  1. What is wrong with the State of Florida?

    That is alright there Fred, that is just them being anal retentive ... when I moved from Florida to Texas, they got my name wrong ... went from Brian to Brain ... spent 2 years with Brain on my drivers liscense because they couldn't find the original paperwork showing I spelt my name correctly...
  2. here are some business card fronts for you to unleash your wrath on

    Seriously, design a logo first, either that or come up with something you like and can use for everything, doesn't need to be complex ... or grungy. Personally I don't see grunge text working for this layout EVER. come up with an idea and stick with it like you are branding yourself for a...
  3. Loving the end of this year

    I've got about 5 jobs that are fully paid the same way. Can't install the work right now ... too cold, tanks are too long for really ... any shop but they wanted to make sure it's all paid so when the day is right they can just pop in and get it done. Also have 3 jobs that are all paid for...
  4. Good investment?

    A while ago I found a completely printable document with all the pantones as well as cmyk swatches in just about every color ... had it printed and bound ... good stuff ... still use it today to compare to my color samples I can actually print based upon the machine and color profile I need to...
  5. Vote for us!

    Always good stuff to watch the "in the making" vids. Fun and informative. Kudos Joe. What I don't get is how the crappy (in quality) cut vinyl transformers graphic has 1220 votes ... I've seen better from a cricut.
  6. Cutting Magnetic Material

    +1 to the jig. a nice aluminum jig to contour cut your magnetics works wonders ... I have a customer I made one for years ago for his pair of magnetics (moon shaped at the top of a rounded square box) that he would get every couple of months for contracted new hires and for replacements. Good...
  7. Neon effect with cut vinyl tutorial needed.

    It's really not that hard. Black overlay with the cutout as you describe ON THE FRONT and color on the back, use clear plexi so you don't wash the colors out, and make sure it's butted panels. Won't look completely like neon, but will give the same feel of it ... Just make sure you design...
  8. Moonshiners...

    It's actually not that hard ... my brother in law makes it for his bluegrass bands practice. You just need to make sure you don't make methanol (really hard to do) and make sure your still isn't made from radiators and you use nice new materials and use proper construction to prevent poisoning...
  9. Please Vote

    Oh come on guys, are we really arguing about this drivel? If his art sucks, don't vote on it. If someone asks for a vote and their art is good and you want to vote on it ... vote on it. I voted on Joes, I'm not voting on addies and I didn't vote on my good friends art last week for exactly...
  10. When are you closed for Christmas / New Year?

    I'm taking the 24th and 25th off for christmas and I think i'm also going to take the 31st off too. Really could take from the 24th until the 1st off ... but that is a pipe dream.
  11. Can't find something...

    Saw that one, vectorizing a photo is easy. first you need to posterize the art (with a white background) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+posterize+a+photo+in+photoshop then you have the artwork traced in your program you favor http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+use+livetrace+in+illustrator then follow...
  12. Prohibitive cost of digital LED Signs

    I just threw one away that did full color led monuments ... lemme grab the flyer. Snyder Technology out of ohio (snydertechinc.com) ... might want to look them up ...
  13. What would you do? Hand drawn sketch to custom clipart

    Well, as gino has found .. you can get some decent stock art, throw it through the posterize process to get it roughly to either a silhouette or have some features (like details in clothes.) then just vector and done. really it should only take about 30-40 minutes to lay something out if you...
  14. 33" Banner Stand - Material Size?

    Mindless self indulgence, gabagoo.
  15. 33" Banner Stand - Material Size?

    :popcorn: Nice, go for the ban. Seriously, some people love watching people get banned for stupid stuff. I wouldn't be shocked to see for them going for the IP ban on this one. I should also note, it's time to grow up and put on those big boy pants. No one likes the odd kid who screams at...
  16. I could be wrong.. But

    I could easily pick up a ton of work from the car dealerships around here, Basically do on site installs of graphics and the such ... unfortunately the average job takes over 2-4 weeks to approve just because you submit the graphics to the dealership, the rep shows to the customer, customer to...
  17. How your IT guy could be spying on you at work

    Actually, in order to properly profit from the work, the person would need to sign a release to the photos/video in order for the person not to have the ability to sue the "photographer" for sale of photos without his/her permission. Good stuff to know.
  18. I need the font gods on this one.

    :sigh: another free for personal use only font. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: Thanks tiki
  19. I need the font gods on this one.

    I need help with this R and T in that brush/marker type of lettering ... I'm pretty sure it's custom ... but the size is just a little too small for me to get the fine details from on this business card. Any help identifying it will be greatly appreciated.
  20. S\Help sawing rolls of lam and adhesive in half

    When I saw my laminate down ... I do it the old fashion way and get out my japanese saw and spend a few more minutes cutting it. just tape well so the teeth don't break or ragged the lam or adhesive and you're golden ... only one I won't cut is canvas ... no way of making that decent. picked...
