Are All-Star baseball parents everywhere insane? yes. few years back I ended up making an obscene amount of round coroplast baseballs with the kids info on them so the parents could put them in the front yard/wherever. Crazy part ... most parents had multiple kids in baseball ... over 100 of...

I wish people would e-mail me once in a while. For tiny jobs it would cut out some of the time if I could form letter them ... sadly most want to spend about 15-20 minutes on the phone for a 3 minute call so mine is the exact opposite.

Whatever dude, I already said you're completely right. don't even know why you bothered to respond.

Whatever. You're right ... I can't sit there, invoice the customer while i'm still infront of him with a digital copy for their e-mail ... I can't show them previous work ... I can't PRINT a hard copy for myself later ... I can't work up a rough design before I leave with deposit in hand so...

:-\ ... orcal 751 is fine, 951 is better ... cut, mask, cut apart, apply, trim edges. there isn't anything special about the stripe, so it just comes down to taking your time and make sure you measure.

I am tired of the following: (on the phone) "here is my information, can you cut that and I will pick it up in a little while" (asking you that after you already told them you can't quote specifics over the phone and you don't blind cut or cut without person or deposit in shop) (after...

I really don't understand where your rage and fear at technology comes from. My spreadsheets I use go by linear feet of materials and will tell me my price, margin, man hours, everything for the job just by putting in the length or quantities of material which takes ... 30 seconds? Technology...

stuff works ... used some for floor graphics in a mall store few years back ... just make sure to overlap the laminate onto the floor itself by an inch or two and you should be fine.

Alright ... i missed that one ... for the love of science ... live trace is not that good. Inkscape uses an open source trace program that is about 10 times more accurate than live trace and you won't get any of the little chunky edges that live trace likes to throw out since it will literally...

The lambo is completely different than the fellers wrap ... the fellers wrap is just clipart florish elements thrown all together ... the lambo job was designed with every bit of that car in mind ... you can tell by how it outlines the handles, flows along the bottoms of the doors takes in to...

On my phone I have a spreadsheet app ... just make your own calculation doodad with spreadsheet since all you need to do is just throw the math into the appropriate fields and poof instant price/sq ft/man hour calculator.

Thanks Pat. Istock is a little too far and few between for dependability. the other might get a few if they want to put out for the cash. Largely I will probably just have to do it myself and make some that are easily modifiable (chick in tight jeans and boots vs chick in tight jeans...

that doesn't fix the butter face.

Looks great. When I normally have to do something tedius like illustrate a wire spoke wheel ... it's really just time to bust out the pen tool and go to town. for print it's as easy as just making a line with a decent stroke on it with rounded ends and looking at something in almost meticulous...

Wish i could help. I was looking for that one exactly like that on saturday. ended up just using Helvetica black and modifying out letters that didn't match manually. in the case of that one ... S, B, D and P will probably be your changes. rest probably will stay the same.

Thanks Jill, got plenty of silhouettes ... most want to see their eye candies boobs shown in some sort of detail. This is more a rant than anything else. Had 3 guys today that wanted some sort of "sexy lady" on their rigs but didn't have the time to wait a few days for me to draw and vector...

I swear, I get guys coming in all the time looking for a pinup on their vehicle, sometimes small, sometimes large. (graphics and/or girl) And for the love of science! Is there no decent vinyl ready pinups? They all have either congenital birth defects or butter faces with way too much...

http://www.nchsoftware.com/invoice/index.html ooo ... after looking at it ... i might buy this.

I don't know about that ... when I first started at this job ... they seemed to be the only people that came in and kept the sign shop part of the shop afloat for years (predecessor was a dink and had no business skills) ... at that time ... no real profits in the jobs they wanted ($5-20 bucks...

I do something similar. I have one with a watermark, one with a mini quote sheet on it and of course a simple one that just has terms, conditions and any notes to the sign (such as materials and the such.) it's designed around an 8.5x11 sheet so it's easy to print for a customer as a hard copy...
