  1. Making your own fonts

    What the heck is the name of that font?! That's the font I was looking for when the whole "make your own font" think started.
  2. Your opinion on large banners

    Don't tie rope from your grommets to the poles. Tie the rope (or better use cable) across the road then tie the banner to that through grommets placed every two feet. It will spread the windload across the banner instead of putting it all on the corners. Don't do the windslits. They're just...
  3. Intellectual Property and Copyright Theft In Our Industry.

    Never thought of that Bob. Thanks!
  4. Intellectual Property and Copyright Theft In Our Industry.

    You'll probably never see the day the police will start busting random sticker makers. There are several cops on this site who make signs on the side....have any of them ever mentioned arresting somebody for cutting a peeing Calvin? Ever heard of them giving a ticket to a guy for a bootleg...
  5. Marketing Firm??

    I've got a local ad agency that does great television and radio campaigns but lets their "artistic" secretary handle the little print work that they do. The work is pathetic, usually with rainbow gradients and cheap clipart. Sometimes with istockphoto.com artwork with watermarks on it, other...
  6. and sometimes a customer wants "their" artwork...

    Bob, I actually spent the time to convert her files to .eps and .pdf files for her. Baz, I cheerfully gave her the files for free and did what I could do to make it easy for her to go elsewhere. She's nit-picky as hell, she whines about her doctor/kids/husband/boss every time she comes in, she...
  7. Gimme that thang!!!!!! apple keynote in progress!!!

    I don't...unless you want to count the old Macintosh II/SE I've got around here somewhere with it's might 1MB of Ram.
  8. and sometimes a customer wants "their" artwork...

    and sometimes a customer wants "their" artwork and you think about it for 30 seconds, burn them a cd with every file you've ever had for them, and politely send them on their way. As soon as they get out of sight you do the happy dance and smile the rest of the day hoping they've gone to the...
  9. Looking for a heavy A frame sidewalk sign.

    Yeah, what those guys just said.
  10. Font ID

    Looks like Compacta and Folio Bold.
  11. Hard Knocks bar sign

    It's called an oval. I did all the versions, they're all mine. I liked the look of the oval better.
  12. Hard Knocks bar sign

    The effects are a combination of Machine Wash Filters and some Photoshop actions I've had. I was just messing around with it to get an aged, dimensional look. The Machine Wash filters can do some pretty slick stuff really easilly. Here's a rusted and a weathered look. And before anybody...

    I wonder if StickaSteve is gonna come back later and let us know how this all worked out?
  14. Hey OP...something to think about...

    Man is at the top of the food chain...enjoy it.
  15. Hard Knocks bar sign

    Gotcha....make the boards smaller and work the bevel. I don't remember the bevel being that prominent anyway. I think I merged it with the layer below and didn't catch the change.
  16. Hard Knocks bar sign

    Thus the reason for only serving beer in cans...much less damage.
  17. What are your best machine bargains?

    Picked up my compressor at a state auction for $10. It was an $800 compressor labeled "NOT WORKING, LOCK UP MOTOR, SALVAGE ONLY". I bought it because I'd planned on just using the tank to hold compressed air for mobile airbrushing. Took it home, plugged it in to check, it's been working like...
  18. Hard Knocks bar sign

    New redneck/biker/brawler/beer only served in cans kind of bar opening in town. They wanted a sign and artwork to match for t-shirts. Short-term (and realistically probably long-term) the sign is going to be a digital print mounted on Di-Bond and cut to shape. This is not their main sign so...
