  1. Printing on 3M High Intensity Reflective

    If these are true traffic signs, (MUTCD) than the only thing currently out there to last a long time while allowing the whole sign to remain reflective is the 3M screen printing inks. Up to this point, I know of no digital print media what works with an MUTCD compliant reflective. Even with...
  2. A couple more

    Your introduction belies the actual work you do... I'm sure there are quite a few pics of work that would be impressive and looking forward to seeing them. I used to design a lot of theme park/environmental graphics all over the world. My favorite type of work to do.
  3. Arcade Logo

    Those logo designs are sweet, now I'm gonna have to rooster punch you!
  4. Postcard Layout

    --------------- Forge is not going to listen to your advice because it's not a good justification for bad design. Your story about a rock painting paper weight is cute, but not in the same realm as the issue being discussed. You have had constructive criticism and some not so good. I think I...
  5. 'Green' Signage Options

    have you tried here? http://greenresourceguide.segd.org/
  6. Suite Sign help

    You can make a sign with a paper or lexan slider. You paint a header and footer second surface on the face panel, then you have VHB tape and adhere the panel to a backer. The void the VHB tape makes can easily house a paper or lexan sign. If the tenant changes, you use a post it note to pull...

    Dang... you are good. :notworthy:
  8. Maintaining aspect ratio when resizing objects in Illustrator?

    Oh geez... Yeah I wouldn't mind locking the aspect ratio when I'm illustrating. I design architectural signs 90% of the time, so I have my bounding box off for that and either resize with Cadtools "CadTracker" or I hit the "S" key, and resize numerically. I don't see it slowing me down or...
  9. Help me pleeeeeeese!

    I went through every resource... driving me loco. It's not Clarendon, that's for sure. That ampersand, "E" and "T" is not matching anything.... thanks in advance.
  10. a couple wraps

    I was thinking the same thing, if they did not see it, does that mean it never existed? This is a serious conundrum. These layouts have issues with design and content. I applaud you on the bumper application, but the design needs work. It could have communicated more effectively and look...
  11. a couple wraps

    I had to do a Yoda impersonation... makes sense now.
  12. a couple wraps

    Most we carmax beat offers that we see?
  13. Watch me trace

    Giving away trade secrets mayn! If it wasn't for all the designers at one shop, I would fumble through Corel and Illy too. it really helps to see an expert in action doing the dirty work to get some skills, good post. On a side note, when I trace oblique letter forms, I draw a line at the angle...
  14. Open InDesign file in Illustrator?

    Well, even if you could open it, if there are placed images on there, and you don't have the source files, will the file be complete? If the guy is so clueless that he can't even make a pdf... you have my pity.
  15. Photos of work you designed while working for another company

    The problem I see with posting your former (or soon to be) employers pics are, if they design for free and you charge, who do you think will get the design work? You are not that hard to find by the way. Most apartment signage I have seen is done on spec. I design quite a bit of apartment...
  16. What should I do??

    The word "agency"... what does that mean? If you had a contract with the "agency", and they signed it, then you did royally screw up. If the "agency" passed the contract along to the client and they signed it, then I can see where you would assume to bill the client, the contract is with them...
  17. sign shop web....need your opinion

    oh, wait a sec, so this is not your site, you are exposing the site as a thief...
  18. sign shop web....need your opinion

    Hey Brush1, If you took the images from someone else's site or pulled them from google, you are a thief. If someone blatantly took food from my business that I care for my kids with, I'm going to be be very upset. Google images is an idiot proof way of finding offenders. If you were smart, you...
  19. Photos of work you designed while working for another company

    Are you starting your own sign business? Or is this for an employment portfolio? You rationale is incorrect. Either one, the answer is usually no, you can not. You need your employers permission. Most employers know that you need a portfolio to get a job, and all the shops I know require one...
  20. My left arm for a good employee....

    Well, I guess that's the assumption about Socal... i gotta drive 40 minutes to get decent food, we have the sticks too. It's not all palm trees, skyscrapers and beaches. If the wind is right, I know what the cows ate for dinner. I don't live in a one horse town, we have to share it with the...
