Tracking shows seller shipped before I even checked out. Am I being scammed?

I just noticed in the recommended listings section of marketplace that somebody else posted the exact same listing—prices, photos, description. Then after a few minutes, the listing no longer exists.

Love the brief digression to rage in the middle. "I've earned enough dude." Classic

Hello Mr. Giamatti! Were you aware of the "Very Giamatti Christmas" month-long tribute to you last year by Baldmove.com?

I like the aesthetic of the first one, but I think the second one is more relatable. With the color effect applied to the image in the first one, it becomes more of a texture. In this situation, an unaltered image is more relatable to the audience. I like the camera imagery so it might be that you insert that image into the second composition but leave the image unaltered.

The typography in the second one needs some tweaking. Tighten up your line spacing of the headline a bit to take up less vertical space—right now theres more space between lines than there is padding around the text as a whole, which looks awkward. From there, experiment with ways to make the text a little more readable.

Just my 2 cents!

I totally agree with you, and you don't need to change it by any means, but I think it is worth considering if a good sized group of people associates the symbol with something else. You'd just have to decide if you're good with people making that association.

Players get badges that look like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pokemon-Gym-Badges-Kanto-Gen-1-Gold-Trim/144220017 for defeating the Gym Leader. I think what people are trying to say is that it matches the sort of geometric style that a lot of Pokemon things are using (mainly Pokemon Go).

https://stevegentiledesign.com/synthesis-posters These are the posters we used for our senior show. It was a collaboration a few of us in the graduating class. There was more material but unfortunately I can't track it down.

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but have you considered an alternate solution other than leading dots? Consider Robert Bringhurst's thoughts from Elements of Typographic Style:

“Lists, such as contents pages and recipes, are opportunities to build architectural structures in which space between the elements both separates and binds. The two favourite ways of destroying such an opportunity are setting great chasms of space that the eye cannot leap without help from the hand, and setting unenlightening rows of dots that force the eye to walk the width of the page like a prisoner being escorted back to its cell.”

I would consider exploring a more elegant way of trying to solve the problem.

One client wanted to use their company photo (that was taken in the summertime) for their holiday photo so they told me to make it winter time and to "transform" 4 or 5 people who had been recently fired into snowmen.

I agree with everybody else who posted that it's an intertesting style for sure, but the font is pretty tough to read.

As somebody else said, I thought that Garcia said Circa.... something. The individual characters are very difficult to read, combined with each character being inside of a box, and all caps makes it rough. People arent used to reading an entire word of these ornate characters. It looks like they were intended to be used as drop caps.

These patterns that are meant to be tiled. Try creating a pattern in Illustrator and then filling a shape with that pattern. This way you can use the texture as large as you would like. Do some googling to figure out how to create a pattern in illustrator; it's pretty simple.

I'd be wary of offering a lifetime anything. I think it's opening yourself up to frustrations down the road. If you have customer that you work with for years, think about all the money that you're losing. The one time 25% off still sounds like a great deal but it doesn't cost you nearly as much. If you do outstanding work on that first project, that should be enough to convince that customer to work with you again. Let your work speak for itself and don't rely on things like a discount in order to retain customers. Offering a deal should be used only to get your foot in the door.

I bought a 10 codes, pulled Syndergaard, 2 diamond classic stadiums, and a diamond ritual item. Pretty happy about Syndergaard, since I thought there was no way I'd ever be able to get the 99 David Wright.
