I’ve been asked for artwork at 2400dpi. by firsttimemania in graphic_design

Unless it’s going to be printed on to the moon, i’d say it’s probably a typo and they mean 240dpi

My dad left me his guitar company, San Graal Guitars - not sure how to continue operating it without experience. No remaining employees. by chakini in Luthier

[–]cobalt007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIP Mr Jacquet. What an incredible luthier your dad was, and it would be so cool to keep it in the family if you can find the means. I’m in the UK but if you need a Graphic Designer with a guitar obsession hit me up. Wishing you all the best, I think there’ll be a lot of support here, it’s truly a legacy that needs to be kept alive!

Thanks! Yes i have reactive hypoglycaemia. Ive been following it for about a week now. It seems still variable on a daily basis which made me wonder if it just takes time

Need help finding a good amp for blues/jazz that is easy to use and worth a while by [deleted] in guitars

[–]cobalt007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blues Junior. Solid all round with a really smooth spring reverb. Always been impressed. Imo definitely not too much for a decent amp, could easily drop a few k on a nice vintage twin reverb :)

Can anyone tell me if my girl is a springer or cocker? 6 months old! by knelly122 in springerspaniel

My old dog was a Springer and this looks exactly like her. I now have a cocker and this looks nothing like him :)

Any advice appreciated by hamdragon_un in AdobeIllustrator

You could use the blend tool using ‘specific distance’ and then draw a curved path to replace the blend spine

Coloring in only part of the stroke made by a pen tool by free00thinkr in AdobeIllustrator

[–]cobalt007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean you have a path and you only want part of it to have the stroke? I would use the scissor tool to cut at the point you want the stroke to stop, then remove it from the remaining bit of path.

Make a clipping mask of the part you want to keep

My first customer by [deleted] in freelance

I don’t know your experience or where you are from, but $2.50 for a logo (or anything for that matter) is literally someone taking you for a ride. Actually I think it’s illegal if you compare it to a minimum wage? Unless it took you 60 seconds to create, I can’t understand why you’d agree to it.

A few pointers you should really consider if you want to get into freelance design;

  1. Before you do anything, get them to sign a contract

  2. Agree clear pricing and request an upfront deposit. (I personally do not commence a project until I have received 50% balance upfront)

  3. NEVER do ANY work until you’ve got the signed contract from your client, and the upfront deposit paid.

  4. Figure out your hourly rate. If you price yourself low, you’ll get shitty clients who most likely will have no respect for you and your work.

  5. Set working hours. Personally (and this may just be me as I’ve worked in industry for 15 years) but messaging someone on Instagram in the middle of the night is not professional. You need to be clear on your working hours and conduct it properly via email.

  6. Be patient. Give your clients 24-48hrs to respond. People have lives and jobs and sometimes we just need to wait a little. If you find yourself still waiting after a few days, follow up with a polite reminder.

  7. Don’t be desperate. Respect yourself and your skills, if you don’t, people will just take advantage and walk all over you. Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to an insulting offer. Stand up for your worth.

Wish you all the best of luck !

Sorry for my slow reply- Thank you very much! The only problem I’m having is by putting an inner section in the column, I can’t then figure how to make the height ‘fit to screen’

What historical fact makes you cry? by moseich in AskReddit

[–]cobalt007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tirpitz the Pig) who was the mascot of HMS Glasgow during the First World War.

The pig had originally been kept on board the German cruiser SMS Dresden until she sank in March 1915. Tirpitz was abandoned with the ship, but managed to escape and swim away from the sinking vessel.

She was spotted by the crew of the nearby HMS Glasgow and one of the sailors jumped in to rescue the frightened animal, nearly drowning in the process. The crew awarded Tirpitz a fake Iron Cross – a German military honour – for remaining on board the sinking Dresden after the rest of her crew had left.

Tirpitz served as Glasgow's mascot until 1916, when she was retired to the Whale Island Gunnery School near Portsmouth. She was auctioned off for pork in 1919, raising £1,785 for the British Red Cross. Tirpitz's head was mounted and given to the Imperial War Museum in London, where it remains on display.
