All I have is a very crude sketch on what I based my rough idea on, it's a clothes shop and the shape of the sign. I have used what the client has supplied. This isn't the direction I would have taken, seems a bit strange with hearts, bows and CND symbols but that's what they said. As a...

Hi Gypsy I have been commisioned to make a sign fit a space! Yes I know I hate working into a set dimension but this is a real old building and the sign is not adjustable in size or shape due to it being in a conservation area! This is the complete advertising space of the shop. As far as I know...

Jill That looks real good. I'm gonna talk her out of the CND logos as it would look stupid. I had this and about 3 others that I had already started to finish this weekend. Just went blank. Thank You soooo much SC

Hee Hee Hee Most vinyl monkees who buy a plotter haven't a clue on layout or typefaces. Brush Script rules and squash them layouts so everything just looks like a barcode. SC

Hell I've been in this business 27 years and I have all the equipment, training and space to do Wraps but have a huge problem.... No one round here is either willing or able financially to pay for a wrap. Many customers want a full or partial wrap but when they find out the costs they shy away...

If anyone could help me on this one as I am back staring blankley at a computer screen!!!! I need something by 10am Monday!!! I hate been given a deadline by customers as it doesn't help my designing juices!!! Thanks SC

Yes, yes and yes everything is wrong about this job. The colours are silver,red and black. i have sat in front of a computer for over 2 hours crying at this. The client gave me a sketch of what she wanted but it looks like a collection of about 6 typefaces! What I have made is something based...

Well here we go New Year New Businesses. This one came in and I have designed it as they specified. Colours, Hearts, CND logos and Bow. But I hate it and have drawn a blank with the limited space and design. Can anyone help or even inspire me a little. Don't laugh at the name!!! Thanks SC

Toooooo much stuff on that one. I thought my work vehicle was busy but that has just beat it by miles. SC

As jfiscus said "something this simple" should be easy. If you can't do something this easy you are in the wrong job. Maybe DrJ2Vinyl was trying to create this using his Cricut onto a 10'x5' and couldn't find the correct button to press!!! .....LOL SC

Signage It's a bit late I think he has already done this and then publicly announced it on a open forum!!!!! I think he has gone into hiding.....LOL SC

Yes he pays tax he should know how cash and tax don't work together!!! SC

Get the customer to repaint the rear. You are a signmaker not a painter. Each to his own job. Don't try to sort it yourself as you will end out of pocket. You need a smooth non porrous surface or the adhesive will fail. SC

Oh dear. It is a water based printer which needs special substrate and if it has to last anytime at all has to be overlaminated. These are great for printing internal posters but most certainly are not up to the job of printing external stickers. This machine was not built to make stickers or...

Screeeeaaaammm............. I have this of clients at least twice a week. They send you a sh***y raster file, so you ask for a vector. They ask in what format and you tell them "AI, EPS or PDF" This is always what you get back the same raster file inside one of the above files!!!!!! I have...

Their is a car dealer across the way from us that bought a chinese plotter and started plastering his car in vinyl. It was always soooo funny going past seeing lettering going over handles and round on to tailgates and bonnets (hoods). And some of the strangest colour combinations ever. such as...

We get these clients in all the time. Even though they charge Tax themselves they don't want to pay it when they buy something. Show them the door... You really don't need custom like this. We have just had a tax rise of 2.5% in the UK putting tax up to an all time high of 20%. Since...

I worked for a company who employed a designer and he admitted their was "nothing like a new idea"!!! He would come in on Monday morning armed with about half a dozen magazines that he purchased over the weekend to steal/alter ideas of. I did a weird thing about 5 years ago were my work partner...

I am going to charge more........ I'm not going to change anything else this year as I always start the year with a list of goals and I haven't seen me meet any of them by the end. I've put of the increasing cost of supplies and with the impending VAT increase in the UK from tomorrow things are...

Have you used wrap material on what is basically flat panels? I realise there are dome fixings on the panels but to be quite honest I have found that wrap material doesn't stay put on them anyway. Just seem bit excessive using wrap material. Great design..... How does a plumber have his vehicle...
