Man, I'm with ya. I'm going through the same behavior with my daughter who is just turning 14 in January. In the last few months we've caught her drinking, smoking cigarettes and pot, and not to mention doing some other s##t that's just downright disrespectful and unacceptable. What am I...

I voted as well. Your work is amazing. I wish I had a fraction of your patience and skill with Corel. I've been working in Corel for a couple months now and I LOVE it. After working in mostly Photoshop for over 8 years the change is refreshing and I never want to work in raster again. I...

Inkscape is an open source program similar to The Gimp, Open Office, or Linux OS. In other words, it's free. Although some people equate free software with crappy software, this is not neccessarily the case. I use Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw for 98% of what I do, but for simply converting...

Here is my offering... (First time posting pics so hopefully it works.)

Mesh shirts are a real bi%$h to print. When we do them, if memory serves me correctly, we use an appropriate ink for polyester. We print them, then as they cure under the flash dryer, we peel the shirt up off the platen slightly so heat aerates around and under the mesh. Then we just toss 'em...

Oops! Nevermind. I just stumbled onto it in another post. It's the book by Mike Stevens.

There is a book concerning logo design that keeps coming up in conversation lately around here. One of the big graphic design gurus on this board is the author. I want to purchase it but can't remember the name of the book or the author. Does anyone know the book I'm referring to? I googled...

Corel Draw X5 is delicious.

It's probably a better idea to post as many characters of text from that font as possible.

I use Stellar Concepts. Stellarconcepts.com. I get stellar prices and stellar quality.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you are asking what happens to an image that is pasted into a new layer over your background that you have selected as 300 dpi? Everything pasted into your new project will automatically be re-scaled to 300 dpi. But if you are using a low quality image to...

I agree with Bayshore and don't think his question is heartless at all. Any businessman, at the end of the day, has a job to do. Maybe I take my work too seriously, but I enjoy what I do and I eat, sleep, and breathe it. I would never let a customer down no matter what the situation. When...

I'm pretty sure the etched glass and frosted glass cast film you speak of is in our Oracal color charts. I've used the Oracal silver grey etched glass cast and it looks great. The stuff in your picture looks a little different though. I'm thinking that's the frosted glass cast you're looking...

I totally agree with you there. I like to support local business as much as the next guy, but I'm in a small town. Our nearest supplier is 2 hours away and also only carries 2 brands, Oracal, and Arlon, and I think they might carry some 3M digital film. The prices are much higher as well. The...

Thanks for the tip on storage. A little advice can go a long way and save a ton of headache.

I won't come back crying. I just wondered if there was something different about the heavyweight banners from the ones I've got in the past. I applied the vinyl dry on one today before I left work and it worked perfectly. I've done them wet in the past and they've always worked out for me...

So I got some 18 oz. white blockout banners from U.S Banner Corp. I noticed on the tag it says "For best results do not use application fluid and use a high performance vinyl". Any opinions on this? I'm doing a simple, straight forward, black on white lettering design. I was planning on...

Orbitron font is also VERY similar to this.

ITC Benguiat Bold Italic is what What The Font gave me. Closest thing I can come up with.

Hi all. My name is John. I'm a newbie here and also a newbie to the sign industry. I was a professional tattoo artist the last 14 years, but took up sign making just over a year ago. I developed essential tremor in my left hand and it forced me to consider a career change. I'm opening a...
