Be as brutal as you want. We're very, very early in the design process here and these are very rough drafts. The design is going to be limited to two colors because....well because that's what I want to do.
Stacey pointed out that the "s" on the first one has too much wave to it and I'm going...
Out of all the vendors I use none of them come close to the service I get from Georgia Printco. The quality of the printing is great, the finish has always been perfect, and I can't tell you how many times they've bent over backwards to help me meet a customers impossible deadline. The SAME...
You can't fault the guy for trying. Heck, he's never posted here and this is the 4th or 5th time I've seen a link to his stuff on this site in the last few months.
Setting up "systems" is crucial, in my opinion, to building a sellable business. The object should be to build your business into a cash machine. Remember....a job is something you have to do to make money....a business is something that makes money without you.
That's the same guy who sells the Christmas window stencil kit and the do-it-yourself home sign shop kit www.75hour (dot) com
My guess is he's using a cheap two-light fluorescent shop light, cutting black vinyl with a swivel blade x-acto knife and applying it to day-glo banner material, and...

I love working in Illustrator but when I get an ai file that's 45 layers and stroked paths it's a royal pain to convert it to cuttable artwork. I end up switching over to Flexisign because the tools are a lot more intuitive.
Dude...if you'd sent me that email I'd have been disputing the credit card charges just because you were being a _____head. I understand you're dealing with ridiculousness here but the first half of that could have been eliminated and the second half reworded. All she needed to know was that...
I usually cut two adjoining flutes, bend the material over and cut out the exposed rib. It leaves about a 1/2" wide gap (what you see there) so it folds over cleanly.
Magnum Magnetic. I'll send anything else back, I don't care what they tell me about something different. Every problem we've ever had with magnetics came when somebody tried to make the material better. We have NEVER had a problem with Magnum.
We tried a brand several years ago (not Arnold...
