Oh, and honestly, if it looks like a penis... I think I'm ok with that. Gotta get in that subliminal messaging to the ladies around here (and probably more of the men than they'd care to admit). :cool: Maybe I should go back to the rainbow version to complete the effect. Guess I gotta show...

Ok, so the story behind why my name is what it is is that I originally just wanted it to be Makery Studio, or Makery Print Studio, and my initial research told me that should have been fine, so I went ahead and got my domain set up as makerystudio.ca, but then that name got rejected by the...

I totally dig the arrangement, and I appreciate talking me through the philosophy behind the design, how the principles were used and why. I understood the principle of flow before, but now understand how to actually utilize it through an entry point. Totally makes sense, and I can get behind...

I seem to have caught Gino on one of his better days, it seems :D. I mean, his first comment got an "Ouch" response from me, but seemed like a reasonable way to paraphrase "Needs work kid, but keep going", and he later stated that I was showing some understanding of the basic fundamentals, and...

Anyway, moving past the earlier unpleasantness, I haven't had the time since making this thread to get back to the design because I've been busy with other matters, which includes working on my first window graphic for my first client. I'll hopefully have time to revisit the design tomorrow and...

I'm totally on-board with people not giving a damn about feelings, that's a given to me. Honesty and unsugar-coated feedback is my preference and my own personal style. I just took someone barging in here and opening with "Don't give a damn about your precious feelings" as an appropriate...

As Boudica guessed: scared off? Not bloody likely. More like "triggered to a state of de-evolution" would be more fitting. Sorry to the rest of you for having to seen that from me, but not sorry for having clapped back. I certainly intend to stick around for a while, everyone else has been...

Ok, not being the least bit interested in the state of your feelings: Go f*** yourself. You have a shit attitude and if this is how you deliver constructive criticism you are simply a P.O.S. and unlike the others that have provided perfectly valid criticisms I don't appreciate your's one bit...

G'd day everyone So, funny thing is that I ordered a gallon of Rapid Tac II last week. Shipment arrived Monday, and they sent me a bottle of Rapid Prep instead. Definitely would have used that if I had it, and will try it next time once I actually have it but sadly still waiting on my...

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate the compliments. When you mention you're not a fan of the colors in the logo, do you specifically mean the paw print icon, or the overall color palette? The paw print used to be a lot more colorful, having many more incremental "steps" and going through the...

Again, so many helpful and awesome responses. It's hard to keep track of all the points I want to respond to myself, but thanks again for all the comments. Grouping these two together since they both mention about printing and laminating, so time for another round of some newbie questions...

Thanks for all of the honest feedback so far. I appreciate all of it, the more critical ones will push me to do better and the positive ones tell me what I'm doing right and gives me hope I'm on the right track! I absolutely will be redoing this sign, I simply didn't have the color selection on...

Hey everyone. I introduced myself here recently as being a brand business owner that's new to the sign making industry with nearly no experience. I just finished designing and working on my very first sign, which is for my own business, and so I thought I'd post a pic up here for any feedback...

Ok, so I just got a call from my supplier where they wanted to confirm that I wanted the Rapid Tac II and not just the regular Rapid Tac. Apparently at the local branch they only carry the latter. They are able to ship me out the RTII from another location, so I opted for that, and I would just...

Alright, so I heeded the advice and ordered just a 10 yard roll of the Avery Dennison HP 750, along with a gallon of the Rapid Tac II. Gives me some extra to fulfill another order or two while not being overcommitted, and also meeting one of the pricing breakpoints. I was even thinking about...

Fair enough. I figured in this case it made the most sense to present it as an upgrade option as opposed to a "Oopsie, I need to increase the cost", which I'm sure was probably understood and agreed with in this circumstance on your part, but agreed on my part for in the future to just not...

Ok, so update on the situation, for those that are interested. I had sent the client the quote based off the calendered vinyl prior to making this post. I had since receiving the advice here sent them an updated estimate based on pricing for cast, with an explanation of the reasoning and...

Found the Avery Dennison rep up in here! :big laugh: All kidding aside, this was golden. Thank you for every word above, that's very practical information coming from an informed and critical mind, I can tell. Ok, so the graphic has a border, so to break it apart I would need to create a...

I do have an account set up with ND Graphics, though I've been leaning towards ordering from Grimco since I find their pricing to be lower on identical products, and that ND Graphics doesn't seem to carry Orafol products... but it would be nice to deal with and support Canadian business. Good...

Ok, I'm really glad I asked about the media based on the above answers. I am familiar with the differences between cast vs calendered vinyl, I just thought that calendered would be fine for any rigid, flat substrate (ie. most signage) while cast would be better for irregular surfaces (ie...
