Is it just me.... or is that fish getting bigger?

Totally a different direction but... First, your logo is cool... just have a few versions that work for different layouts, at least a vertical and horizontal version. I say loose the whole typical blue water fishy thing... it's just so expected! Take advantage of the fact that you're logo and...

The sample Hexis sent and my sample book with all the colors & metallics (no matte black) all have a nice glossy finish, no lam needed. In fact, when I held the large sample up to my black truck (Nissan Frontier) it looked like an exact match, color and finish. Oh, and the Hexis is air egress...

Another... so soon... Got a return call today form a lady who’d called yesterday asking about the cost to design a flyer. Lady: I went to Office Staples Depot ;) and they’ll do a flyer for way less than what you charge, but I know it won’t be as nice. So how much would it be if I didn’t want...

Gezzzzz, enough with the paint already! He's not gonna get the Flat/Matte Black look he wants from paint. Research this several months back, got samples, tested both and... He's got two choices for the flat black, mutli-layered cast, Oracal 970 RA at $550 (60" by 25 yards) or Hexis HX20000 at...

Whatever you're paying him, i'll pay him double to come work for me! straight shooting, quick wit... love it! how old is this guy?

Just ran into this same issue, appearing in PDF file. The layout was in InDesign, the problem was a placed PSD image, with a transparent background, that inadvertently hadn't been converted to CMYK. Didn't catch it in the preflight (note to self, don't trust 3am preflights). The discoloration...

:ROFLMAO: Sorry, I got noth'n. Just want to say... stupid or not, you're funny.

From the most indecisive client on the planet: A few days ago I receive two emails, one at nearly midnight, the other two hours later at 2am. He's sending photos to be used in his project, that never seems to end. I'm up and working, so I file the attachment, but don't respond because IT'S THE...

Can't offer advice on how best to cut your aluminum iSign, but here's a favorite clamp of mine. I'm sure I originally saw it on the New Yankee Workshop, at least 8 years ago, and just had to have it. Use it all the time and love it... still a sharp straight edge after all these years. Tru-Grip...

Cool... you added a family pic... Great Photo!

While this isn't the perfect solution, it'll allow your sales reps. to save their changes but not retain the form capabilities. As you already know, you can't do a "save" or "save as" but you should be able to go to your print menu and opt for "save to PDF." It's been over a year since I had...

What prompted him to join? I have a nephew that i think could really benefit in the same way your son did? I don't think he's headed down the wrong path or anything... can't seem to find a path at all... kinda just in limbo. Enlisting seems like the kind of thing a someone would have to have a...

More good stuff Jon.... thanks!!!

Contest???? that's no contest... it a ruse! Don't waste your time! 1. To learn about working with client requests you won't be working with clients, you send them your files and that'll be then end of it 2. To teach myself/learn more about designing read, read, read, practice, post...

Did it come with pink handled safety scissors?

Rick, somehow I knew you have the perfect verbiage to appropriately cover all the bases..... must be the crown. I really gotta get one of those.

Wondering if any of you, on invoices or contracts, note that clients only own the final chosen design and not any of the preliminary designs or options? I didn't, until a clients wanted files for all the preliminary logo designs, so they could print them as a collage on their napkins and the...

It didn't take 8 years, it took 6-8 months, to see an improvement that could be directly associated to being a chamber member. I forgot to mention, I never go to the mixers. It appeared to me you need to be the kind of person who can work the crowd.... and that's not me. I go to things that...

Personally, I'd pass on the BBB. As for the chamber of commerce...YES!!! For me, it took 6-8 months before any impact to be realized. But now 8 years later, a good portion of clients come to me through the chamber, be it the chamber website, direct referral or meeting at a chamber event...
