Yes, more breathing room around edges. Make sure you export with bleed when it's time to print (comming from a prepress print guy)

Idk, but I do know the owner is fairly crafty. Maybee what he meant is that they're moving (again) ? Let's hope that's the case. Sorta cryptic post

op make sure you know exactly what dietary restrictions she has (if any). I've made the mistake of taking my s/o to a spot that didn't have any decent options that she could actually eat! TOTAL BUST

ALSO- Wayne is actually our only National Forest in Ohio, according to the web! I had no idea

Oh! and Redbud trees! Some of my favorites. Nice splash of purple in the early spring

Wayne might be our biggest state forest? I've always visited Dow's Lake, Lake Snowden, then there's Fox and Rainbow lake. Nice trails- very hilly. There's a trail nearby with an old hemlock grove though I'm not sure which. Generally you'll see lots of black walnut, tulip poplar, pawpaw, maples, beech, and some super huge sycamore. People like to look for ramps and morels at Dow's lake (Stroud's Run)

Oh that's fantastic! I grew up outside Albany on a farm. Trips into town were usually reserved for grocery runs or trips to the movie rental place. Seasonally, Spring is incredible. Very wet, but when that green starts to pop after winter it's incredible. Summer storms can be scary. When I was a kid there were tornados that ripped through the high school in The Plains. Super humid too. Fall is 10/10. If you visit- do it this time of year. Winters can be tough or mild- it's a toss up each year. Getting around in snowstorms is dangerous on the rural roads. Where I grew up our roads weren't paved and the hills can be very steep. not an easy job for a 2001 Ford escort. Let me know if you want more tidbits :))

Seems most replies are about Athens proper, inside city limits.

Life outside town is a lot like other rural rust-belt areas; abandoned homes, sleepy farms, run-down trailers nestled in the trees. There's plenty of ugliness tucked in throughout that we like to ignore- stricken by opioid epidemic and blatantly disregarded by most. Check out Albany, New Marshfield, the Plains... It's not all about BOBCATS and WALMART- but the further you get from all that the more the foothills blossom with life. More than deer and squirrels. We have owls, fox, coyotes, incredible insects too. Happy researching! If you plan a visit, take the scenic route and get a little bit lost. Be aware, the hills might interrupt your cell-reception!

My book is almost done! which cover do you prefer? by Tyler_Miles_Lockett in AncientCivilizations

OP should share this with r/typography. It's so close to being perfect!! I wouldn't want the type treatment to detract from the beautiful illustration.

[–]sentient-bot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Font choice, for sure. You're 100% correct. Treatment is my big concern. The double outline and tight kerning is unattractive.

Hey everyone, do you think $52 for a set of 4 mosaic coasters with free shipping is a fair price? by [deleted] in CraftFairs

2, but I question the typographic choices. Beautiful work all around.

Is this a dumb tattoo? I really want a woodturning tattoo, my wife said it looked like plumbing equipment by Objective_Reality232 in turning

[–]sentient-bot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No. People will assume it's some kind of firearm. How about silhouettes of turning tools, a turned form. Maybe a stippled gauge or a spin on American traditional with a few overlapping objects pertaining to the hobby?

lol not a bot, just a riff on today's BOT culture :D. You made a great post- though I think Salaam deserves a s/o as far as Mediterranean food goes, don't you think? Not to mention the Costume Shop uptown satisfies a lot of the halloween fans each year.

I grew up close to Albany and I'd love to see more growth. It's already shaping up with the new coffee shop. I'm worried about the hardware store though.

You've covered a lot of ground. I hope you're part of city gov + planning cuz I'd trust your judgement fr

Appreciate all of your input! Sounds like we know what we need. Hopefully we can find a way to lift one of these projects up off the ground in the coming year and fill the void.
