At first glance it looks like a big improvement. Though there are too many call for actions on the landing page. The decision on what to click next should be SUPER OBVIOUS to the visitor. I would A/B test what you have now against a simple big button (and do multivariate testing on the button...

Haha that's a good one too. As opposed to their non-core brand standards. I want to see THAT manual.

You can't accurately judge your SERP position by simply googling. That only proves if you're indexed or not. The SERPs are changed depending on a million variables and are unique to each person. Use a SERP tracking service to judge your position. If you PM me your URL I can run it through a...

Look into converting your shop to a G7 color workflow. Best way to get consistent color across multiple machines.

Brand Guidelines is the most common phrase (and the one that is usually the most comprehensive and more likely to have what you're after). Identity Guidelines is common too but will be less about perception and only about the technical guidelines.

Foot traffic is great if you're a small shop making your living off small jobs for small businesses.* Once you get into print fulfillment and higher volume it makes much more sense to be in Class C digs instead. *Or, it was, the internet is the new foot traffic. Most customers worth pursuing...

I think Onyx has an illustrator plugin for grommets but really we just have the table people/finishers measure before they put in the grommets, according to the work order. Their time is cheaper than a designers and it's an operation that only takes moments anyway.

Logos are part of Identity. Identity is your company's face while your company's brand is it's reputation.

Use an e-fax service, they're dirt cheap now. Have the fax show up in your email so you can view it at your desk or smartphone or tablet or where-ever you are.

99designs, and spec work in general, isn't design. It doesn't incorporate design practices. It's just drawing for a client. There's no market research, no persona development or targeting, no iterative multi-disciplinary processes, etc. It's glorified doodling on a specific topic and is not...

Exactly. Running cuts through Illustrator is a joke and a massive waste of human hours. Do you really want designers wasting time manually nesting and sending cut files? If you have quality designers being paid appropriately, that's going to be very very costly.

You can either do that with automatic nesting (Placement Setting: Conserve Media, also Setup->Options check Allow Rotate and Best Fit) or you can do it in Layout Tool (which has auto-spacing as well). We use auto nesting for jobs that aren't too long, for long high-quantity cut jobs we use...

Since you're already used to smaller Roland equipment it might be worth looking at the VersaStudio 20" BN-20.

You should be handling those issues with Acrobat Pro, Distiller or Pitstop Pro, not Photoshop. And ganging in AI instead of your RIP software is...nuts.

Would have been easier to have just joined them at it one day. One old dude participating in an activity is sure to kill it. That or changing the automatic sprinkler timing...

HP ink won't dry, like ever, unless it's cured. Luckily it doesn't have the solvent or heavy metal load of solvent inks and HP does have a good recycling program if you're so inclined.

Here's a good slideshare on the laws of branding that just came across my stream, found it applicable: http://www.slideshare.net/happysammy/the-22-immutable-laws-of-branding-b-i-z

The difference is young, powerful movers are onboard the O campaign and have been since '08. All-star tech and design companies tend to be liberal, if you look at the biggest sector growth in the last 20 years it's companies chaired or founded by liberals which gives O a huge advantage when it...
