Here's a fine example of their design services pulled off of their website.

Phylis Diller has blonde hair, can't they get anything right?

 

[Pat Whatley]

You laugh....this is exactly where the design end of this business is going.

Domain name was created May 10, 2010....I would avoid.

 

[Gino]

Do they also make channel letters ??

 

[d fleming]

Damnit Gino I'm glad I wasn't taking a drink, would have had one heckuva mess to clean up:ROFLMAO:

What a shame! .40 for a clipping path??? I used to do a lot of this type of work and I was charging $65 per hour. Guess this is what the graphics business is turning into, it's a sad thing to see this happen.
I remember the days before computers were mainstream and making a path was a real art form! We would get the image on film and have to cut a rubylith silhouette with an exacto to create this. Now we can just outsource the file to another country and pay them .40 to get the same result. Some may call it progress but it saddens me to see this happen.

Looks like they are running around $1.20 an hour.

 

[The Vector Doctor]

I got their email too. They do work for $1.25 per hour. Yes you read that right. Outsourcing will turn this entire country into nothing more than consumers. No one will be working here

 

[The Vector Doctor]

Hmm.... are there other companies like this out there?

Based on their website it seems like a real company.....but really....who outsources their clipping mask work?!?

Many clipping masks are like vector work. I do them about 4-5 times per month. Not for $1.25 per hour though. Might as well go on welfare

No, someone will be working but they will not be doing anything productive! Everyone that has a job will be a middle man!

 

[signmeup]

I'm glad I can fall back on being skilled with my hands. They can't outsource fixing your car or building your deck.... or digging your ditch.....

I will have to agree with you there pancake king

 

[signmeup]

No, someone will be working but they will not be doing anything productive! Everyone that has a job will be a middle man!

On the contrary... the only thing left will be things that are productive. Like hoeing turnips.... if we don't outsource all our food production that is.....

 

[signmeup]

I'm glad I can fall back on being skilled with my hands. They can't outsource fixing your car or building your deck.... or digging your ditch.....

Actually.... they can. We import Mexican and Jamaican workers to work on the farms around here. The locals won't do it any more. If they can bring in the harvest, they can build a deck or fix a car.
(I'm argueing with myself....)

 

[signmeup]

We're screwed!

Lol that can be outsourced by our Home Depot border hopping buddies.

HAHAHAHAHA That is the best one yet :ROFLMAO: I loved her.

I would like to buy 10000. here is my stolen cc number

If you had a 100 page catalogue with every product closecropped and 10-20 products per page they could be a real time/money saver.

Back in the days before anybody offered alpha channel color selective masking we had to closecut a christmas tree for a major retailers christmas catalogue cover. It took three people over the course of 5 shifts to get it done. Essentially a weeks work when billed by the hour. Just for a single closecut image.
