  1. website concept

    I like the concept - it's bold and showcases what you do nicely. I have 2 main concerns... 1. Dark colored backgrounds turn me off. They tend to condense the content. I like things to feel open. 2. Currently, the splash image is so large that it is causing me to have to scroll down to see...
  2. A little Illy help, please?

    Well, here's what I came up with. This is for a branch off of the sign shop for myself - just design work only. Feedback on the design is appreciated, however more concerned with how the trace from the PS file turned out on the text "Design Haus". Thanks for the offers on doing these up...
  3. A little Illy help, please?

    I can try, but the vectorization won't allow for much in the way of scaling....I'll post the results shortly...
  4. Apple has reported Steve Jobs has died

    It is never a good thing when someone like this passes. Jobs was a genius on many fronts. I do think though, that it is important to remember that while his legacy includes devices and practices that have totally changed our culture, we must also recognize that this man was truly one of the...
  5. A little Illy help, please?

    I'm trying to use the font LHF Antique Shop - I could spend 5 hours pen drawing all of the bevels, but I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a dirty spork.....
  6. A little Illy help, please?

    That's what I was afraid of :( I hate Illy's 3d tools as well. But I really need this piece to be vector. Eff me.
  7. A little Illy help, please?

    Hey folks - I'm afraid that I may already know the answer to this question, but I'm gonna ask it anyways :thankyou: In photoshop, you can use the bevel effect to get really nice "prismatic" lettering. Is there a way to do this in Illy as well, without having to physically DRAW all of the...
  8. Strrrrrretcheddd Font ID Please?

    Argh!!!! I should know this! The drop on the numbers looks insanely familiar.
  9. elance...

    LOL - I have used Elance in the past. Here is the biggest problem you are going to have... You are competing with the Middle East. People who will do credible logo design work for $50-75. You are also competing with South America. Where the same work will be done for about the same price...

  11. I used a scrap of left over digital white vinyl and it weeds better than normal vinyl

    Well, the ink itself will add a small amount of thickness to the vinyl. I don't cut digital white unless it's laminated - doesn't work too well for me.
  12. Banners

    Arguing? Really? You come into a forum of sign professionals, the vast majority of which have learned their craft over many years, from apprenticing on up, and when you are given good advice, you scoff at it and say non-sensical things. Then you have the gall to get huffy when you are called out...
  13. Window Perf Problem

    Repeat after me - "Don't laminate perf, don't laminate perf, don't laminate perf". problem solved.
  14. Banners

    This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. So, what you are saying, is that in the interest of learning and growing, you flushed a job that would have put 4 figures into your pocket? Are you on meds? If your customer needs 80 banners in 48 hours, and you are a 1 man shop, that isn't...
  15. My new company website!

    A few thoughts: That background makes the site feel CRAZY busy. The fact that almost all of your content is in the form of images rather than text (I imagine because whoever designed this doesn't know CSS very well) is going to cause you all kinds of SEO problems. I hate stacking images on top...
  16. I used a scrap of left over digital white vinyl and it weeds better than normal vinyl

    Laminated white digital vinyl is a dream to cut and weed :)
  17. Advice

    Our policy is simple. Under $500 - 100% paid in full in advance. Over $500 - 50% deposit, 50% due when we show up to install the sign. If the balance isn't ready, we dont' start working.
  18. Why not wet apply metalics?

    Why lay ANYTHING wet? I mean, yeah - it CAN be easier (though not always), but it never results in as good of a finished product...
  19. Help!

    A magnetic base isn't going to be strong enough to hold that type of design and the attached dibond. I'm not aware of anyone who makes those type of things as a commodity, however if it exists, someone around here can help. I know that there are merchant members here who are fabricators, and...
  20. Help!

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Looks like you've already designed the solution. Now call your local fabricator and have it made to the dimensions you need out of aluminum. Or if you have in house fabrication capabilities, get to work! :)
