  1. Horizontal slatwall graphics install

    There is no best way, slat wall is a pain done with adhesive vinyl application (as opposed to direct print). Maybe see if you can find some construction and bribe the steamroller guy to roll over it as a giant pressure laminator. :rock-n-roll:
  2. this will be an interesting day....

    Sounds like your boss needs a new rivet himself.* *Heard about two installers here locally that got fired because one asked the other to give him a grommet earing and...he did. Blood, laughter, missing earlobe...two less employees! Morons. Also that pin wheel that Prowraps is using...pretty...
  3. I miss.....

    Wisconsin has basically been Washington state this summer--coldish and either misty/foggy or drizzle rain.
  4. Hey if you guys aren't doing this yet you should be.

    Getting specs from the post office is a nightmare. I once spent almost two and a half years bothering them before we ever got actual specifications on a few of our different direct mail formats. The only reason we got those is that they finally had an employee transfer in that knew what they...
  5. Dry erase material that looks like a chalkboard?

    You could try that on some businesses but most teachers or restauranters are paperbombed by direct mail marketing catalogs selling this kind of thing not much above wholesale.
  6. Trouble with PDF and File transfer

    It's "fuzzy" because Powerpoint is a presentation program that is intended for screen viewing, so the DPI is 72, 96 max with an overall pixel count of probably something like 1024x768. Likely the PDF is just a rasterized image of each slide as well. Recreate it from scratch, charge for it. This...
  7. Anyone seen or used Hype to create websites?

    There's going to be a slew of HTML5 visual builder tools coming out over the next few years as the saturation point of people with browsers that support it keeps tipping. Nice to have some developers starting to look at HTML design as a visual process again after the horrors of Dreamweaver...
  8. Possible Company Logo?

    Not bad, fits the audience. Lose the green glow on the taglines.
  9. Pantone Plus ?

    Pantone Plus is the new set of extended Pantone swatches, there are Pantone Plus Bridge books, Formula Guides, etc...the difference is a whole crap load of new PMS colors. It'll be standard in no time, you can get the Pantone Plus swatches for Adobe products already online. It adds to and...
  10. New camera. No more focussing or exposure?

    Designers dream but initial retail price, if they even get that far, can't be less than mid five figures in competition with the Better Light backs and such. If they can do it right away for a few thousand it would be quite the accomplishment.
  11. Custom stripe on camaro

    Matte was the hottest thing like 5 years ago now it's just mainstream and normal. It's what you want on that particular car but it's not something you can get all OMG MATTE about anymore.
  12. Adding a second printer in Onyx

    Simply go through the install new printer dialog.
  13. What would you do?

    Sounds like you should run for alderman so you have a voice at whatever insane group is shot calling. This sounds like a small town, correct? Pretty easy to get on council when you can print campaign signs at cost and cover the town.
  14. Illustrator CS5 workspace question

    I've always found changing hotkeys to be a terrible idea for Adobe stuff. The defaults should be in your muscle memory by now anyway...
  15. Interactive web site

    None that are any good, web design is expensive especially ecommerce and interactive. Unless your small budget has five figures you're probably out of luck.
  16. Hey if you guys aren't doing this yet you should be.

    And try not to annoy your targets. Three of my years as a designer was mostly for direct mail, it's a lot more challenging than it seems.
  17. A new Kenyan Convert

    Welcome! How difficult is it to get parts and supplies in Kenya?
  18. Crazy concept

    Seems to me that everyone here is obsessing over a logo approach that tries to solve the issue when the real problem is a) Does the business have good established branding? AKA "What Would Dan Antonelli Do" b) Sell the concept with the wrap design itself, once branding is established
  19. Has anyone attended the FREE Gerber Omega Training Seminar

    I haven't but others in our shop have and another is actually at one today. Hard sale on Composer 4 like you'd expect but otherwise informational.
  20. young gun

    Get used to it, I'm 30 and look 20. Helps if you dress professionally and communicate clearly but if you're baby-faced it's an uphill battle and always will be. A calm confident demeanor and a strong portfolio makes all the difference. If you're "only" 20, do you have any plans to enroll in a...
