Bless you for calling it a typeface, and not using the "f" word...I hate the "f" word. PS My bro had a Honda 50 like the one in your avatar...that was one sweet little bike...built like a tank and ran forever. JB

They mention source code was stolen, but what about customers project files that were also stored on the cloud? JB

If you check your bank account and find that somebody has ordered ten copies of Corel X6, then you should be worried. In the meanwhile, the threat is truly legit. I went to Adobe's home page to verify (because I never follow links in an email...even if it looks "official"). JB

Did anybody else get this email today? The email address appears legit, but I did not follow any of the links. I can't find anything about it on Adobe's web site, so I'm a little suspicious even though it looks plausible. Jim UPDATE 8:07 am 10/4/13: Yep it's legit. It's under the...

I don't want to diss the entire telephone book because they're a good company, and the historical photo on the cover is top notch. I only wish they would have done something more elegant to enhance the theme. JB

Ampersands are unique unto themselves, and I really like them. Over the years, I've seen wonderful examples of how they can take on a life of their own, and really dress up an image. Along with the good, I've also seen bad. But I've never seen such a hideous case as this one. This...

That was my intent, but your idea helps solidify the concept. Thanks, Jim

John B. inspired an idea on a previous thread that prompts a new question. Maybe you've thought about it...or perhaps not. But assuming you request a traditional (or green) burial, how would you design your headstone? To be honest, I haven't seen any real "head turners" in the cemetery...

Well done, John...very well done. You've inspired me to start a new thread. JB

Our main business is monument engraving and color is my "handicap". I've always heard that if it works in B & W, it should work in color. I'd be interested in some color ideas. JB

The forum thumbnail view of the first photo incorporates a border around the photo, and I thought it might look appealing on the logo itself.

Just a quick throw-together...up for a little constructive snarkicism. But only board-certified snarkologists are permitted to comment. Swear words must contain no more than four letters, or begin with the letters A,S,P,F or Q. Client does audio /visual services for local events, along...

It would be nice if every college degree included a minimum of two semesters of entrepreneurial training. There's nothing more shameful than stuffing a head full of knowledge only to see it get used at the local checkout stand.

I think the first thing you need to do is to nail down your definition of "success", and whether or not the franchise will get you there. And while some people find franchises to be a good thing, others may find them to be restricting. I personally tend to lean toward the "dreamer & innovator"...

Ok...so after a much needed visit to the chiropractor today, I'm now in the market for some brand new ideas concerning my office chair and desk. After discovering the benefits of doing back exercises on a Swiss ball, I learned that the balls are also used for office chairs. So I get on...

Yep...that's what I was going to say. I can't share the font, but if you want I can type the alphabet and convert to curves so you can "piece" it together...it sure beats tracing. If you know how to use a font editor, you can make your own from the file. We also do date cutting / monument...

Hmmm.... I had a friend ask me if I could open a native .AI CS6 file in Corel X6. So...I tried it...and it works. And it gets even better. All the formatting (art boards, etc) was identical, and the native (unformatted: no arc, wave, etc...) text was still editable in Corel. I only...

I always use the largest item (of known size) in the photo. Your measurements will be more accurate when you scale from larger objects, rather than something small. I use Illustrator, and I have a template art board that has several rectangles of the most common sizes we use. It also...

And you might just as well throw in another 33% for our favorite uncle while you're at it.

Welcome from Michigan. From one "trep" to another, I would suggest you hit the pavement and begin your marketing campaign in your own back yard and then move onward from that. How's your business plan? I tried to go for years without one, and it's not the easiest....seriously, it can be...
