  1. To pay commission or not...?

    Other than the frightening violence (really? I'll never understand people who get physical, life is too awesome to get into fights) I agree with Gino for once. Though it's funny to say "it's illegal" and then talk about first degree assault and "shooting people at point blank range" like it's...
  2. Self CLing White for L25500

    General Formulations has a white static cling and HP profiles available, works fine.
  3. Working procedure requirements

    So what, people need breaks. If you don't take breaks you won't be at peak productivity. Humans != Robots
  4. So.. This car

    http://picasaweb.google.com/110744996464733071747?gsessionid=Y3g-fv11xlymFPq5stgY4Q SkinzWraps did the Bugatti for Epson, here's their web gallery. There are shops that specialize in high end wraps for the ultra rich too, especially overseas. If you've got a car like that you want to put new...
  5. What formula do you use to quote a job?

    Missed this. Completely invalid point and unnecessary as no one is arguing uniqueness as a selling point. The results of a good design process will always be unique to the client, job and situation otherwise they aren't design--therefor the fact that it's unique, as you say, is not a factor in...
  6. Footage Counter

    Awesome hack.
  7. What formula do you use to quote a job?

    Just for argument sake: If you had two white balls exactly the same in every aspect you could still charge more for the one that you built up a brand and reputation and market perception that it was worth more around. Not only does Bob discount design completely (I can only imagine his business...
  8. can't figure this one out

    H&F is always expensive as they're a top notch foundry. Worth it.
  9. Need installer for pretty cool wrap design, west coast FL

    Like them both, didn't get anything negative from the first one either but I'm somewhat young and enjoy retro styling.
  10. Adobe's new pricing strategy

    CS4 is revolutions beyond CS2 and CS5/5.5 added a ton of nice things to Illustrator for sign people. I always stay at the latest version. Usually make up the cost in productivity gains within a few months, if not faster. Adobe has really been knocking it out of the park the past few upgrade...
  11. Working Late

    Stick a webcam pointed at your printer and remote into your rip or printer interface and you can go home and be a normal human without being super paranoid that the shop burned down while printing unattended.
  12. Through-cut Decals

    Sounds like the perfect job for a Gerber Edge FX + Gerber EnVision.
  13. Ceiling Murals

    Phototex is awesome but before we had heard of it we wrapped an entire restaurant interior in Oracal 3951G with 290G lam. Certainly cheaper than 3M but also a high quality cast solution. Also a permanent adhesive. Also worth looking at for a cheaper alternative is Oracal 3691, which is...
  14. Print for our waiting area

    Good idea and execution. Managing and influencing client perception is so important.
  15. What formula do you use to quote a job?

    You're cute, keep on drudging while people like Dan Antonelli make bank doing quality work. Design is not and never has been a commodity. You can attempt to commoditize graphic production but doing so strips the design out of it, as design is an exploratory, iterative, individualized process...
  16. Stumped. Livestock Transport Logo

    The artist is Chen Wenling, that particular work got HUGE coverage in the online world a couple years ago as it's so damn rad.
  17. What formula do you use to quote a job?

    Targeting your business towards clients that understand design is a service instead of a commodity is really important, well said. Don't be afraid of putting up a velvet rope and only letting the clients who understand the client/designer relationship through. You'll end up happier and more...
  18. I really Hate the School District.

    They probably had their budget slashed between ordering and payment seems like schools are getting cuts biweekly these days. Be polite but firm, school administrators are overwhelmed and in really tough positions financially. That said you need to get yours.
  19. Working Late

    Work on your business not for it. Automation. Employees. These are good things.
  20. Working procedure requirements

    Sounds like someone who doesn't know how to manage and just fell into it. Those types like to make pointless proclamations and rules just to show they're doing something as deep down they're really insecure. Could always call OSHA to dictate how the workstations are set up...
