  1. New Cintiq 24

    I'm a lefty, when I draw, I don't arch my wrist, I rotate the page at a awkward angle, so this tablet might be hard for me to use, but I want one. I have used the 21UX and it rotates. I saved up for the 21UX but might try out that 24", just pondering which computer to get.
  2. Need a Mac...

    I love custom made italian sandwiches too... gimme a PC with Corel and leave the sandwich by my desk please... :rock-n-roll: (Yeah, I can be bought with cold cuts, cheese and bread, it's lunch time over here)
  3. Need a Mac...

    I just realized CDiesel is a pretty smart person, a better businessman than me. I believe if he can spend a few of thousand bucks to make an employee happy and productive, than they are going to make more money in the long run. This designer must be a good catch, noticing this by making minor...
  4. C45 / D42 contractor lic

    I'm thinking most don't... you can start at the state's contractors board website. http://www.cslb.ca.gov/
  5. Need a Mac...

    I can't stand the new IMacs and the shiny screens, but that's what I would get (maybe with a matte screen for a second monitor) Or just get him a shiny new PC fully loaded with CS5 and tell him to stick it. I'm a Mac guy too, but I can make the program work in either one with only a little...

  7. Creative rights Documents

    Too confusing... too restrictive, and you do not have a full grasp of a workable agreement. What you are basically asking for, or want, is to retain "rights of promotion" By retaining your rights and requiring your client to use a copyright statement. All it seems you are doing is putting tags...

  10. You make stickers, right?

    I mainly an architectural sign, environmental graphic designer... so when I say the word "sign" they immediately thing "sticker" vinyl signs... I find it amusing when I mention "sign" that "sticker" is almost always the first thing they think of. My response is, "oh I do that too", even though I...
  11. I have to thank other sign shops for the following rant

    It is!!! And what a few sign shops do not know, or care to know is, apartment signage is more than the monument signs. Most of the profitable work is the rest of it. This clown could have made an impression, got his foot in the door, and had a great client. Now he is the guy they will never use.
  12. I have to thank other sign shops for the following rant

    I want to thank the lowball signshop that rolled the paint on a monument sign and directionals at a large apartment complex for a large management company. Not only was the color wrong, but the thick foam tape on the poorly cut PVC lettering and graphics, uncured paint texture and exposed rivets...
  13. What formula do you use to quote a job?

    I went to some business meeting for designers recently... one interesting thing a designer said. If a client is shopping for design and believes that it's all the same or will provide them with the same result... they are treating it as a commodity, if they are treating like one, then it is...
  14. How to handle this.

    Being in competition with your landlord for work is not a good thing. Seems this should have been addressed before you leased a spot there. Not cool for a landlord to underbid their tenant.

  17. gerber composer,corel,Illustrator which one is the easiest and easy to learn

    You can't make that decision if you have not taken the time to actually learn the software... if the guy can barely make a box, who cares of the program can make translucent gradients or make exact node placements with your keyboard. Learn Corel, it takes time, then when you see an unmet...
  18. gerber composer,corel,Illustrator which one is the easiest and easy to learn

    I have had to switch programs a lot... Gerber, Flexi, Casmate, Sign Wizard, Signlab, Illy Corel, Freehand and Canvas.... 10 years with just one vector software, you are going to have some adjustment to another program... I'm an Illy user but know Corel well, to me they are similar, so why buy...
  19. IRENE..What a pain in the A__!

    My hurricane experience was also overhyped I guess.... I mean if using generators for over 2 months, no work for as long, no phones (unless you stood in line) no drinking water for a couple of weeks (unless you stood in line) no way to bath for a few weeks (unless you stood in line) and could...
