  1. Rant: Idiot employees who convert all text into outlines

    Been there...done that. It's only a problem when you can't find the font for some reason. I can't remember for sure, but I thought Omega allowed you to roll back to true text in some cases. Doubly unsure if you can do that when you open the file again. JB
  2. Functional Aging...anybody up on it?

    So I visited the assisted care home where my mom stays, and I walked away with a ton of questions last week. One of mom's new friends is ten years her senior. And at 91 years old, the little gal prances around there like a spring fawn. She even pushes mom (who happens to outweigh her by...
  3. Regulations about having LLC on a sign?

    I don't think so. But to me, that would be distracting. JB
  4. Sign for trailer ramp...

    Cool idea, but I have a hard time believing it will stay attached due to the wind. I'm also wondering if it may cause handling issues with the drag. JB
  5. Storefront vs Home Based Business?

    In this day and age, I'm surprised how many people still use free web-based email and not their own domain email. JB
  6. Storefront vs Home Based Business?

    Grief, I forgot about gas vs. diesel. I usually log 3 or 4 miles of walking time on our rural back-roads every day. I can't believe the lust for diesel fuel in my neck of the woods. It seems the diameter of the exhaust pipes on those trucks is also growing exponentially...along with the noise...
  7. Storefront vs Home Based Business?

    Obviously, this is a Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge issue, and is going to run the entire continuum of pros and cons. The important thing to remember is that you don't outrun what you can effectively manage...all while maintaining good family relationships, good physical health and good mental...
  8. Storefront vs Home Based Business?

    Home based doesn't necessarily mean working from your kitchen table. We've been home based ten years and plan on another five more years before building a stand-alone shop. One mentor I worked for built a $3 million manufacturing business while in the basement of his three bedroom ranch...
  9. Remote Graphic Designer

    Do a competitive analysis and see what other designers are doing with their web sites. That will give you some food for thought. JB
  10. Remote Graphic Designer

    Welcome to the forum. I'm in a totally different market segment than you are so I'll let the others chime in. I checked out the prices on your web site...they seem incredibly low. Too low for anything other than a hobby. Your website is the first point of contact for a good majority...
  11. First Dimensional Sign

    Good advice so far. After some time at it, you'll be able to instantly recognize what makes a good layout "good". JB
  12. Signlab Install Quesiton

    A bridge program allows you to cut from a program like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator. JB
  13. Signlab Install Quesiton

    CadLink has had some impressive incentives to upgrade. If you're running a business, you'd be better off to upgrade due to potential OS incompatibilities. If it's just a hobby, then find a cheap bridge program if you can't locate install disks. JB
  14. What will be the best method on promoting my business on the back of this van?

    I just knew somebody would eventually bite... JB
  15. help please, what font is Brillante?

    If Sign Works hadn't said, I surely would have. Make sure you weld. JB
  16. Happy Father's Day...

    I got an early start with my father's day celebrations today. On Sunday, it will be the kids and the grandsons, but today I sat down with my old boss, Alan, from 20+ years ago to chat and have a beer. Al lost his son to suicide twenty eight years ago, and I lost my dad three years ago...
  17. Its amazing what people do for an install! Who would have the guts to do this?

    Not really, I am extremely judgmental about how my employees look. And from the looks of things, I would have sent them all home for another chance to get it right. Un-tucked shirts are my biggest pet peeve. But from the look of their work, it might be futile to expect any more than what's...
  18. Hmmm is this a font?

    Looks a bit like Bank Gothic, but it's an easy one to trace. JB
  19. Its amazing what people do for an install! Who would have the guts to do this?

    Looks like a committee in full session. And...what the heck is that heart shape on the lead man's bum? JB
