Hello :) So my friend has started a printing business. He has said that he has a few clients who want design. They cannot provide this so he has said he will point the clients in my direction, as long as he gets the printing work. Great! But I am guessing I will need to give him a cut of what I...

Great! Thanks Levi :)

Hi everyone, I was looking at some brand guidelines the other day and the Pantone colours used for each brand. When picking a colour for your brand, do you start with the Pantone Book to find the colour you want? If this is correct and you find the colour you want, how should you go about...

I agree! If it hadn't have been for those who were more than happy to help, direct me to resources or actually take the time to show me how when I was Junior, I would've struggled! And now I'm in a position to help others who are where I was! Pass on the knowledge in my opinion :)

I read something once - Never be afraid to hire someone better than you! And I've always completely agreed with this statement. I know an MD who "knows it all", and is too afraid to let the experts do their job. I don't understand why they are such control freaks. In my experience, it always...

LOL! Wow.... some things you just can't un-see :p

Yes - I wouldn't go much smaller than 8pt, but I've seen templates for BC's with fonts as small as 6pt. Barely legible once printed I'm sure.

This type of competing for a job drives me crazy. But as Alex says, as long as he is paying you. Some designers outline some conditions. For example, I tell my clients they get 3 concepts, 3 revisions for their chosen concept, and any further revisions are chargeable. I do this only because...

I know this and I completely agree. But what can you do.... I love film, but I'll be the first to admit I don't know a thing about how it's made. I'll just do my best and hope for the best. Thanks for the info on lighting.

Hello :) So my boss has asked me (GRAPHIC designer) to make a video. Its short and I'm a basic Premiere Pro user. I've only got what equipment we have here to use. We've got fluro lights and 2 softboxes, and white backround. Can anyone advise how I can enhance the white backround in...

Thanks everyone. That's really helpful :) I've been look at some BC designs online and some of the text seems really small. Thanks for your input.

Yes it is a bit small. Thanks :)

Hey all, I would be interested to know what the most common font size is used on business cards I use 8pt, mostly. I'm curious to see if there is a standard for most. Thanks :D

It kind of reminds me of small French Cafe. Maybe because of the way the handle curls round. For me, it's hard to say whether this design is right or wrong because there's not much info on the business for anyone to say whether these logos are fit for purpose. Has your friend given you a brief...

They're simple, but simple is often the result of a very thought out process, and I can't say this is one of those. Do you have an original design you presented to him? :)
