http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_calling_the_kettle_black There is a little history with this particular poster and there is a trait where people ask for criticism, get some constructive comments that take time and thought, only to be rebuffed by some random defensive comment that add nothing...

Another exercise in mediocrity... you design in front of the customer, you generally get crap. This reminds me of the last thing the OP posted... you have been in business for 7 years, you say are no designer, what happened to the logo by the way? And people wonder why we get pissy on this site...

I do out of state and country design work... each have their issues, especially building code or language barriers. When I worked as a designer at one place, we had a project implode when the client had to use union installers and a project manager who was not ready for that type of project. It...

On the franchise level, it's really not much different than an imprinted catalog. Not lame.. . maybe a little deceptive. On employee designs... I agree with Doug. Those designs should not be used for a start-up, but for finding employment. I would love to show my Disney, Warner Bros. and theme...

Same as in Illustrator.. go to WINDOW.. THEN 'NEW WINDOW' then move the views where needed and you have a zoomed and an overall view

What kind of winds are we talking here... 50-60 MPH? I can see signs in the background, were they damaged?

Frutiger Bold is close to Humanist 777... just squeeze and squish the crap out of it...

Drop the designer generalization.. this is actually a human trait or flaw. I have seen prima-donna installers, painters, welders, glass guys, salesmen, estimator, receptionist, project manager. Heard the same crap about training so they do it your way... the thing is, anyone with experience CAN...

I can answer you this from the employees viewpoint. I was on again off again graphic designer that knew nothing about the computer. I had a chance to learn the 'computer' sign business from the bottom - up, from a popular sign guy. He happened to be a very close friend of my brother-in-law. I...

The meeting went something like this.... THE CLIENT: 'Hey I like it, but we have a little space here... can you add a smiley here...' THE DESIGNER: >whips out Volume 16 of "Clip-art by the Pound" catalog< 'How about this thumbs up smily.' THE CLIENT: 'Let's do it" >flashes designer 2...

I like the Smiley face with the thumbs up...

Quote as if you were going to price them as a single item, then on another line add a note that there is a discount added for the whole job. It is what it is... it's good business to offer a volume discount, it's bad business to bust your butt on some small chump single window sign if they start...

Yeah, about the non-compete, is the pay good enough to justify it? Is it actually legal? If you let him go, can he go after you for compensation? You do not need a non-compete that unfairly limits a person from making a living, what you really need is a non-disclosure agreement, some are...

What kind of sign designer.. your basic sign shop designer? digital/vinyl/wrap? electrical? or edging toward higher end electrical/architectural?

Is this an ADA sign?

The problem you will have is you can NOT contract this flagpole legally without YOU having the contractors license. Hopefully the city will stop you before any damage is done or are you going to have your installer pull the permit since he has the contractors license? Don't take his word for...

Oh geeez, then print it out and hang it on the fridge...

Because any monkey can learn cloning and filters, as mentioned above, a week or 2 on lynda.com can teach that. My idea is, get the mind used to the design process when doing these mindless tool assignments. Like I said, it's okay for a first assignment, but I would tell my kids to crack open...

I have 2 kids that draw very well, one does gigposters, band logos and t-shirts. When they ask for a critique, I say 'do you want the truth or do you want me to lie'. Arlo, it's obvious you care for your daughter, but you did ask what we thought. Making comments about you doing it for her, or...

It's looks okay, what would have been cooler is if she did a poster like a showcard... similar to your signs or maybe even a 'Hatch Show Print' style. http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=hatch%20show%20print&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
