Welcome from depressed brown's country

Sounds absolutely crazy, I know, but what if you pulled up in your work truck, jumped out, climbed on up and started lending a hand, offering advice along the way. When your instruction was complete, hop in your truck and drive away. I bet that would leave an impression!

Boy! The recent posts regarding wrap certification and the like sure have reached a boiling point. Exactly who is governing what regarding this issue? Someone is supposed to govern visual pollution, I guess. If your portfolio doesn't sell a customer, then you likely are not the design expert...
