  1. Question for the Artists here

    You may be thinking scratchboard. Here's a link to the unbelievably talented Michael Halbert http://www.inkart.com/index.html Here's a how-to by Russ McMillan http://www.scratchboard.org/russhowto/index.html ...and a link to Russ' own stuff...

  3. Where to buy "Marker Acct" a Gerber Font

    While not identical MARKING PEN ITALIC is pretty close.
  4. What is your mark up?

    Smile and let them go.
  5. No Such Thing

    Amen. Granted, I subbed out a banner order while I was on my honeymoon that paid for the complete honeymoon but I did that in the mornings while my wife slept late. You've got to unplug sometimes, just completely let go. What's the point of going on vacation and working? All you're doing is...
  6. Cartoonizing?

    Yes. Scan it in, trace it manually, make design decisions about what to include and what to leave out, apply gradient fills, and there you have it. To get one to look right is a hell of a lot harder than it sounds and takes a lot more patience than I've ever had.
  7. Need a logo critique. Please.

    I like the font choice for it, I'd tighten up the kerning a good bit though. The icon needs some work, however. It's not selling the "berry" idea very well. Good concept and a good start though.
  8. What font is this?

    Set it in Helvetica and see if they notice.
  9. Exterior Lettering - You are doing it wrong, or right - I can't decide

    Do a google image search for URBAN OUTFITTERS SIGN. They don't seem to be interested in conforming to classic criteria....for what that's worth.
  10. Connecting max metal signs greater than 8ft

    Personally I've gotten very good results from applying a 3" wide strip of .032 aluminum behind the seam with VHB tape. Stick half of it behind one panel, install that panel, remove the tape from the other half, install the second panel butting them together tightly. A tight, straight seam is...
  11. Bought a plotter, software, and vinyl. Wondering where to start?

    Ignore the posts about your price being too low....you make it lower and people will slam you for selling too cheap and destroying the market. If your competition for cut vinyl is three months behind and you can sell cut vinyl for $20 psf please let me know where it the heck Souixland is. I'll...
  12. looking for designer

    Is your name is Dave Dorsey?
  13. This is insane! What next?

    Back before Napster destroyed all the record stores Blockbuster had plans to do something similar. They were going to have digital kiosk franchises anywhere somebody wanted to stick one. The kiosk would download any album, burn it, print the cd, and print the CD case. 4 square feet of floor...
  14. interactive vinyl lettering?

    That's what it is here but the only time it's enforced is when somebody smarts off to the marine police. I can't tell you how many guys with jet skis insist on having them cut 1.5" tall and in a color that almost matches the hull color. Very rarely do I get somebody back in to have them recut.
  15. signs cut to shape

    Well you're not an Oompa Loompa and contrary to the movie Barnyard cows don't ride motorcycles.
  16. Help With Trademarked Design

    You: Sorry, I can't do that, it's copyrighted. Let me show you what we CAN do. Customer: Why can't you do it? I was at a car show and saw three cars done that way and I've seen a bunch online. You: Well it's copyrighted and I don't want to end up on the wrong side of Disney's lawyers...
  17. This is insane! What next?

    You notice that the shape of the head and the shape of the gears don't match the original?
  18. shortchanged???

    Never done that but I've rolled out enough 10 yard rolls to hypothesize what's going on. Somebody orders 10 yards, they cut that plus a couple of extra feet as insurance off the roll. Next person orders 10 yards, they do the same thing. Then again, and again. The last sucker to order 10...
  19. Anyone recognise this font?

    NIHILITY, with an outline to make it bolder.
  20. Does anyone Laminate Banner?

    IN the words of Ike Turner, "Wash your hands before you touch your glands."
