  1. Problems working with illustrator!!!!

    That may not work with stacked objects with a stroke on it... if you don't know, you... Select the background areas you do not want, lock them ("COMMAND+2") then select the logo, copy and paste it somewhere else to work on it. I hate bounding boxes so I have mine turned off, make sure you have...
  2. using Various pieces of rejected artwork

    Definitely use them, a majority of my rejected stuff or even the stuff the client never sees is used... even the stuff I do here as examples, I recycle.
  3. Problems working with illustrator!!!!

    It's not that... Corel has an option of selecting various objects by completely surrounding them with your curser, it's not a perfect way to select when working on single objects within a group, especially if things are stacked. You can work in layers to offset some of that that, but layer...
  4. Perfect signs! Who needs a name, anyway?

    It does make sense... I did a recent layout for a salon with some ambiguous name and logo, they wanted salon and beauty supply, but the sign program would not allow services or products on the sign unless it was actually part of their business name. Of course it's great if you make stapled...
  5. I need some constructive criticism on my website

    I have to say RandyS will go far if he continues in the trade with his great attitude. This is a great example of an honest straight taking critique that will better the persons work and a person who is willing to take strong criticism.
  6. It's called ingenuity

    This was the 70's, I was into equilateral polygons...
  7. Problems working with illustrator!!!!

    I don't know what Jhill is talking about, seems like user error more than anything. I lock things in Corel too. You might also "lock" the stuff you don't want, then select the stuff you do, copy and paste in a different area of the page and work on the logo there. You can find lock objects at...
  8. Bernsomatic flame spreader?

    ooops, I meant this one... the smaller one is great too, but this thing below put's out some serious flame... http://www.flameengineering.com/Heavy_Duty_Vapor_Kits.html
  9. Bernsomatic flame spreader?

    When I did wraps/vinyl and removal I used a weed abatement torch. This is a nice set-up... http://www.flameengineering.com/Weed_Dragon.html
  10. Problems working with illustrator!!!!

    I don't know if I follow... You might want to check your preferences, I prefer to have the "object selection by path only" "ON"... using area select is very frustrating.
  11. It's called ingenuity

    Looks like my first set-up... guys laughed at me till I handed them t-shirts made on it. I was very proud of my set-up.
  12. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    I like to make my leasing signs architectural, the added cost is not that high, and you can sometimes pre-assemble and drop it in. I also add a scale person to convey the idea of scale and proportion. I have done a few graphic standards for large commercial leasing companies, one thing they...
  13. Appraisal Logo

    I like it.. On the one color issue, this will work in one color, but with technology being what it is, having a single color option in a lot of instances is really not needed. I agree to start a design in black and white to determine proportion and space. The other thing is, why have the least...
  14. what adobe plug in would you get???

    Without CadTools (hotdoor.com) Illustrator would pretty much be worthless to me...
  15. You couldn't pay me enough!

    I would do it, as long as I could drop a melon from there... always wanted to do that.
  16. Logo input please

    It does not matter how long I have been doing this, my sisters will always look at me as the punk kid who slept in late and had a problem with germs so my work gets treated that way... I've seen worse family design mishaps, in the 80's that would have been a sweet layout.
  17. Logo design processes

    When is Hale Bopp gonna come around again? You missed the mothership...
  18. Logo design processes

    ooops, double posted....
  19. Logo design processes

    Setting expectations is important and is actually a part of the Intake of Information/Design Brief. The thing is, when making the initial meeting, I am qualifying myself with my portfolio and I am also qualifying the client for compatibility of what they expect. This has nothing to do with...
  20. Logo design processes

    I follow the standard design process, we have discussed it here so I would do a search for logo design process. You might want to google it too.... Basically, it's.. --Intake of Information/Design brief: an early often the beginning statement of design goals. --Analysis: analysis of current...
