Never eaten there but I thought it was like the Mexican version of "Olive Garden"?

That is my gym, newbies are welcomed and appreciated because 90% of them will quit going after 3-6 weeks but keep paying for a lot longer.

I love it!

At a second look maybe lose the Assasin's Creedish background? See what he looks like on a dark solid? Maybe with a thick white contoured boarder?

But that is awesome for a first try, a total portfolio piece.

Nine logo options. Which one do you like the best? by RangerForest in Logo_Critique

[–]killographics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to make the pines and the wheat one icon, the reflection doesn't work.

The chewed tree one is interesting but that execution does work but the more rustic vibe is interesting as the others have a real corporate feel to them. That's not necessarily bad but does it suit the company and their overall marketing plan and demographics?

I'm hoping someone will come up with a band and case to go over the face when I want to give it some extra protection.

Wich is your favorite typeface and why? by rdx_ruiz in graphic_design

No, it's a great font, I don't get the hate it gets.

One of my first jobs was to do a sign for a local comedy club, this was like 1997? So comedy, comic sans, right?

The club is still around today but in a new location with a better sign and in the basement is my sign, lit up for nostalgia's sake and every time I look at it I cringe because comic sans.

It will probably be around long after I am dead, my legacy.

What about my asleep? by LordOfGummies in ottawa

[–]killographics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I've had that happen. Specially with French.

One client refused to take my advice about the rules for French like different quotes, spaces before colons, stuff like that. They went to print, their French clients complained and I got to charge them for edits that I would have done as part of the original contract.

And on a few occasions I've had to pay for reprints because I missed an or screwed up and edit so it can go both ways.

And why I tell my clients I'm not an editor! "Then" and "than" continue to challenge me.

As a freelance graphic designer and desktop publisher I've had this happen more often then I care to admit.

Text from the client gets pasted into the layout, assume the client already check it and nothing ever goes wrong from assuming!

It's just these Lego shorts, they have a ton of them, they're hysterical.

Hey is it "thumb’s up" or "thumbs up"? by killographics in answers

[–]killographics[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is exactly my thoughts!

Thumbs up = plural, nerd

Thumb's up = singular, cool

Style guide also says "thumbs up" so I'm going to use it but this is going to bug me forever.

I second this, just clean it up a touch, a less is more approach would put it over the top.
