    Thanks guys, thanks for the reminder deaton, forgot to do that this time. (ussually the first thing I do). customer just came in, wanted a very limited color range so we went with cut vinyl so he could get the vibrancy he wanted. I'll upload a picture in a couple minutes. installed already...

  5. Ice Cream truck graphic

    Fun day today so I get to work on some ice cream truck graphics. This is one of the elements, started with a sketch customer likes the rough and this mockup. looking for advice on any elements that seem to be missing on the b/w before I move on to color and maybe shading (maybe.).

  8. Help thief!!!!!

    This. Not only that, but if it is motocross graphics ... you will see a high customer turnover so just the foot traffic in order to experience that sort of loss is a huge indicator. even on a 60 day quarter (5 days a week for 3 months) ... 99% gone is you only being there half a day. that is...
  9. Half a million Mac computers 'infected with malware'

    Hmm, forgot that subscription model garbage ... well that might be an exception ... completely limits a system though ... sort of like storing all your files on a cloud server ... your ISP cuts through a line and you're out of business until it's back up ... at least with repeat business...
  10. Anyone selling unused logos?

    :ROFLMAO::toasting:
  11. Half a million Mac computers 'infected with malware'

    I have a design computer that will never be hooked up to the web. I have it networked, but only with my file server which is also lacking internet connection. Anyone who NEEDS the internet to design something isn't a designer. Internet can help (for reference and the such) ... but need ... no.
  12. Anyone selling unused logos?

    This. Plus as others have said, save your unused *quality* logos in case you can easily recycle them. Illustrations or illustrative elements though ... crap, stock art them out.
  13. Help thief!!!!!

    sadly, the cops won't arrest him without proof. find something solid, have him arrested and move on with your stuff. really it comes down to accountability ... you need to find a way to monitor invoices and jobs better otherwise this will happen again ... sorry, he's the bad guy here ... but...
  14. When to charge for a sign layout and when to charge for a logo design?

    This, love this post. +1 Also make sure they pay something (small number) or with something (trade services are great) for your intellectual property rights ... makes it more kosher in trademarking and registering the logo as theirs and not 'theirs' but really yours. otherwise if you do...
  15. Is this anyway to treat a business friend?

    for a while there I gave out referral bucks for jobs ... really a bad move on my part ... telling people this they never really got that it was a 10-20 to 1 referal rate, they expected a 1 to 1 or higher rate. just tell him you don't work that way, and you do appreciate the referral and tell...
  16. Is that the best you can do?

    When I get "can you do better?" or "is that the best you can do?" I almost always start with "how about a free pen too?!" ... they all know they get a free pen if they ask. also quoting the price higher works. ... i then respond with " ... yeah, that is a better price for me!" -smile and...
  17. mutoh 1204 can it print a flourescent colors

    color me crazy ... but why would you want to PRINT something that is not going to have longevity in UV light? just use cut florescent vinyl so when in 6 months when that stuff fades too fast for the customers satisfaction you can peel it off and replace it with something that will actually last...
  18. bar logo - help

    you need a cork on the circular bottom otherwise it won't read as a barrel ... either that or if you WERE going to add a tap ... the side angled towards the text in the 10 oclock area would be where I would place it.
  19. bar logo - help

    Alrighty, based on what you have shown thus far ... you need to discuss what you need to design with your customer ... he/she/they/it might have a dive bar ... but you need to discuss design options for them. Rick gave an excellent example as to which to go from ... and you need to avoid the...
  20. Reducing glare on digital print.

    krylon makes a matte spray that will bond with the laminate ... even think they have a 'for plastic' type that will work marvelously.
