If a customer comes to me from a franchise shop that is charging $10-12/sqft then I offer $8-9 and look like a bargain. If I showed him a price sheet I may have left money on the table. If he comes in and says the guy down the road will do it for $x.xx then I can decide if I want to match...

john/// You are right, but you can take steps in your regular course of business to make sure the customer understands that the art & file is a separate product and available for purchase in addition to whatever they are also buying. We try to make sure we offer to sell the art rights...

well, it turns out your sign was a pile of crap and didn't even last a decade and a half! I guess if he made it he could claim it in his portfolio. I would. I would post it as a "makeover" with the old beat up one next to the pristine new one. The real question... Whay didn't they...

Just use the same DMCA Take Down letter as Eric at Vector Dr. and send it to them and their web hosting company. Then twitter/facebook them into shame. Write an article for your blog about how your work is so good that even the competition wants to claim it is theirs. Then post the...

Custom built computers is a dead business... (no offense, Casey!) You gotta do lots of on-site services (networking, installation, wiring), bench repair, and probably retail virus clean up. Even then it is a tough slog. CRM consulting, SAP, PeopleSoft, Project management is where the...

Send them, and their hosting company a DMCA Take Down Letter http://ipwatchdog.com/2009/07/06/sample-dmca-take-down-letter/id=4501/

twitter them into oblivion. Social Media loves plaigarism stories.

Which one of you guys made this thing? http://consumerist.com/2010/12/robot-sign-spinners.html

i like the clock idea, we do lasered christmas ornaments with their logo or school mascot. (depending on what type of customer)

You guys only read what youwant to believe. Those referenced articles ignore known facts, one even says "there were no planes in the area". There were. UPS 902 from Hawaii. Look at the flightpath data plotted onto google earth. Then you can see that the flightpath matches pretty...

If some one brings you vinyl to cut then just tell them the cost of the job is mostly in equipment, software, labor, and overhead. No discount at all. They will leave. The people buying from them on Craigslist are the cricut cutters. They aren't coming to you anyway. No loss.

fix your spacing... text in white area too far right. Way too much padding. Text in gray box too tight to edge. Maybe move "christmas cantata" to the "Join us" line. Then make the 'Jesus is come" a little bigger. I think the gray box could be a pinch bigger. Think rule of thirds.

probably acrylic. check with a store fixtures supply house that sells slatwall stuff. A local plactics distributor would be able to connect you to a fabricator that could make them for you.

make your own spreadsheets and databases.

Dave... 5 different fonts and an old english one?? I like the art on the left and the bar going across but you suprised me with these font choices.

King James English, for example.. 1 John 4:2 It is just an arcane way about the english language popular with the Bible folks, especially the traditionalists clinging to the King James Translations. I doubt it says "Christ is come" in a dead sea scrolls era version of the story.

maybe you can restore the folder from a backup? You lose what you did today but get the rest of the folder back. Look in your temp folder for *.tmp files that are bigger than most... and the recent date. Rename them .AI (or whatever). I have recovered cdr's that way.

OK... here they are side by side.. Jill's layout... and Fredo's.

I don't think that it was exactly the godfather... but it felt that way! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
