A $1.00 a sq ft is very reasonable for rent. Having to do your own build out at that cost is even better. Trash for that low of a prices seems like a joke. I know I am paying $16/sq ft for my office space and I am only about 300 sq ft. + internet & phone. All I get is trash.

Find a local business that can bend/shape Plexiglass and have it bent to the desired shape and adhere it to the wall with some liquid nails and a couple of screws. (Sorta along the lines of the flyer stands you get at the office supply store)

You can do better than that. You put the mug shot and the Caption "I spent 15 days in Jail over this sign" then "City Government Sucks!"

I would spend money on sending out direct mail postcards to every business in my area. I would bombard them every month with a new special. Then I would knock on doors with custom printed bags of popcorn with my Logo etc.. telling everyone I exist. I would also hire a sign shakers to stand out...

I figured out why It crashed it was something I should have known better than to attempt in illustrator I was laying out two 6'x9' banners in illustrator side by side with some large image files. When I saved I just overloaded my system it couldn't handle the files being that large. I need to...

Your comment had nothing to do with the original post which was concerning software not design. Please learn to read.

That's is a great job on that bathroom. They went way above and beyond and did a nice job too.

I would suggest using a cutting glove to anyone working with a sharp blade. You can get them at any chef/restaurant supply store. A good one is made of chain mail. I think I gave $75 for mine years ago. I use it anytime I am cutting whether on a sign or in the kitchen. Its just good practice to...

It gives me some messages saying the file is corrupt with about 5 lines of greek I don't understand. The photoshop tricked worked well enough for my purposes. I sent over a portion of it to the vector doctor as I didn't want to try and what I had perfect the first time. The rest was mainly text...

I blame the ghosts of the chipmunks from the bucket http://youtu.be/Bwjo74ld0KQ

Thanks Rick. I did find a small work around while not perfect does work ok. I loaded the corrupt file in photoshop and it rasterized it. While not vector at least I have something to work from starting over. It turned out better than having nothing at all.

Ok Smart Asses. You may not like my designs but, I am sure I am not the only guy who has had this happen or will have this happen. So, Please if you have some real advice please post it for me and others in the future who may run across this issue.

My illustrator crashed in the middle of my saving a file. I can see a thumbnail of the image when I go to open it but, it won't load properly. Anyone know of a way to recover the file without having to start over from scratch?

I need to clarify the designers I am referring to have been the ones I have locally tried to hire. I haven't been able to find any $15 an hour designers. I ran ads all over for local designers. I got people wanting to charge me $65 an hour (Full Retail) and most were just horrible. I actually...

This client stopped into my office to see me about a project I have him working on (some mold removal and remediation) and saw the work up on my screen. He asked to see it I told him I was just messing around with some ideas. So I showed them to him. He is paying for the design now. I told him...

Here is the chosen design. It will be going on a window and going on a backlit sign face. The client has procured the sign from someone else. It is used. I will simply being attaching the graphics to the face itself and he will be putting it back together and arranging his own installation. I...

I have tried to hire designers. They are about the same as programmers. They don't show up, they don't return calls, they f-up my deadlines. I don't have time for coddling some Prima donna designer. I have a business to run. I sub out what design work I can when its necessary. This job I...

Hi Guys, Been away from the computer last few days. Closed the job on Friday with the client. He changed up the parameters entirely. Got some good advice and kinda ran with it. Showed some mock ups to the client to show him what I was up to. I also had a conversation with him about hiring Dan...

That is a bigger political question than can reasonably be discussed here. The short & sweet answer is there are many 3rd world countries that have somewhat modern infrastructure in a few large cities usually these are supported by Criminal Activities both in Government and Private life. Some of...

3rd world countries are those countries with a lack of modern infrastructure. Things like Electricity, running water etc... Developing Nations are those who are leaving the 3rd world stage and are developing or attempting to develop a modern infrastructure. South Africa is NOT a Third World...
