  1. logo idea

    You'll need to justify to yourself why your logo would be better than the one here: http://www.visualimpact2.com/
  2. Critque?

    You're still not putting pencil to paper, you're going straight to the software and putting out your ideas that could have been weeded out by sketching. the design is covered a heavy coat of weak sauce. It shows. I mean for the love of all that is unholy, am I just banging my head against a...
  3. Why does coffee in cafes taste 100x better than at home?

    Speak for yourself ... I grind my own coffee, brew dark and awesome and use good quality beans ... I often also find myself rubbing that thin ultra fine residue in my grinder and rubbing directly to the gums ... oh man, shot to the heart. star bucks aint got nothing on my labor of love. All...
  4. Which canvas?

    If it's solvent, no, if it's inkjet i would probably say a good spray varnish coat will help prevent the ink from bleeding. the table top urethane they have that makes those huge bar tops is different than regular urethane you'll find it above the regular varnish and it does something like 10...
  5. Critque?

    Plus one to Circlevilles stuff. I will refer this to many of the OTHER logo critiques that have been done here. read through them ... you are suffering from the same stuff. also, I posted a LOGO RESOURCE ... actually go to the sites and practice first. and for the love of all that is...
  6. - parents beware

    And is there a reason why the heimlich maneuver was never taught? I learned that in 1rst grade. heck, they beat it into us ever other year practically ... then in cubscouts they made us learn it, and in boyscouts same ... heck middle school health class made us learn it ... so did highschool...
  7. Rounding Corners?

    +1, I used to have all sort of templates for various sizes I cut out of scrap for my normal jobs so I didn't have to re-invent the wheel every time. ovals are the big one i used, next were corner templates.
  8. Is this common knowledge?

    Sorry speedster, I'm a little ornery today. Really it's not all that common knowledge, just common sense to color match before you order ... I mean crap and a half, I got 2 rolls of oracal 951 few months back same color ... looked different ... stupid *** batch colors.
  9. Is this common knowledge?

    Yeah, you can't trust codes when you switch from grade to grade of a vinyl. Can't even do that with paint, don't know why you thought that would be different with cast vs calendared let alone the adhesive, thickness of material and why it handles outdoors are completely different. Only thing...
  10. Which canvas?

    If you're looking for a spray adhesive that will hold 100% for years on end with no issue with just the adhesive alone ... won't happen ... they all brittle or die with age and exposure. since the canvas will lay flat into the frame ... why not just flood the surface of the canvas with a...
  11. Which canvas?

    Seriously? what the heck is wrong with 3m spray adhesive, it's acid free and will stick wallpaper to an elephants ***.

  13. Font ID on this wonky 'western' font

    I know I'm missing this simple font, but it's from computers long past. Thanks guys.
  14. printers- what do you use and what would you recommend buying?

    odor, that and the ink doesn't dry out in the heads like in solvent printers.
  15. How the heck should I know?!?

    +1 I would still hold the receptionist responsible for oversights like this crap. I would also tell the 'accountant' how to do her job when something doesn't get paid in over 7 months because her desk looks like a hamster cage. And start the process of getting yourself set up ... I have a...
  16. When it too much, too much?

    I charge hourly. You will find very quickly she will become decisive on her options when you charge her $95 per hour to let her sit down with you and design out the cards. Either that or fire her.
  17. printers- what do you use and what would you recommend buying?

    I would follow the advice of others, and find out what your business needs are and find a printer to suit. I can only go by my own example where we would only need a 24" solvent or latex printer to cover the smaller jobs that are in a 'rush' and need it right away without a 2 day turn around...
  18. Crazy One.

    Trotters is Tiffany heavily modified, the R's now sweep double outline, inner outline with the pin lines cut out of the inner outline, etc.
  19. Thoughts. Ideas. Critique.

    http://www.google.com/search?q=sign+crafters&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a 9 of the 10 on google are sign shops. Fail.
  20. Won an iPad 2 but...

    Better is subjective, they haven't said they were going to increase the sizes of the drives on the bastiches, they haven't said they were going to make the screen visibility and resolution better, and they haven't said they were going to optimize the processor for better multi-tasking...
