Can I ask why the potential employer wants you? I don't really want to know your whole bio or see your portfolio, but why are they hiring and why did they approach you? Did they lose an employee, do they want to take you from the competition, are they busy and simply need someone else? Did...

To everyone.....THANK YOU!! Gary - I need to practice my pen tool. Thanks for the offer. Stacy - Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I had to take a couple of additional step but you got me going in the right direction. I get into Illy and want to Cmnd + click on the layer thumbnail to...

Greetings. I have a stock icon that I am attempting to print and cut (see pic). I'm much familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator is currently whipping me. So, the icon is several layers/objects, which are grouped but I'm not sure how to put a cut line around this group, to make a cut out of...

That sounds like the price for the 60" x 50 yard roll. I checked Advantage Sign Supply's website and the black 60" x 25 yard roll is around $610 while the 60" x 50 yard roll is just over $1K. Should be in the $1.40-$1.65 sq/ft price range. It comes ready to install and does not need laminate...

Titans fan here and I think I'll use this quote from Joe. They are playing well now and it is fun to watch Chris Johnson but I can't figure out why the Titans thought it would be good to start six games in the hole.

One other thing to add....if you go with Feller's you have no choice of the brand of printer, laminator, or cutter. On the cutter, you'll probably go with Graphtec anyway but you might want something other than Mutoh and Seal for your printer and laminator. There's nothing wrong with those...

Replicator - Thanks. I'm on here ever day but don't post a lot because I'm still a newbie. A good friend shared that PS "trick" with me and I use it a lot. You can try different colors, different feather sizes, and the size of your elliptical to create many different looks. You can also use...

I'm not 100% sure of your idea of haze/dreamy but I would almost take it as a white vignette (see pics). For this effect: 1. Chose Elliptical Marquee Tool (EMT) 2. Set Feather to 150px (may vary for image size but a good place to start) 3. Create a new layer 4. Drag the EMT crosshairs...

Good point Dan. I think it would safe to say that many start-up businesses spend money on equipment, shop/store space, etc...but don't spend money on promotional materials and advertising. MafiaWraps might have a different situation. Sounds like he runs a successful business doing window...

Here are my estimates for new equipment all in the 60"-64" ballpark (estimate prices, but you might find them lower): Printer (Mimaki, Roland, Epson, or Mutoh) = $20K (should come with RIP software) Laminator (Royal Sovereign RSC-1650H) = $6,500 Cutting Plotter (Graphtec FC8000-160) = $6,100...

As others have said, $3K isn't going to get you very far. Installing non-laminated vinyl isn't an option. Try it (as I did just to see) on a box truck, leave it for 24 hours, then try to remove......one tiny piece at a time. We started doing wraps with a Seiko Colorpainter 64S and a RS...

Fred - Thanks so much! I have Serpentine but it was not enable so I overlooked it. Ken - Thanks for adding some late night amusing comments. Allen

Any takers? Thanks.

A customer requested I add a 2010 calendar to the back of her business cards and I happened to come across Jim Degerstrom's website. He designed a basic calendar and is sharing it for free. I emailed him to make sure it was okay to share in my design work and he said as long as I'm not...

I couldn't agree more. Advantage has been great for our company as we've started in the business and the main reason is Jim. Allen

Thanks for keeping me in line Gino. :thumb:

I'm calling bull. Think about it for a minute....if you had a bulletproof glass/clear enclosure, you could mount a sign in that. For a "standard" sign, even if you had a self healing substrate, what about the vinyl or paint that is applied to it? Is there also a special 3M vinyl that self...

I think the Aurora Graphics catalog threw up on your truck. From the pics it looks like a clean installation. Not my style but thanks for sharing. I do think it's funny that you incorporated a personal pic of you "installing" the wrap. Allen

Nice job, it looks fine. Two things caught my eye. I can't easily read the phone number, is the last digit a 0?? With the fat font, text effect (color and texture), and location of the phone number over the seam of the storage door, I find it hard to read from a distance. The second is just...

Welcome from KY. Insignia is right on. I have CS3 at home and CS4 at work and for most things I do, there's not a huge difference (yes, the cosmetics are different). http://psd.tutsplus.com/ is a great site full of tutorials but if you need to know the difference in a polygonal lasso and the...
