Honestly I just moved to Southern California and don't know why they are like that. I'm guessing because it is an older building there were weak spots that developed so they had to reinforce it in specific spots. I agree that it looks terrible but what can you do?

We’re in Southern California and those supports are for earthquake proofing. Thank you for the input. I’ll update on what we end up doing.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had experience installing Halo-Lit Channel Letters on walls that have a sort of triangle indentation like shown in the photo attached. We are concerned that the light will appear uneven since the distance from the Leds varies as it goes from letter to...

are these the next elements?

Well it looks like jsmoritz2000 is the winner with 4 votes. He gets to pick the next three elements

Yes you have it right

IT gets my vote. I could see a cool sign design coming from that

I guess I'll start this thing off. Here are the 3 elements we have to work with. I got them from the creative commons so we should be able to use them without worrying about copyrights. Plus these are just for fun so I'm sure we don't have to worry about that.

Ok, Johnny Best makes some good points. I will work on some modifications to the rules. What do you think of these; 1. Someone posts 3 elements that can be either a type treatment, photo, color scheme, etc. 2. Players mix the 3 elements to create a pseudo business logo 3. Players and other...

Here is the rules from their website. We can just use them as our rules. Two competitors swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley” and then we post that to the site live. A third participant, a writer...

Cool! First thing we have to do is establish the rules. Did you visit the layer tennis website to see how they play?

So do you want to play?

But this is a game for designers only though...Like real collaborative work type stuff. Just for fun.

Has anyone ever heard of Layer Tennis. Basically it is a graphic design game where one Graphic Designer does a design using Photoshop or Illustrator. Then they send the file to a nother graphic designer and the edit it to look different and add an element to it and then send it back to the...

Thanks everyone for your input. I will look into these options. I don't think new rip software is in our budget due to learning curve and initial cost. I do like the idea of a printed PMS chart in the binder. That is something that would just take a little bit of time but worth while in the...

I'm using Raster Link 5 sg

Just curious if anyone has advice on color matching. I am a graphic artist at a custom sign shop in a small town. We don't often have to match colors so precisely but we have started doing it more often lately. Are there any tools that you all would recommend to make the process easier? Other...

I've been at a sign shop for just over 2 years now. I was hired through a friend at the art center that is located here in town. It is a small city and the art center is the best place to find people with artistic ability. I'd search and see what your local art center says when you tell them...

Hi Fellow Signmakers, I have been in the Graphic Design industry since 2008. I went to Robert Morris University in Chicago, IL to learn my trade. I have learned a lot in the 8 years that I have been churning out attractive Commercial Art. I would say my motivation has been working with business...
