  1. What files/artwork to give clients?

    Logos always get sold in my shop. When the purchase outright buys the rights to the logo completely, they get a signed art release from me naming them as sole rights holder, the files in EPS, JPG and TIF as well as any other relevant files. And their files get stored on a backup hard drive in...
  2. Accurip and halftones

    One of the shops I do work for is going to get an epson 1430 black maxx (?) with accurip. I will be the one training everyone, so I have a few questions and nothing I read so far is any clear on this so bear with me ... Is the RIP going to convert greyscale to half tone automatically? and If...
  3. Chrome design?

    If it's not going to move, the dude could easily have the paint sand blasted off and get the car polished to a scratch free shine ... then clear coated for almost 2 or 3 grand.
  4. win 8.1 coming out. and technet is killed.

    I don't really care about microsoft anymore. They are trying to beat apple and google at their own game, sucking hard and alienating their client base. If my programs would run in it effectively I would switch my systems over to ubuntu, fedora or linux mint and tell apple, google AND microsoft...
  5. Where to find a Female Spartan/Trojan Warrior

    Or, oh hell, just tell them you need to hire a mascot service and they will get something completely theirs for the work ... I've resorted to it. Most will have a rate for just a B/W ink drawing or sketch and just get the lady in a few poses. Might cost them a couple hundred ... but here is a...
  6. Where to find a Female Spartan/Trojan Warrior

    There are tons of spartan mascot things you can convert to being a female if you know anatomy. For example ... http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-13604861-gladiator-warrior.php That is more roman than spartan, but it's easy enough to change pecks to breasts, and make the 6-pack...
  7. What's your planned schedule for the 4th?

    Depends. Hopefully just working on illustrations. If not ... I'm afraid I will be setting up a studio/gallery for my artwork so it will be open by friday night and have work in it for an event. I hope not. Pain and torment.
  8. Chrome design?

    First, CHA CHING! Because he's going to pay out the butt for that. Second, just show him a photo of a chrome vehicle, render the car with a texture if you need http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYuBMmydf9E Third, hope he doesn't mind a mess of scratches, saw a chrome vehicle in Dallas last month...
  9. It's official. We can make more money flipping burgers...

    If the dude is in India ... $5 is worth it for him. Think about the market it's from, we think products made in china will be cheap, but worth the (little) money we pay for them. Now on the other side, I have done the $20 15-30 minute logo thing sometimes ... paid more than when I did some...
  10. Logo for my business

    That is a great way of saying it, only it wasn't simple and memorable, it looked like the dude played too much Portal 2 and thought a cmyk version of it with a trite typed out typeface was good. If I saw that logo, I would think he is a photo printing service. But to each their own. My logo...
  11. Logo for my business

    Software does not a designer make. Same goes for fonts. Think harder, do better, expect flack for garbage art. Don't like what I have to say? Grow a thicker skin, or do better (or try at all). I'm not making suggestions to you since you need to try first. It's not my job to do your job for...
  12. Logo for my business

    font sucks, it's a clipart logo from a 'free vector' site which means you can't trade mark it, copyright it or protect it. you really didn't think about it, so i'm not going to waste a lot of time helping.
  13. Font help needed with this logo

    And more Cowbell.
  14. Logo for my new business

    There was a time I would tear this apart, but really ... if you're installing stereos, doing tinting and then doing 'signs' and wraps which most people will read this as 'SICK GRAPHICS' .. it's fine for a logo. My suggestion is to get rid of that clipart skull **** in the logo and draw it...
  15. Kia Soul Partial Wrap

    Looks wrinkle free and doesn't look like a sore thumb. If the customer is happy, slap a done sticker on it and file it as a good job.
  16. Logo Designers Needed

    That is exactly what I thought after I hit the post button.
  17. Has anyone seen a font like this or can anyone make me a font like this?

    It's just a stencil style someone made from Helvetica (or Arial ... font-snobs :peace!:) just throw into vector program of choice, type out what you want, convert to outlines, then just cut out your stencil hollows by throwing a geometric shape over it and hitting (simplify in corel, front minus...
  18. I would love some help with this font.

    Close enough that I won't have to recreate with a pen too. Thanks Fred.
  19. What does a graphic designer do?

    Alright, that last post was a little snarky. Lets try that again. I don't care if I'm ever labeled a graphic designer. Too many people who are willing to use that to describe themselves when they aren't ... it's the new 'I don't want to call myself a Janitor' career. No one will call...
  20. What does a graphic designer do?

    Depends on your part of the world. But here, 'graphic designer' means you work at places like Hastings as a cashier while saying you are even remotely creative when all you do is sling **** on a paint document and send it to me to make professional. Found one shop in town that apparently...
