I'm hoping this latest market rout in oil doesn't send things back to times similar to the boom-then-bust conditions the oil patch in West Texas and New Mexico saw in the 1980's. People elsewhere in the nation were enjoying gasoline at under $1 per gallon. But times were tough in the oil...

That big price drop is due to the sudden collapse of the "OPEC+" group, not anything to do with the novel coronavirus. The Russians didn't want to go along with the Saudi Arabia's calls for deeper production cuts to stabilize prices. So the Saudis said "screw it," dissolved the pact and turned...

We're still pretty busy here in Oklahoma. Knock on wood. We did have one confirmed COVID-19 case in Tulsa. Hopefully the numbers of coronavirus infections will stay low. Still the various precautions now being taken could have consequences. The SXSW festival in Austin was cancelled, which is a...

Recently another further update of Windows removed any Type 1 fonts I had installed directly in the OS on my work desktop. Strangely my personal notebook at home still has a number of Type 1 families installed. Both machines are running Win 10 Pro. On the work desktop computer I tried...

ITC Blaze has a couple different variants where some characters, like that lowercase "p" change based on the vendor distributing the typeface. I still can't figure out the font used on "OF." It's like pulling teeth to get the client to send us better artwork (preferably vector-based artwork).

The artboard size thing is an off topic sidebar. And really this whole Adobe thing is an OFF TOPIC SIDEBAR because the original discussion was about Corel's planned webinar next week. Not this cr@p you've trolled repeatedly way too many times already. We're the only two people here discussing...

We usually skip the ISA show when it's in Orlando. The one in Las Vegas is more fun. And the deals for hotels, air flights and other trip aspects are better. The Orlando area can be a rip off.

Bull$#!+. You coupled the "if it's that simple" complaint with your repeated criticism of Adobe not improving Illustrator's maximum size limits of its art boards. That put the comment in the technical context of application development, not the marketing context of trying to please fanboys...

Did I suggest it was simple for Adobe to port a full version of Photoshop onto the iPad platform? No. I said the efforts are a waste of time. I think Adobe would do better to improve their existing Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw apps for iOS. Illustrator's maximum size limits for art...

I don't take a blanket approach to designing vehicle wraps or anything big involving large format digital printed output. It all comes down to the nature of what's in the image. I've done plenty of vehicle graphics jobs entirely within CorelDRAW. I've done others where the finished layout was an...

I've seen one price hike from $49.99 to $53.99. What is this "price hikes of double" claim about? No. We're not "embracing semantics" at all. Adobe was very clear up front about Ps for the iPad being a "work in progress," that not every feature from the desktop would make it onto the iPad...

Linking placed images in Illustrator is usually better than embedding. But the downside is the user needs to be organized at naming files and folders. A lot of people are just lazy about that. And that goes regardless of computing platform. Sometimes embedding all assets can be easier if that...

This is kind of a tough one. I need a little help trying to ID the typeface used for the "OF" in the attached "Ray of Hope" image. I already know ITC Blaze was used for the "Ray" and "Hope" letters. The "OF" is the problem. It looks kind of familiar, but the image is pretty small. The "F" seems...

Most of the "push back" those companies have received in response to their shift to subscription models is a whole lot of verbal complaints online but very little in the way of action. Adobe certainly hasn't suffered a net loss of users with their switch to the subscription-only model. With...

The downside risks of a subscription-only arrangement are greater with Corel than they are with Adobe. CorelDRAW is the only "tent pole" application Corel has in its collection. Unlike Adobe they have no other major applications to leverage in a subscription system. And even CorelDRAW itself is...

Sticking with X5 is going to have its own hazards, like trying to install it on a brand new PC running the latest version of Windows. Several years ago I thought X5 was a pretty good, stable version. But then a Windows update (if I remember correctly I think it was a big update to Windows 8.1)...

You might have skipped over the extremely important part of my post where the person asking for the graphics had to be EMPLOYED DIRECTLY somehow by that company. You're insulting my intelligence by assuming our sign company would ever do something like sell Harley-Davidson graphics to someone...

Disaster averted then.:D

Breaking out some extra folding chairs and setting them up in the back in this case means installing more servers and getting more bandwidth for the webinar broadcast. I doubt if they're going to do that.

Pretty good page and lots of funny comments here: https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_logo_for_bmw.php I agree with those who say it looks like something is missing with the black background eliminated. I kind of wish the "BMW" letters would curve along with the lines in...
