On the scale person I make the men 6'-0" tall, the women 5'-6" Here is a recent job I worked on to give you the idea on how proportion is important. The client wanted it to be read by a certain distance and height, when it was all calculated, the sign ends up being 23' x 200', When I added...

Here is a 'value engineered' version of the one on the left...

I have done quite a few residential marketing signs, one of the big things I was always told by the marketing people was darker colors say 'custom' or 'luxury' Quite a few of these developers around here take these signs (and their showrooms and model homes) very seriously. I would stay away...

Looks like a modified, squeezed, sheared and maybe slightly stroked Utopia Bold or maybe Utopia Black to me.

If you are using steel line, you can have turnbuckles to tighten, and adjust if cable stretches.

We seem to be having a rash of one thread wonders. We need to apply some constructive criticism salve on the buttock of this site

What are you talking about, I get most of my material from my kids... :omg:

Hurricane Iniki in 1992, we went without power for 3 months... it was fun. Lots of friends over, hanging out together and got work done.

P3... If you are using Illustrator, open your STROKE window and make sure all your options are open.. On the dialog box you have the option of dashed lines... do a simple stoke at 10 points.. the the dash at .01 then the 10 point gap. then go to the upper right and click on ROUND CAP and...

I forgot to add, when I design a character, I like to name it, it adds some personality to the image while you are developing it... this would be one of those jobs I would go way overboard and lose money on, and then after it was done, come up with even better ideas... I give you 'Paco: The...

It's an attractive logo but my gut reaction is the logo (typeface) is too wide with little option to break it apart and make it narrow for certain identity applications with making 'CONTRACTING' smaller and losing the rhythm of the layout. Will the .com work on a business card once it's sized down?

Oh I forgot, did they send you a hard proof to match the rgb and cmyk images too?

I usually ask for a printer to print out the pantone color swatched on the printer that will be used... if the color was that important to my client and I would try to match to the printers swatches. When I was a printer monkey, I would send the pantone color swatches to the designer and have...

The band it system should work fine with the correct bracket.. the blade is only around 4.1 pounds, I'm sure a h.d. double sided banner is about the same. You might look at this solution..... http://www.zumar.com/files/PHOENIX_set1-full.jpg Look a page 18...

On the design... You would think being mexican would help, after seeing Heath's idea, I did some googling and flipped through a book. Most of it is a dumbed down quickie version of what they might do on 'El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera' or the theme shot from Danny Phantom... This is...
