  1. Got a really fun job, but how do I do it? Print on anodized aluminum?

    Thanks....Yeah, kinda stupid for me to take the job without knowing what the hell I am doing, but I just had to get it in my hands, I WILL figure it out, just got a lot of learning to do in the process. BTW, I have about 400 of these to print ( 2 sides each)
  2. Got a really fun job, but how do I do it? Print on anodized aluminum?

    I know a guy that works for a company that manufactures analog tapes (reels) and he contacted me a couple months ago about a possible job printing on the faces of these reels. This job in particular happens to be for Jack White of the White Stripes. I am really excited to be given this job, but...
  3. My new website built around wordpress

    I am building a similar site for my own business (based on wordpress) and was wondering if you created your own theme for this site and if so, what software did you use? I am currently experimenting with a program called Artisteer which makes it super-easy to make a wordpress theme, but find...
  4. Beer Brand Design

    I think you need a live model.... but it is already a beautiful design!!
  5. Versacamm knife skipping

    +1, I was pulling my hair out over this, had a huge order of decals that I printed/cut and cuts were bad on 75% of them (in tight corners like you), I started a thread on here and someone suggested the blade holder bearings had gone bad, replaced it (blade holder) and all was well.... replace...
  6. Apple "iSlate" tablet leaked

    I have been pondering the same thing, but think that this tablet will be less like an actual computer and more like an internet portal and media player. I have been a tablet fan for a while, and have been using a motion computing le1700 for a while now, not for illustration, but more for note...
  7. Pan faces

    when you say pan faces, I would assume that you are not talking about just a flat piece of polycarb, right? Because panned faces this size would also run about $450 from wensco. Flat polycarb would be half that price, depending on the thickness.
  8. Stock photo of Chicago style hot dog - where to find?

    John, thank you for this, I did find this same image and have already tried contacting the owner of it (Vienna Beef) and I am waiting to hear back from them. That is the perfect picture of a Chicago Dog. Getting permission to use a high-res copy of this I think will prove to be a difficult task...
  9. Stock photo of Chicago style hot dog - where to find?

    I have been scouring istockphoto and everything I find will need lots of editing in photoshop, or is not in the right position. I need a chicago dog in a straight horizzontal position. Any ideas? BTW for anyone who doesn't know, a Chicago Style Hot Dog is not just a hot dog with a bunch of...
  10. Pool graphics? Anyone try this?

    I would not want to try anything with vinyl graphics on a vinyl liner, what if the vinyl graphics shrink a little or the liner shrinks/expands and causes the area to pucker or worse tear the liner, I know those things are expensive... if it was like the one that Jason posted (which looks like a...
  11. Conan speaks up!!!!

    I love Conan, but agree that many just do not get his style of comedy. Leno=JOKE, cannot believe he was on TV for this long..... I think NBC can stick the Jay Leno Show right where it belongs and I hope that Conan takes a deal with another network and I will no longer have a SINGLE reason to...
  12. Question about the new Google Phone

    Google has branded this phone as the "Google Phone" but in reality, it is just a HTC Android phone, a really good one at that from what I have read. I just don't understand why Google is getting all of the credit on this, it is not their phone, just has their name stamped on it, just a ploy to...
  13. Sad Story, ideas on how I should help?

    Well I have so far printed 250 memorial decals, and printed a large photo of one of the boys to be used at his funeral. The other boy actually had no funeral arrangements made as of yesterday due to family not having the money, and the boy had actually been living with friends for the past year...
  14. Sad Story, ideas on how I should help?

    Here is the news article from this morning http://www.wndu.com/hometop/headlines/80761847.html This happened on my route home, on the same road as my shop just a couple miles down the road. My Dad had left the shop 5 minutes before all the sirens were flying past the shop, I immediately called...
  15. Sad Story, ideas on how I should help?

    A local high school student who is the leader of the school spirit group had placed an order for t-shirts a couple days ago, I had been working on this with him for a few weeks now. Last night, just before I left work, he and his friend died in a horrible car accident just down the street from...

    Ignore the drop shadow on the one side of the van, I decided to get rid of it.... but forgot to remove it on this image.
  17. Updating vehicle lettering design - input please

    Thank you all! Great suggestions! And Steve, I did that EXACT same thing in one of my proofs, but for some reason I wasn't feeling it. I sent a proof to the customer already with just one star as the dot in the "i", I was thinking the same thing Jill. Let me know what you think of the...
  18. Updating vehicle lettering design - input please

    I was thinking of actually incorporating 5 stars, otherwise it would seem to only be 1 star right? Thanks for the suggestion though
  19. Updating vehicle lettering design - input please

    This customer has had the current (before) design on his vans and signage for years. I did not design this, but have been reproducing these crappy graphics every time he gets a new van. I have hinted at a redesign a few times and he has not been interested because we usually do not have time and...
  20. LCD Monitor shuts off after 1 sec.

    It shows the correct display from the pc when it turns on for the brief second. It is not a problem with the pc as I have already hooked up a new monitor and it is working fine. Thanks for the replies, I might take it apart and clean it, I'm sure it is dusty as hell.
