I have a customer insist on these exact fonts although I tried to sell them on others (ecspecially since they are doing reflective lol) But its their choice so I need a font ID on both. The fishing one is pretty common.

Thanks. Thats what I was thinking but I'm hashing it out with my boss. lol

I have a customer interested in wraping his hood "instead of painting it" So what do you guys usually say to this? Suggest a professional paint job before you're willing to touch it? What about sanding the bad spots and hitting it with primer. I guess my real question is how good does the...

I recently had a banner made there to match a banner that I had them make a year ago. I tracked down my orginal drawing that I had faxed for the first banner and sent it so that it would be the same. New one came out 2 inches shorter. Luckily for the particular job it didn't matter much so we...

Your guys' advice is much appreciated. :thankyou:

Thanks for the great resource Colorado.

After seeing some of the fonts out there its become obvious to me that I need to invest in some quality ones as my business grows. My question is how do you all usually budget for fonts and other forms of artwork? Do you buy it on a per job basis? (seems like it would be easy to cancel out...

Keep a quality digital camera near you. Take pictures of brick walls, concrete, and whatever inspires you. A little bit of photoshoping and over time you will end up with a large library of your own orginal fills. If your in more of a hurry check out the merchant directory on here. Several...

haha Great point! I good salesmen would mention they can barely make a handmade banner for that.

You have to understand a lot of what people are upset about is devaluing your (and more importantly all of our's) craft. Everytime we cave to do something for next to nothing, myself included, we think "well xx dollars i didn't have anyway." Then you hear from them or their friend expecting...

renting 10 is just way to low to mess with anyway you look at it. So that needs to go up. Here's another thing to think about though for everyone who mentioned the pain of not getting them back or damage. If you can get a deposit for the amount you charge retail for that banner, then you...

You could recommend each line of text as a seperate magnet. Not as great visually but as far as function and safety it would have its benefits.

I actually got started by editing "skins" on racing games at like 14. At 17 when I had my own car I used the same games for layout my graphics and then having a 3d model of what my car would look like. Laughable to some maybe but it was pretty damn effective. Like the kid I took the graphics...

well put webguru

Ok here is my thought on the benefit of a kick back verses having him just outsource the work to me. (sounds like its an either or type thing) If he refers a good customer once. I give the kick back once. And I am left with what will hopefully a profitable account in the future. Where as the...

The biggest thing that bothers me is how some letters are italicized and others aren't. I'd say its not bad as a starting thumbnail but a lot can be done to improve it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm definately going to use it.

A local print shop wants me to stop in and talk about pricing for them to outsource banners and yard signs and that kind of stuff through me. Also he asking about just referring customers to me and getting some sort of kick-back. So my question is do any of you season veterans have referal...

Tell them the only option is to place the gromments in the center of the banner each placed an inch apart. I bet they won't even mind. lol Also make them keep approving different designs. Then after that even make a separate proof showing where the gromment locations are and make them approve...
