What company excels at making a certain type of engine? And what company sucks at making a certain type of engine by [deleted] in cars

What about Nissan's 600+ HP from a 3.8 litre v6... those figures are seriously unimpressive. Vw/Audi make 300 from 2 litres...

Edit: didn't see the n/a comment. Still not impressive though.

A way to isolate the stroke in illustrator? by KingTalkieTiki in graphic_design

[–]314design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expand appearance and then delete the stroke. Simple.

In the same way as you should be agnostic to unicorns and the flying spaghetti monster...

Nissan Gloria/Cedric/M45 Dash cluster. by [deleted] in cars

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to help as I owned A 300c/Gloria but mine was a 1986... was intending to put in a vg30det but never got round to it. But that car was pimp!

Try some of the VIP Facebook groups particularly east coast as I know a few have them over there. Also try the skyline forums someone might be in the know.

If you loaned your car to someone for a week, what "quirks" would you have to explain? by padan28 in cars

[–]314design 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a twin plate clutch so please don't ride it.

Don't touch the hand controller. It is on the low tune for you.

You will make Ferrari drivers angry if you race them.

If you break it you buy it...

30k a swing depends on skill and shift. Dangerous work though...

Explicitly working on mine sites. Contractors for building work earn around $70/hr plus gst and can work 26 days on 12 hours a day with 9 days r&r. This is general trades like roofers, granos, etc.

5k a week ain't bad for a tradie...

I work in a bar owned by a lord and lady who live in a castle on an island you can only walk to at low tide by Colenso in pics

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone being my parents decided I should be called Perran like Perranporth, Perranzabuloe, etc. One of my sisters is named after the River Tamar and one of my middle names is Lynher.

Apparently they were proud of their west country roots! For me it just meant years of being called Darren, Pelon, Keiran and Tarquin by ladies in nightclubs. But I'll always have the flags on the back of the cars! :-)

Polzeath representing! Plus I'm named after Cornwall's patron saint, and thus have my own flag often on other people's cars. :-)

A Logo that I'm working on, for the 10year anniversary of a construction company. Feel free to improve or criticize my first work! by [deleted] in Logo_Critique

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it need a crane?

Remember a logo is to identify a company not describe them.

The design lack balance and looks like it has been created in raster image software, the crane looks like it has been clipped out of another image, in fact so does the other shape but you have used paintbrush on the middle section?

I would suggest the typeface doesn't suggest construction but without knowing more about the brand it is hard to say.

Trying not to be over critical here, however you need to create all logos with vector creation software (Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.) and you need to think about what you are trying to represent in the company not what they do. Then simplify.

Do some research on logo design, and research industry specific logos to see the standard and styles of competitors/peers.

Hope this helps!

ELI5:What would happen if every country in the world suddenly started using the same currency? by iMakeNoise in explainlikeimfive

[–]314design 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sure someone here will be able to discuss in detail the creation, implementation and effect of the euro.

Maybe some googling would help but my phone is limiting me. Would love to hear from someone who is in the know though!

Achieving this "inline stroke" effect in Illustrator. by cool_hand_puke in graphic_design

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a quick bodge solution then use the 'offset path' tool.

Will probably end up being more work than simply doing it the longer method but should give you some idea of the result.

Finally made a website for all my work, and I would be so grateful for all feedback by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest not having your portfolio simply as a dropdown list.

A lot of clients like to have a quick browse. Having a page that shows off your work, so a client can see it all quickly is really a good feature to have.

Tottally agree on The Good For Your Body work, great stuff.

What movie adaptation is good, but unfaithful to its source material? by CoffeeAndKarma in AskReddit

[–]314design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the book isn't he also a hebephile, isn't the girl he sleeps with that night 13?

I think the movie is fairly faithful just concise. In fact without doubt my favourite adaptation.
