  5. Hold off on that Vista

    Macs are not immune to this either. I am waiting on Adobe CS3 to get an Intel Mac. The switch to Intel was prbably the best thing Apple could do, but has made it problematic for my current software.
  6. clipart logo design

    I don't like to use clip-art myself but for being a clip-art snob, I have a huge collection of it. If I ran a traditional sign shop I would use it, I use it for print work, there is no way I could compete with quick layouts if I had to hand draw something like that.....all my clipart is catalog...

    "The Packaging People" Looks like "Goudy Old Style Italic" that has been sheared(italicised) a little more than normal.
  10. Font question - buying

    Most decent fonts sets are around 150-250 bucks a set. It's not that the expensive ones are better for vinyl for printing but they are different. If I was going to sell a typeface would I want to stick it in a 20,000 typeface collection and make 1/2 a cent for all that hard work? Or 200...

    Well, I think Wild Indian is saying something different that the original poster..... I would like to comment on the crit section... Work is placed in the crit section to be commented on, noone is holding a gun to thier head. To critique basically means "to be critical of" It is supposed to...

    There is nothing praiseworthy about mediocrity. How long does it take to kern a layout? 30 seconds....a minute at the most? Thats called service. The customer liking a poorly kerned sign is not a design principle or even a business principle, it's just an uninformed client and a poorly skilled...
  13. Hello

    I'm a former franchise employee and I learned a lot from that experience...especially how to shut up when the client had a really, really bad idea and the fine art of compromise....of course I forgot it all but I still try. Welcome!

    What wrong with bottom feeders?...the bigger fish need something to eat too, and there is nothing more tastier than a BFLT.....Bottom Feeder with lettuce and tomato sandwich, when the Bottom feeder is nice and lean, and the tomato is ripe....they're so perky. I love that
  15. Flexi/Lxi Contour effect in Illustrator

    I pretty much do it how Doug does it. It speeds up your designing, especially on complicated logos and layouts. Unless you know your specfic offset path measurement, it's usually hit and miss, adjusting strokes is faster an easier, then when the client picks a direction, you start making the...
  16. Outline around outline in Corel?

    I do what gnemmas does, but I do the equivalant in Illustrator. You have more control with adjusting the strokes. Contouoring (offset path) is sometimes hit and miss.

  19. I Really Need Opinions

    D.I.Y. seems to be creeping into this (and other) business more and more these days. One of my favorite magazines is based on it....(http://www.readymademag.com/) If you are going to do it, I would raise the bar a little bit and maybe double your budget and get a better start than the average...

    It is pricey but thats when you charge it back to the client.
