is there anything these fuckers don't make? Right now I'm tempted to by a hand saw with a diamond blade. But I'm drunk so by the time I fund my credit card I'll have forgotten what I was looking for.

PC? Oct 31, 08, 7:41 a.m.

Font? Oct 28, 08, 2:31 a.m.

Saw the movie 'Vacancy' over the weekend, not a bad film but really liked the opening credits. Any idea what the font is, looks like Helvetica Bold compressed but not sure. Any thoughts?

I'm at one. Having dessert, waiting for toasts. Bored...

Bizarre little circle Sep 23, 08, 7:36 a.m.

We are redoing our stationery and getting everything foiled, no print. So we talk to a printer and ask them if its a job they'd do or if we should just talk to a finisher to handle the foiling. The printer (who we deal with on the bulk of our jobs) says deal direct with the finisher so I says ok, recommend one, but at first he just point blank refused.

I contact a finisher and get costs on foiling everything, ok, no worries.

I contact the paper suppliers in the uk (from whom we purchased all the stock for our last brochure) and they say that they now have a distributer in Ireland, go to them. So I do, but the irish distributer only sells to printers and they can't give me a quote. I can get samples but no prices and the finisher we are going to use deals directly with printers so doesn't deal with paper merchants.

So I've gotta contact the printer again, who isn't going to handle the job to order the paper, that'll get marked up so we can go to the finisher to do the job.

Logos Sep 18, 08, 4:51 a.m.

Hey all, looking for good examples of logos with word marks only, no additional symbols. Anyone have any good examples or links?

fuck Sep 8, 08, 12:15 p.m.

I'm sat in a conference room, 3 hours after I was due to finish, listening to a bunch of morons blather on about shite while I pretend to be interested when all I want to do is go home and have some dinner. Fuck clients.

hungover Aug 30, 08, 4:57 a.m.

Yes, yes I am. Too many coronas as I got killed endlessly playing gta 4. Now I have that fuzzy head, weird taste in my mouth and I gotta help a friend out with some work. Just hope that don't want it done properly.

Packaging Templates Aug 27, 08, 2:23 a.m.

Working on a project that requires us to mock up some packaging and take photographs. Looking for any keylines or templates for simple packaging ie, boxes, juice cartons etc. I know we can do up quick templates in Illy but if anyone has some it would really speed up the process!

Anyone have any or know of any resources? We have one of the packaging books but the CD is gone, lost during our studio move.
