 101

    International sounding board of your peers... I LOVED that in art school... Friends on your same level who REALLY understood the concept. Here I get INCREDIBLE influence, brutal honestly, business tactics and tips and some really great relationships. I hope that I've returned the favor!
  6. Some decals

    I avoid the 'trendy' stuff like the plague. My only semi-illegals that I have done is doctored corporate logos. Just stupid funny stuff that I have given to friends. One friend had kept his look alike burger king logo to 'porno king' on his car for years.

    He's saying that the images are copyrighted. You need to be licensed to sell dodge decals and bill waterson has NEVER given a copyright for any sort of calvin merchandise.

  9. New to the Biz and Very lost

    Self-taught. I've definitely put my time in. Anything I've learned, I've learned by trial and error, lots of trial and error , immitaded styles and techniques that I liked and made sense and have developed my own and have been told I'm very resourceful. I've got my hands in a lot of things...
  10. TOOO Good of a deal on SP 300V/540V

    DRIVE THERE to purchase it. If he starts giving you excuses , then you know its fake. I'd be perfectly fine with buying something high dollar on ebay. BUT, I would DRIVE to where its at, to check and see how it prints, but even more importantly, to make sure it's REAL. If you're going to...
  11. One of my customers threatened a lawsuit too!

    Brilliant! Think that would work with your customers? "What is more valuable than WAITING to work on your compamy's branding?" I think the funniest part of that is not actually SEEING the doctor, but WAITING to see the doctor. Sounds like he's been working on that one.

  13. PDFs for Dummies

    Another cool one is PrimoPdf. Its a program that ACTS like a printer. You can 'print' from any program to a pdf. I use it for excel to make a pdf if I need to send a custom quote for email.

  15. Design-Off #4 VOTING Take 2

    I don't think this needs to be any more labor intensive than it is now. Remember, this is JUST FUN. It's just a design contest, nothing more. It's nice to be able to have fun with an assignment without worrying about the details. Have fun and don't think too hard.

    I think you're mistaken.... Jimmysigns corrected Tparkin with this... "are you talking to me? :rolleyes: If so I was meaning that I get depressed watching all these people jumping in the business without a clue. like it's easy money. I'm a sign painter, I wish computers would blow up. :biggrin:"
