  1. Discussion Turn down work

    If they were to bring in a crappy trailer but it would be decent money I would probably accommodate the art to "cover" most of his trailer damage from earlier decal. If he went for the price, good.....if not, so be it. The only thing I pretty mush say a firm "No" to is rush jobs or jobs with a...
  2. drywall primer paint and topcoat

    for bare sheetrock you can use a flat interior paint and then I prefer matte or eggshell BEHR for topcoat. Theres no sense in running out to New Look and overpaying for paint you dont need
  3. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Oh its know its not a challenge!
  4. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Gino, as many years as you claim to be in business and always offering advice to EVERYONE that posts your layouts suck. That sign you posted was absolute crap I dont care if it was quickie or not. You should know better than that since you are always taking everyone else to task. And if thats...
  5. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Given the information that was posted, yes I do. that crap you posted made my eyes go all over the place.
  6. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    I wanna know who the hell layed this out, its horrible! Ive done several Century 21 and Ive never known them to "stray" from these new colors, tell him to put some inflatable animals near the sign. Now as far as this crappya$$ layout tell Uncle Guido to drop one of those numbers and clean that...
  7. How do I destroy this sign?

    why can you not make your sign a little longer and just "miss" the concrete pad that way all you have to do is tear down sign and bricks and place sign over existing pad to cover it. Brick bust up easy with sledgehammer. I see no reason why the pad would need to come up Also when you get quote...
  8. drywall primer paint and topcoat

    as Gino asked when was wall painted? Thats going to be your issue right there
  9. Securing 3mm PVC to Painted Wood

    IF you cant get away with 3mil pvc i would drill holes slightly larger than screws and start at top and do NOT screw all the way down. Come down halfway and do 2 more and then to bottom. I would not use any adhesive you want to "hang" this sign on the screws if that makes any sense
  10. Tips for a pattern on a windy day

    One thing we do with patterns is tape all the edges, this gives the patterns some strength with not tearing. Gorilla tape works great, I like the white as the heat will not affect it and let go like the black. We deal with intense heat in alabama. If you can BEAT that tape onto the surface...
  11. Why do you call lexel silicone?

    when you say silicone doesnt stick to crap, what crap are you referring to? I tried Lexel and Im not a fan, I will stick to silicone as it has never failed me. The ONLY time it failed was when there was a huge bad bacth released and you could tell as soon as it came out of the tube

  14. Question Artwork ownership

    Oh the irony! I am dealing with the Army Corps of Engineers also on a project in Bham and they also sent PDF (that were jpegs) and told me thats what they send to all their vendors and no one has had any issues. This project started in february of this year TO THIS DATE i still have no art I...
  15. Has the "Customization-of-Everything" produced a fussier client?

    I think humans are more exposed to EVERYTHING too often. more crap, more junk and more fonts and more bling. I hear a lot of "I saw this or I saw that and it looked cool." Its just like that stupid script font I absolutely despise...Bromella or whatever other 50 names it goes by. People see...
  16. New PC Specs i would need for Adobe Design Software

    DELL XPS systems IMO are the best hands down. get you a refurb or a used one. Mine is a little over 10 years old and it still is running great. I think it has the i4, which at the time was top gun. I do like the idea of not hooking your production pc to the web, that way there are no pointless...
  17. Question Artwork ownership

    Great timing for this post! I am doing a sign package for a fire station in a neighboring town and they sent me a public safety shield....a damn jpeg, of course. I have already redid 75% of this shield because I dont want crap on my signage. I have informed the fire cheif, and the construction...
