"Fact is we gave the client what they wanted, signs up with no metal fastener's. The signs are holding, client happy and we received payment. I'll monitor the jobsite checking the status of these signs and I WILL continue to offer this method to clients with similar projects. Large signs, yes...

It's terrible. No excuses, free shipping or whatever. Pat Whately makes some very valid points. I suggest you sit done AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER with pencil and paper and draw four - six very different designs. Think style, emotion, feeling, longevity, simplicity / complexity. Choose the one...

That icon looks very familiar.... Who's influenced by who?

So show us your 30 variations and we'll show you ours

So long as you move the rollers in slightly (for error), even if the vinyl runs "crooked", the stripes will still be cut evenly Cheers - G

Several things: I would increase his prices, to cover the risk. It also depends on what the layout costs to you are. YES you have to get paid but sometimes a $2000 job requires only an outlay of $250. The rest is time and profit. YES it's nice to get the $$$ in to pay bills, but the guy is...

Lemon juice. Place on the stain, leave for a while, daub off. Repeat until gone. I had a well rusted stain in the carpet of my boat where someone left an anchor. I bought it second hand so have no idea how long it was there, but half an hour later - all gone. Cheers - G

LOL... just looked at someone else's screenshot. Switching between four other programs where they use different terminology. Goddam I understand it all. NOW THAT'S SCARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess I best share the concept with Mr Beam.

Good to see use of LHF... and the "pop" that it can bring... great stuff... now lets see them as a "corporate branding" on vinyl, paint, routered, embroidered. Get my drift? Cheers - G

Definately hand carved, hand painted. Not routered. Most likely Spring Valley Signs. Spring Valley was a part of a religous organisation which comprised: Sannerz in Denmark. Clover Signs in UK Spring Valley Signs in NY and PA Danthonia in Australia All excepting Danthonia have...

YES !!!! There are some things you CAN do - all at a cost. 1) If the substrate is thick enough, plane face 3 grades paper - heavy, light, ultra light then polish. Should cost more than $100 though. Offer no warranty. 2) Use as is - placing a high grade clear on the back. Offer no...

Variation on a theme I guess...

Squares can be just "slapped on" - nothing wrong with that... but if that's the case... go more formal with the text Cheers - G

OK... so here is a weird one. Wet a couple down... to paper mache consistency. Put them in a 12" tub and "squash" down evenly. Let dry. You now have a quite thin "slab". Put them aside. Next time you need a post structure installed, put them in bottom of the hole as "levellers" so both...

It works. That's what a sign is supposed to do. Excellent design, layout and execution. Pump out that chest. Cheers - G

Two points: 1) miscomunication on whoever's side 2) problem still exists - no matter what was EXPECTED. Whoever is at fault - come to an amicable agreement as to a mutual outcome. "They are good customers of mine and I don't want this to ruin the relationship". If they are that...

No disrespect but I think this is a shallow and no result question. Good example - the US is a big place with lotsa critters in lotsa areas that do design work. Many demographics and geographics influence the socio economics of achieveable outcomes in terms of $$$. To what degree in terms of...

You might want to try this: http://www.adobe.com/products/kuler/ From Adobe and probably the most comprehensive I have found... and actually use. Cheers - G

Doug do the right thing and rip it off... but then the client may be happy not to. I would get a waiver saying that if the new wrap fails due to previous liner - "your fault" Either way I would not warrant past 6 - 12 months, Probably only warrant the new print anyway. Cheers - G

The other thing you have to be cautious about is this: When people talk about 3D - they COULD be talking about 3D animation or 3D realism - on a screen - for example in a gaming environment where rotations cast and move shadows etc. Take a lightening strike for example - looks 3D but will be...
