Shield / Collegiate Logo Inspiration Feb 7, 13, 1:47 p.m.

I have a client looking for a logo and the inspiration is both the shield look and the collegiate look. I'm looking for some more inspiration to gather. They don't want it to look old or classic like some collegiate logos can.

A couple inspiration pieces they sent me were:

Thanks folks.

Baja 1000 Nov 9, 12, 11:35 a.m.

Anyone else going to Chase or Spectate for the Baja 1000 next week? I will be down in Ensenada on Wednesday and then driving south to the Bay of LA and all the way to La Paz.

If you're headed down there let's go grab a beer in Paris de Noche.

Custom Hangtag Ideas Aug 14, 12, 8:41 p.m.

So i have to produce about 300 custom hangtags for a collectors edition bike frameset coming out. The frame and fork are chrome plated and come in a white box which is nicely designed. I am having a hard time coming up with ideas as to what I could do to hand do these hangtags. There are only 300 total, so the thought of printing them is not what I want to do. My first thought was to do matte medium transfers on some metal pieces (about 2" x 3.5") but i don't want the metal to rub against the frame and cause scratches.

I am feeling like my only option is something with paper but it's the way i produce it that is making me feel stuck. I want the hand-made feel without it looking so shabby-chic-ish. It needs to look industrial but still be known that there was some form of hand touch.

Anyone with any thoughts or ideas?

Recommend an Audiobook Nov 28, 11, 9:52 p.m.

So I have a new job where I am on the road about 35 minutes each way to and from work. I would like to buy some audiobooks to listen to instead of always relying on music.

Here are some books I have read and loved:
Electro kool-aid acid test
Catcher in the eye
Communist manifesto
Some book about a guy who infiltrated the mongols motorcycle gang - cant remember the name

Anyone have any ideas for me?

Photoshop CS4 Question Nov 16, 11, 1:27 p.m.

I'm on a Mac running CS4 and for some reason all my menus are coming up without everything listed. The bottom item on each menu says

"Show All Menu Items"

I want it to show them all the time. Is this something I can change? I can't find anything in the preferences.

Thanks.

Illustrator Question Nov 13, 11, 5 p.m.

I want to take this graphic and make it so that I can have it follow a path of type. I feel like I should know this, but I am not getting it right. Anyone with any recommendations? It is vector art, so I can break it up.

View Camera Equipment Oct 11, 11, 9:51 a.m.

Hey all,
I have a friend who is unloading his view camera equipment for really cheap. Here is a list of what he has. Let me know if you have any interest.

Here is a shot of the large format stuff I have had in boxes. I did some dusting. Most was kept wrapped in plastic but some time with a compressor would be great. It pains me to see it go so I am hoping to find these bits a home where they can get out and shoot.

• Cambo 4X5 with fresnel rotating back
• Arca Swiss 8X10 including bag belows and rotating 4X5 back 9has small crack in glass at corner but still fine)
• 210mm Fujinon - L F5.6-64. Good shape
• 240mm Schneider-Kreuznach G Claron, F9-90. Lens is good but threads at front to attach filter are dinged. So it is “damaged, but works fine. Attach rings inside camera works fine.
• 300mm Nikkor - M, F9 - 128. Good.
• 2 padded lens bags.
• 3 additional lens boards in various Copal sizes - 1 Cambo and 2 Arca Swiss
• Sekonic Digi-lite F, Model 328. Plastic box holding dome is loose, but work perfectly
•X-Ray Proof bag for films etc, Lupe, Neutral density viewer, 2 way level, 2 shutter releases
•4X5 Polaroid Back
• 17 4X5 holders, 5 5X7 holders (strays), 2 8X10 holders
•Bogen 3036 HEAVY duty Tripod (needs clamp ring for mount at top
• Fliters 62mm - Soft FX(warm / portrait), yellow, orange, red, 72mm clear 81A
•Misc Stepping Rings
•Shroud
• 1 open and 1 new box of singles, open box is pretty full.
• 2 Nikon SC-17 flash cords and another 3’ cord to synch up to 3 flashes. I am happy to sell these separately as I know “some” people use Canon stuff :-)

Logo Survey Jul 21, 11, 12:52 p.m.

Just got this thing and am not sure what to make of it. I am not sure i like the way it would involve so many people. Projects with surveys like this would never get done.

Showing Catalog Work Jun 30, 11, 10:59 a.m.

So I have a ton of catalog work and was wondering if you had any good examples on how people display it in their portfolios. I guess I'm wondering if taking a photo of the catalog is best, or using a pdf spread to show certain pages.

Any examples would be appreciated.

I have InDesign CS4 and i am having a problem with my text box tabs snapping to odd measures. I want to drag them to a certain point, but they keep snapping. I am looking for this preference but can't find it to turn it off. Any ideas?
