Well if we're going to talk about something beyond color yeah both typefaces are terrible as are the effects on them. Start over. The shark is great, though the anal fins are a bit big. That's right I said anal.

Easy answer: use one of the colors from the mask for the Tiger Shark text (say RGB 22,22,22). Slightly less easy answer: pick your dominant color and set up a triad, complementary or compound set of colors based off of it.

You need to go through the uninstall process first or it won't release the license associated with that serial for another install.

Adobe's products use Air & Flash to display the GUI starting in CS4, if your computer has a shoddy graphics card you'll see errors like that on occasion as displaying the GUI takes a lot more horsepower than in CS3 and below. You're running XP so I suspect this is the case. Make sure you have...

A situation that should be corrected! Hit up Adobe.tv and Lynda.com. Always be learning! :thumb:

This is AT&T's take. The hidden thing is that they get T-Mobiles share of the wireless spectrum and AT&T needs a larger spectrum badly so they can roll out their version of 4g. The towers are just a nice bonus. I personally cannot stand AT&T and am on Verizon at the moment (AT&T doesn't even...

The Gmail dev team has been upgrading Gmail again, broke it a bit on a few platforms. Should be fine now (build had major issues in Chrome so they needed to push a few fixes). HOWEVER, it sounds more like you should install the latest Firefox (4 RC is great) and make sure you have the latest...

There's no reason to host your own iron anymore in the age of Software as a Service. Use a Hosted Exchange company if you want to go the Exchange route. I think most sign shops will find that Google for Business is also a compelling offering.

This, I don't like going over 400% but you can go up to 600 or 800% if the art is relatively simple. If it has clean lines you can go really far (but then if it has clean lines you could also just vectorize it...). Most likely you just need to tell the client to get better art or offer to find...

Set up multiple workspaces for different types of work.

Why are you scaling an image (raster art) in Illustrator?

Oracal RA, not EZ

Yep, most likely double-applying color management. If you're printing out of PS to Flexi and Flexi is doing color management you need to tell Photoshop that the printer will handle the output color settings. Just guessing at your workflow, I haven't used Flexi.

The only reasons this is applicable to these forums is that it's inkjet technology...a web press isn't in the same market space. Maybe if you're a shop that also does posters but even then the scale of economy is going to be on your side for short-runs. Never was on your side for long-runs...

You could troll the US Patent office but I'm not sure I'd trust the dimensional drawings for an object that often has a number of different curved surfaces. Most of the phone manufacturers have partner programs that are hard and expensive to get into but give you access to early builds or...

For $150 you could buy a year with Squarespace, which is where I send people who don't want to pay a designer.:toasting: Just general advice for anyone who doesn't go the managed hosting route and buys their own -- avoid godaddy.com. They're horrible across the board. Their domain services are...

Places that sell skins make their own templates, speed to market is an important part of those sales and you can't wait on a template vendor. You can find the more obvious phone templates like the iphone but when you get into the android world with the millions of different phones templates are...

You must be the only person on the planet that uses the windows photo transfer method. Use Lightroom or Picasa or whatever. I actually prefer manually removing them so I can categorize more appropriately and archive the RAW files before I bring copies of the RAW files into my production flow...

HostGator for shared hosting, hands down. Dedicated or VPS is another discussion not one too many sign shop sites are going to have to worry about. If your shared gets slow you probably should spend time on caching and offsite media hosting (amazon s3, whatever) before you look at going all the...

Why don't you just make a new preset? The default smallest file size isn't that great anyway.
