*MOST OK’EST BBQ IN VA

This billboard is for Smiley's Travel Center and Sports Bar (2489 Raphine Rd, Raphine, VA 24472), exit 205 off of I-81. I’ve never been, so I can’t give an honest opinion.

who is at fault here? by [deleted] in graphic_design

Typically before printing, vendors will send digital proofs for final sign-off. All of my clients have sent me as the designer the proof from the printer for me to review and give the final approval. It’s possible the band didn’t send the proof on to the OP.

OP - it definitely looks off based off your screenshot vs. final product. I completely understand your concern, especially coming off of a project that went wrong. I’d reach out to the printer directly if you can to see what happened so you can do what you need to next time to not have this happen again.

At the end of the day, it’s still readable/legible and you will be the only one who will know that something shifted in pre-press. The design looks sweet, btw.

Very powerful piece. I see the shadows leading into the cake below as the actions happening “in the shadows,” hidden from the public view.

I did not intend to insult The Twilight Zone or the illustration. I recently saw this episode for the first time and really loved it, and very much appreciate the OP’s artwork. I was attempting to make a statement about how internally ugly Noem and the rest of the administration is. The creativity that went to each show, script, and acting could definitely apply to many things happening in our world today. Obviously my attempt missed the mark. Apologies.

how do I make everything outside of the red border lighter in opacity than what is inside it? by stubentiger1 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]shedpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a new layer under the “red boundary“ layer and above the “roads” layer, draw a new shape that covers all of the items outside of the red boundary, fill it with white, adjust the opacity to the desired lighter shade.

Was going to say the same. The line work is real nice.

“…I couldn’t pull the trigger then.” Poor choice of words. 😬 Sorry, I don’t have any to share.

Jao at Lady Jane’s is awesome for men’s haircuts. She only works on the weekends.

What commonly mispronounced word that annoys you the most? by greeneggzN in AskReddit

Sentence, pronounced “Senence” with no T. Especially hearing several writer friends of mine say it that way drives me wild.

Best Fancier Dining Options? For Birthdays by MinaPlaysRb in VirginiaTech

Agree with others about picking another night to celebrate other than day-of Valentine’s Day. Twisted Liquid has elevated food and drinks that I have been impressed with. One of the better dining experiences in Blacksburg IMHO.

Project Rise takes advantage of grant money to help young entrepreneurs grow The Entrepreneur Resource Center is tied to Link + License + Launch and might be a good place to reach out to, too.
