  1. Asphaltum Alternative for Gold Leaf?

    You could also use differing grades of gold from different suppliers. I have also found a different "brightness" level between patent (the wax paper one) and loose leaf. Also - most importantly - undercut - this will give you shading and definition. The deeper the undercut - the greater...
  2. Mini Cooper Wrap.

    Just a personal thing - not aimed at your work specifically - I HATE WRAPS !!!! So there.... I said it lol..... I have outed myself..... I think I have seen maybe 2 in the whole time they have been around that actually work and look good. Most are cluttered, stacked with chit that makes...
  3. Asphaltum Alternative for Gold Leaf?

    Why not raise (with say MagicSculp[Abracadabra]) or chip into (Dremel or chisels) BEFORE sizing and gilding? Just curious and you get EXACTLY the detail you are after. Cheers - G

    Hand paint it !!!!!!!!!
  5. Logos, Designs, Signs - a perspective

    colour / color, specialise / specialize Tomato / tomatoe LOL... good thing the intent doesn't change. Cheers - G
  6. Logos, Designs, Signs - a perspective

    There have always been those that can create a design and hit the mark or close to it - each and every time. We can't help but admire those blessed with such talent. Lately there has been a lot of talk on the forums about design and even suggestions to " leave it to the professionals ". In...
  7. Give Up Hire a Professional

    Just because you can play a guitar doesn't make you a musician.
  8. Starting a new business

    What the hell.... Grow some balls, put it ALL on the line, don't do it "part time" - be like the rest of us and make hay while the sun shines and when your next job is finished - you're unemployed again. That's what real sign people do each and every day. That's what makes us strive to...
  9. System 32 Virus anyone?

    Hi Jill and in fact all. I had a Trojan that Malwarebytes, McAfee and a few others could not remove. It was the Google redirect and had actually got into the system when booting up, so it came up EVERY TIME. The best I have found so far is Hit Man Pro. 30 Day trial - fully functioning...
  10. Dumb move...paint won't dry.

    Mike Paul +1 Get it into the smallest room possible, place a fan side on - NOT front on and put some heaters into it. Just be careful to keep it on there right up to the last minute. You need to dry from top down. Chances are if you don't, as soon as you put it out in the cold, the under...
  11. Cheap Vinyl Shrinking

    "Sorry I used to be part of one of "those" shops but I'm working on it." At least you admit it. In many many moons time you will be considered a dinosaur but you will be able to freely state "ask how I know" to all the newcomers. It's called experience. Cheers - G
  12. Logo Critique

    Also.... fix the dot above the first "i" - it's out of alignment.
  13. Logo Critique

    If allowed, switch the "Bookkeeping" and "Tax" around, moving them up sitting between the natural negative space the characters have created. Cheers - G
  14. Another What Would You Do moment....

    I am with GG on this one. At the end of the day Pat you are currently in the possession of stolen property. No matter how they came about being in whoever's possession. You KNOW that they were stolen originally from YOUR client, and as such remain stolen, no matter how many hands they pass...
  15. Sign Survey

    This is basically a "what would you do" situation. If there was an open check book, what would you do to the business, how would you best promote it and how would your "vision" assist them in promoting the business / brand. Often people just slap some signs up as opposed to painting the...
  16. Installation

    "wrap" a cloth strip - much like a standard bandage - around the poles, at least 4 - 6 times, then metal straps with a piece of holed steel between. The "bandage will stop marring the existing paint and give good grip. Simply secure the bottom of the banners to the metal strip using bungee...
  17. hand painted banner

    @ Mosh: "Or are you one of those people stuck in the 70's thinking anything that comes out of a computer is crap?" You don't have to be stuck in any era to think anything that comes out of a computer is crap. Garbage in - Garbage out. It comes down to design. There a very bad hand painted...
  18. New Partial completed, first time using the new Avery

    Good job... glad it was you... I can't be too hard up, even $2000 clear would not see me doing this. Rather be watching TV.
  19. Willysphere...are they in your toolbox?

    Me wonders what it would be like lined with sandpaper and taking to a piece of HDU... apart from the obvious hard work
  20. club banner

    Not bad at all. The only criticism I would have is readability - @ 6 x 4 - quite large. Hope it's not for passing vehicular traffic. Foot traffic yes - but at speed probably could have done with a looser kerning and dropped a few gradients out of the characters. Cheers - G
