  1. ** The Official Illustrator vs. Corel Draw Thread **

    I don't think it matters...if the user can't design, or does not know how to get a file ready for any kind of production situation, then who cares what they use.
  2. Flexi investment...

    I'm a hardcore Illy user but openly admit CorelDraw is an equal program in it's abilities...it's like saying my pencil is better....just depends on who is pushing it around. No point in saying what is better...but what is better for you..... Having worked at a few shops, I put together all the...
  3. Flexi investment...

    What do you do when you have a laptop with no scroll wheel or a one button apple mouse. If you get used to all the keyboard shortcuts, it becomes second nature.... I reccomend Flexi (or any major sign software for tha matter) only if you are doing a lot of production. I have Flexi and really...
  4. door/window size estimation software?

    I have had a client tape an 8 1/2"x 11" piece of paper before they take a pic to use as a size reference and then size to scale to get fairly close...when I do a survey I take along a 2 foot by 2 foot checkerboard panel for sizing.

  6. Lets take a VOTE

    Both...but design and Internet on Mac
  7. What font? no sample

    Looks very close to squeezed Davidson Americana...the ampersand looks like it came from another typeface...
  8. Cutting weighted outline in Illustrator.

    Oh, on the Corel cracks....if you design with strokes you have the same hassles...it's not an Illy thing. Some of us like to design with strokes because offsetting the path has less control....especially when working with 3 or more layers, one you chand one layer, you almost always have to...
  9. Cutting weighted outline in Illustrator.

    Here is what I did in a few minutes with 3 colors...you will notice an arrow where the thick stroke went a little wierd on me but that's a few seconds to fix. On the "ungroup" being grayed out after you outline path....I'm not getting that at all...could that be a Mac/PC thing? I don't see...
  10. Cutting weighted outline in Illustrator.

    I would say that took about 4 hours and 55 minutes too long. On the area that needed to be outlined, all you have to do is make a copy of the top layer (with no stroke) and set it aside... then Object>Path>outline Object>Ungroup Window>Pathfinder>unite>expand Place the top layer that...

    I wish it was that simple....
  12. What is ADA

    There is some good money in ADA signs...I was involved with a hospital project that has 2 million in mostly ADA signage...

    Who said anything about happy ending....teenage boy with hormones, and a father trying to light a fire under his arse, a recipe for disaster...
  17. Starting out!

    We need another horse..... Hey, I got something out of it, my kid is using the sketches for something he is doing....
  18. Starting out!

    Back off....I'm beating this dead horse until there is nothing left but a little nub of fur and gristle!
  19. Starting out!

    Those are not design ideas...they are color ideas.......you are putting the cart before the horse. An "idea" or "concept" for your logo is probably going to benefit you way more than AutoCad/Corel/Illustrator skills so concentrate on the idea of the logo...not to see if the colors are going...
  20. Starting out!

    Or maybe he got it at http://www.ringtonejukebox.com/graphiclist.asp?lt=4&categoryID=434 and trying to use it as a quick example....
