  1. bad customer supplied files

    What you are describing is a Tuesday over here. Even though I tell them that if they send a vector file (.ai, eps, svg, cdr, pdf, etc, etc) ALL typefaces must be converted to curves along with strokes, effects and what have you and work MUST be actual vector work (not photoshop shapes, not...
  2. messed on by the local sign hack... that isn't even in business anymore

    See, if it wasn't sign gold, I could do $350 on a sign like that even if it's a 2 post guy. It's 1 hour of design time, 2 hours of production (cutting, weeding, masking, applying, pre-drilling holes in 4x4's and installing hardware, predrilling holes in sign ... 2 hours ... maybe), hour of site...
  3. Flexi Sign 10 STARTER

    It's possible if you can send it to the production manager. ... as all the starter really is, is a cutting utility.
  4. $100k to cover a Camaro in chrome? Sign me up!

    It's a wrap. at 1:40 they show the trunk ... it was a black vehicle with an edge wrap in chrome. The interior panels are probably chrome paint on a fiberglass shell. Edit- Chrome paint with a red 'anodize' paint layer on top ... really it's just a red that is completely transparent ... but...
  5. Canvas Prints Stretched on to Frame

    Are you doing a standard wrap (1"), gallery wrap (2") or museum wrap (3")? most art supply stores will only carry 1" stretchers at a reasonable price. If you are going for a 2" stretcher, I make my own just by taking my table saw and cutting the drop edge with that, and cutting my 45's on a...
  6. Website pricing

    Jeez, I must be doing something wrong ... when I do websites I almost never do static sites anymore ... too many awesome and simple cms opensource options ... but even then with a full graphics overhaul and theme creation for a cms, setup and back end modification (installing carts, gallery...
  7. Vehicle graphics frames

    I wouldn't use a snap frame, but an extruded frame could work with probably a simple P clip based enclosure at the top to secure the graphics in place could be the way to go.
  8. Vehicle graphics frames

    Man, most of the stuff I have found has been custom builds for larger signs. I can't remember the name but there is a crew out of stark, florida that did custom vacuum forms that were pretty large, but really any vacuum form company can probably make the housing and there are lots of LED...
  9. Vehicle graphics frames

    are you looking for a frame that mounts the side or top of the vehicle? are you looking for replaceable graphics? is it for a truck, van, car, etc. Is it going to be a permanent or temporary frame? Does it need to be lit or is it fine unlit?
  10. Acrylic Custom Sign

    Why would they want clear acrylic? if it's double faced you'll see the back of the art on the other side unless they are blocking it out .. then why bother. or it's single faced and will look like it's not there and really is just a waste of time especially if you see the back of it. Go down...
  11. Serious? Notice the salary..

    Full sail in orlando is about $50k and yeah, when I still lived there ... i saw some crappy income ranges. one place wanted 10 years of experience for a lead graphic designer as well as knowing everything and requiring it to be part managerial ... $9/hr
  12. Serious? Notice the salary..

    I still liked the guy who told me he doesn't let his graphic designers touch a computer or a job for the first year and would be required to sweep the shop, clean up and do supply work/prep work ........... but that is about average for a craigslist post.
  13. What does a graphic designer do?

    if you're lucky.
  14. how do you handle design fees

    sales person is failing at their job if they don't say 'yes, we CAN do that ... but lets talk to our designer first to see what his suggestions are and what would be best given his years of experience in this' sales people don't want to say no because that could be a loss of sale ... they...
  15. Crazy Cat Lady

    All I kept reading into that cat ranch was 'game preserve and chinese food restuarant' ... with that in mind ... here are your practice targets for your customers. at the very least ... print some of those out, poke some pencil holes in them and staple them to trees around your shop.
  16. Logo use, Copyrighted and or Trademarked

    See, that is where the dad did it wrong ... should have been seeking a 'sponsor' and would put the monster M prominently on their kids vehicle.
  17. new logo

    I actually thought they had 2 winners in that 30 day thing. day 2's design was a good mix of old and different without going stupid ... it was simple, elegant and whimsical ... but most people can't read cursive anymore ... so it's out. and the 99 designs one I thought was ******* brilliant in...
  18. Threatened to sue.

    There are days you wonder about people, and realize you hate most people. reading stuff like that makes you do it .. cause we've all dealt with p.o.s. people who do that. I don't get it ... pay your bills. If you're unhappy with what someone does, address it early ... and if you haven't paid...
  19. Crazy Cat Lady

    And that my love, is why we wouldn't have dated. :wink:
  20. Crazy Cat Lady

    When I was in college and dating I would often tell a certain joke to see if the girl was a crazy cat lady or had a sense of humor. it went like this: How do you make a cat, sound like a dog? Dip it in kerosene and light a match to it ... WOOF! :peace!: Shocking which ones don't laugh at...
