  1. Need Billboard design feed back ASAP!!

    There is an argument for "Don't waste money on a billboard. You already drive on " On a billboard.............WTF? Do as I say not as I do? I think signs should be simple: "I'm stuck here.... but your'e sitting in a moving billboard. coloradosigns.com" Simple. Fast. Effective.
  2. Critque?

    "I'm getting plenty of orders and compliments on my logo" You surely can't be serious. Put down the mouse and pick up your camera. Drive from one end of town to the other and take a picture of every well designed, well crafted sign you see. Signs that actually WORK. Then go home, turn the...
  3. Wall Graphics of celebrities

    Man this site - or at least some of the people on it just gets weirder by the day. Next we'll have Marriage Counsellors requesting info on "what's the best general purpose vinyl to use and how much does it cost and how many mistakes might I expect to make." Oh and "I heard I can makes...
  4. Looking for inspiration...

    Great job! I don't really like the white background with coloured border. Bring it to life !!!!!!!!! Change it to coloured background with white border. Maybe the colour of one of those tarnished "WANTED - Dead or Alive" posters. Good luck
  5. Offered partnership, need advice.

    Patent the damn process, sell the damn process, pick up a percentage of residuals. A very rich man you will be for doing jack $hit.
  6. customer complaining about stencils he asked me to make

    Thats why we cut them out of Polyethylene sheet - it flexes with the surface. Nothing personal but your bad - you should have asked the condition of the surface. Lesson learnt. Cheers - G
  7. Fake wraught iron look.

    Damn... would have loved to see those done in faux rust. Me thinks it would have made a world of difference. Great job though.... for actually thinking about an end result and figuring out all by your little lonesome how to achieve it. Many should take heed. Cheers - G
  8. Whatya think?

    Change the colours to emphasise the heart (pink maybe fading to red) that is naturally formed, blending out to the bottom. Just my .02 cents Cheers - G
  9. Where is my inspiration??? Electricians Van

    Seems too seperated... no link whatsover between the graphic and the text Cheers - G
  10. Wall Mural Installed in Our Office- Painted or Not? Bet you can't tell!

    Great job, although light never falls from the same angle as this portrays, so the absence of light and shade, depth and high / low lights would be a dead giveaway that this was an actual print .... not hand painted. Not critiqueing... just answering the question. Cheers - G
  11. How Fast?

    Don't ask anyone how long THEY would take for YOUR pricing. If everyone says 1 hour and you price it so, but takes you four hours, you are getting burnt. Price it according to how long YOU think it will take YOU to do. If you say 2 hours and it takes four, then so be it. Vice versa as...
  12. Boat Name and graphics for a customer, what ya think?

    Same horse different jockey. If you are going to spend 45 mins, then obviously that is your BEST. If not.... Spend the appropriate time and do THREE different designs for critique... not the same thing in different colours. Doing it that way, you could have done a million variations of...
  13. Homemade Application Fluid??

    "1/3 alcohol, 2/3 water, a couple drops of baby shampoo or clear dish washing liquid - just enough when you shake it there are some bubbles. That's how I read it 15+ years ago and never a problem. now how's THAT for cheap? " +10 Been doing it this way for years and NEVER a problem...
  14. Ever see a wrap go this bad?

    EVERYONE should offer a warranty excepting where it is agreed to prior to undertaking a job. This ( IMO ) is a 50 /50 deal: 1) The client should certainly have raised the issue sooner because I would hazard a guess that it had started to fail within the 12 month warranty period. 2)...
  15. Who authorized this?

    I have no friends. PERIOD
  16. Finally lol

    "Design and Graphics" is a great font but a little harder to read than most fonts in this style. I probably would have moved it done a little further down just to give it a little more breathing room. Overall a great result. I LOVE matching trucks / trailers. Cheers - G
  17. how to sell outsourced..

    BE HONEST ! Tell them that very much like a general practitioner and a specialist, many in the sign profession have a preferred tangent and set their business up accordingly to generate the best work flow, quality, style, all with minimal materials input cost. Likewise, a Ford or GM...
  18. New Layout

    NEVER EVER kern a "cursive" style font like that. Cursive has a beginning and an end . A font is only a replica of what is or has been done by hand. This font style does not allow this. You have an italicised font. Change the font to one that has the lead in and lead out to the next...
  19. Need a helping hand - banner material

    "soooo.. what is the problem with leaving a banner out in 105º weather? just wondering, i've never had a problen" I could be wrong but I would guess they left it out in the sun / heat ROLLED UP and the ink softened, attached to the rear of the banner and well.... you can picture the rest...
  20. To any & all owners

    What the heck... advertise "Signs, Wraps etc" in another town, take the calls on your cell phone, do the jobs with THEIR equipment in THEIR workshop using THEIR tools with YOUR stock and get paid in cash from YOUR customers. This should tie you over till you get paid. Cheers - G
