Thanks Greg - the document grid kind of works, but I can't get the grid fine enough to show the white text boxes clearly. No matter, I'll submit to to the ID feature request site.

There must be a setting to toggle the page colour for this very problem...? Ya, I could but it's a bit of a faff...

I'm editing some white text on an InDesign master, and can't find a way to easily do it, as the master page background is also white. Illustrator has the 'transparency grid' which really helps. Any ideas? (yes I could put a box behind the text, edit, then delete it, but that seems like a clunky...

Hi all. Been away for a while as a lot of work found its way to me, and you can't say no, eh? I'm planning on updating my website soon and considering a redesign. I'm currently using Rapidweaver and a template I built myself using CSS & HTML, back when I was teaching myself this stuff. The...

I'm self employed, I can't such frivolities as card holders.

I was actually thinking this the other day. I keep a few in my wallet, and after a few months they're in remarkably good condition, despite being in a vulnerable position. So, worry not, the sandwich is well and truly stuck together!

Jenny usually climbs on a Monday night, I'll give you a tweet when we're heading over next.

I'll keep an eye out for you, Jenny (my fiancé) climbs at Ibrox. She sometimes sweet-talks me into being her belay bitch if her pals aren't around!

At nearly 34 I don't think a passion for typography or design is something that will go away anytime soon! Not sure yet, still mulling it over. I'm thinking classic type. How are you finding Ayreshire?

Ah! It was an ampersand! I won't say any more until I'm happy with a design...

I've been thinking about getting one for a few years now and have something in mind. Does anyone have a typographical tattoo, or a type inspired one? Maybe you've designed one using a specific typeface!

Really, nice work! I'll have the pleasure to design mine for next year - can't wait to get started!

Hi iSimon Can you post up your own brief for this monogram? 'Better' is quite subjective, and without knowing what it's standing for makes any feedback virtually useless. On the face of it I like 1's 'K' but not the crashing of the 'S'. 2's 'S' looks all wonky and a bit awkward compared with...

Not really for free, as part of the way you work copyright is transferred when they've paid the bill. I think they would see you as more professional, and acting in their best interest. Maybe in the future you can build the 'copyright fee' into your prices so there's no nasty surprises down the...
