  3. Another What Would You Do moment....

    I would question all of Solomon's wise decisions... I mean really, the dude had 700 wives... how wise could he have been? :ROFLMAO:
  4. Sign Survey

    I have done quite a few... either retail signage conspicuity studies, master planning and/or pre design research. I think since you have done the survey already I would study the sign code(s) on what is allowed, but the biggest thing is a study of the business' competition. There are a few...

    I hope the time passes fast...
  6. "Post Crap You've Drawn"

    Here are a few unfinished, undecided or pure boredom stuff.... a mix of hand drawn/computer...
  7. "Post Crap You've Drawn"

    Here is something from a few years back.... it's called the Howzine. I am a long time How Forum member.. all the stuff on the drawing are howisms... "whiskey and weenies" "dancing bananas" "booger flicking". the little guy in the back was my signature when I painted a car club windows.... I...
  8. Freestanding Interior Directory Sign

    How about this? http://www.takeform.net/stance.php
  9. Freestanding Interior Directory Sign

    Does your shop have fabrication capabilities? I hate system signs in most instances... usually it's because if your shop can fabricate, your shop keeps more money.
  10. how does the "little guy" compete

    Why are you freaked out?... Does your "competition" design better than you?, Faster than you? More established? I had to read your intro to get where you are coming from. With 20 years of design and pre-press experience, you have way more experience than the majority of start-up sign...
  11. Need Layout assistance...

    I'm not interested because this is the boring crap that makes me want to drill a hole into my skull and pour battery acid into it. I have done thousands of these probably have 10 jobs waiting for evac signs. Have you done these before? Is there a particular code you have to follow (type...
  12. Local High School Swimming Signs

    oh... swim team signs for team spirit.. okay duh!!!
  13. Local High School Swimming Signs

    Make sure you know the code... over here in California, we have a specified typeface size, and information that is required... I think most states have their own. The pic is from an old post showing size comparison, I frequently "design" pool signs to fit the architecture or area....
  14. Making a PDF smaller

    I do multiple pages in Illustrator, then print out to file in .ps format then go to distiller where you have various options on file size.... I have a few 80 page documents only hitting 8-10 mgs on the smallest file size. If you have all the pages together in .pdf, you can do what jfiscus...

    Do you have distiller?
  16. Coaster Design

    Critiquing something is kinda lame because the standby response is "the customer liked it"... who gives a shweeze. You are trying to improve.... the client wanting jerked up copy or design is odd... they would never be shown/or made that unless they handed me the artwork. I would have designed...
  17. Logo Critique

    Bullspit! (I always wanted to say that) A person has to be a complete idiot not to add .com on a browser... especially if you have the .com in the first place. You will be in trouble if you are mostly web based and not own the .com What I said is... design the logo without the .com "Then when...
  18. logo infringement

    Looks like an unfortunate coincidence... or someone goofed. I can see why Specialized sued them, they a lot have partnered with other energy drinks like Monster, so they are basically cutting into Specialized brand...
  19. It's only gonna get tougher

    um....You actually do have one.... :ROFLMAO:
  20. It's only gonna get tougher

    Kinda curious... Colin, are you self taught or have you worked at different shops? I'm in a small town, no degree. But I have been very, very lucky at where I have been employed. I have worked at shops where they gave away design, and worked on jobs with 250k sign design budgets... thats just...
