You really should check out the merchant members more often. go to h&h sign supplies website, they have inkjet printable vinyl in a4 sizes.

Yeah, S8 ... they fell in love with the style almost immediately ... I think because they are so similar.

So, with my day starting and continuing to be a pain in the butt ... I've been trying to think of fun times I've had in the past while working. A couple moments are shining today. I remember there was a dude who came in the shop with a dark purple Miata ... dude was a total laugh riot...

I have linear pricing, but that still doesn't account for difficulty or time which I normally have to adjust for only on small stuff. Oh, I like the flea market guy, he makes me look AWESOME ... had a car club come in and get a graphic (see attached) ... I think I spent a total of 2 minutes...

Got to love coming into work to have someone waiting for you tapping their foot ... always starts out with a 'your time isn't as valuble as my time' sort of dialog even if words aren't spoken. Dude wanted ten 3"x4" custom '4x4' graphics (one color) for his 'truck club' which I'm always happy...

You need an open dialog with design only clients. I will be the first to admit ... if I do a 10 minute design and/or logo I don't charge them for it ... why should I ... it's basically proofing and is built into any work. if they want that file afterwords ... they then get the 'it's not...

You could use that silicate bronze stuff they use on 'metal' plaques now with cnc routers ... strong as metal, but half the weight of real bronze. either that or you can on shaq to use his kazaam powers to make it impervious to idiots. really though ... height is the only real way to...

crap, man ... this is what I get with no coffee in me.

What pat said. ... just make sure the vinyl doesn't have a silver blockout on the back (certain metallics) and you'll be fine ... oh and untinted optically clear windows too. Before you cut, take a sheet of white paper out there tape it to the inside of the window while you and the customer...

My design computer at home gets shut down regularly, my other 2 computers at home stay on almost 24/7 but go into power saving mode when inactive. At work ... the computer stays on all the time ... only time I turn it off is for the weekend ... otherwise I would prefer the system do it's...

Good stuff Craig. Alrighty then lets get to the gravy. Attached is a quick sketch. Basically, one of the things that visually doesn't jive with me is the bottom of the g in signs ... there is a lot of care and attention to create a dynamic style of lettering, but the bottom of the G does not...

Personally I don't think anyone in the sign industry should be salary ... it removes that certain amount of excitement at the prospect of overtime... encourages most people to start to slack off, because 'eh, i'm salary' ... and most of all .. really, it just isn't effective. In an office I can...

Constructive criticism doesn't need to be harsh at all. But sometimes you can't just say 'bad dog' you need to rub their nose in their own mess. Like I said, no sympathies from me. In college I had a professor that called me on my artsy fartsy crap, saw the huge pile of poo I threw up in front...

Someone as a certified installer forgot the 3m edge prep, and the 3m edge sealer. ... and the skill to install it.

I like you, you know that right? You my felonious friend are a prime example of most designers out there. Overly sensitive, and will spend more time being a pissy peggy on a forum than to spend the time to start over on a bad idea. Good luck, you'll need it.

Found some general hold harmless ones a while a go I modified for my needs, paid to have a lawyer look them over.

Vector doctor and jillbeans should be able to do what you need.

:goodpost: Only, don't expect to throw out sub par work for a 5th grader and expect people to swoon at your lack of creative skill. Start over, suck it up ... do better. You'll get no sympathy from me, hoss.

Those people were idiots. East Penn Graphics will grow with you. Otherwise you would have to justify to people time after time why your work is so eXtreme. ... and why would you want your name to be something that every highschool kid with his cracked version of photoshop things is a great...
