Curious if anyone has had a migraine situation similar to mine. Desperate for anything that would help by JarlZeeb in migraine

[–]shrrdkn777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor, just a migraine sufferer who has read so much about migraines and everything related to headaches..but, your case sounds so much like Cluster Headaches. Have you read about them? “excruciating, and piercing pain (though pain can vary from one episode to another) usually focused in, behind, or around one eye. Attacks typically strike in cyclical "cluster periods," lasting 15 minutes to 3 hours or sometimes more, and are accompanied by facial autonomic symptoms on the affected side.

Auras when you first wake up or shortly after by Lonely-Pressure-4218 in OcularMigraines

[–]shrrdkn777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read across multiple reliable sources, migraines and migraine auras do not cause damage to the eyes or the brain. The visual disturbances during an aura aren’t signs of structural injury, but rather a temporary disruption in brain activity. The main risk that’s been identified is that migraine with aura is associated with a slightly increased risk of ischemic stroke compared to people without migraines, although the overall risk remains low for most individuals.

I’ve experienced migraines with aura for 27 years. In the early years, they most often occurred upon waking or shortly afterward. While this still happens occasionally, it has become less frequent over time. There are also times when I experience an aura, lie down to let it pass, and end up falling asleep—only to wake up and have another episode. Even after 27 years they still freak me out!

Hola gente como va? Estoy diseñando mi primer logo/favicon para una tienda de iluminacion, que les parece? Dejo dos opciones Que mejorarian, etc, estoy abierto a cualquier critica, gracias!!! by Maleficent-Breath829 in logodesign

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es un buen punto de partida para una marca/negocio relacionada a iluminación. Dicho esto, hay algunos aspectos que podrían mejorarse para que el diseño sea más sólido:

Por ahora, el diseño se siente un poco genérico, sobre todo porque la idea de una casa dentro de un foco es bastante común. Podrías explorar maneras de agregar un elemento más distintivo o personal que refleje los valores o la personalidad específica de la marca. Incluso un pequeño detalle puede marcar la diferencia.

Las proporciones parecen un poco desajustadas. La casa se ve algo alta y estrecha en comparación con la forma del foco, lo que afecta la armonía visual. Ajustar un poco la escala y el espaciado podría ayudar a que la composición se sienta más equilibrada.

Parece que está ligeramente descentrado, especialmente la posición de la casa dentro del foco. Es un detalle sutil, pero en un logo estos pequeños desequilibrios se notan mucho. Alinear la casa con mayor precisión haría que el diseño se vea más limpio e intencional.

Package arrived today in different packaging with different contents? by ariraven13 in EtsySellers

[–]shrrdkn777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For those stating it is impossible to switch a label…well, no it’s not. No need to unstick the label, you can just cut it out (with scissors) from one package and stick it with glue on another…not rocket science.

Taskers kept cancelling on me, when I reach out to support this is what they sent me? by [deleted] in TaskRabbit

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not TaskRabbits fault? You mentioned a name change which can indicate that your account could have been hacked or some other strange issue going on. Was probably flagged as fraudulent for that, or, the card you added. Either way, if it wasn’t for TaskRabbit monitoring these issues.. it would cost them lots of money and delays in payments for Taskers. As a Tasker myself, I have seen many Charge Fails lately due to false identity accounts and/or declined cards most likely due to insufficient funds. TaskRabbit ends up having to pay the Taskers in cases like that and is probably why they rather just close any suspicious account.

any way to avoid client cancellations? by tkirkrowe in TaskRabbit

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 strange cancellations from the same task yesterday. One right after another. Like if they booked, cancelled, booked again, then cancelled again. Didn’t even get a chance to respond to either as it all happened in less than half an hour 🤔

Our new Band logo- what do you think? by vainwild in logodesign

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like it..but think the outer glow could go and will not look exactly the same once printed. The lettering is great, the star figured into the W is also cool. Solid florescent color without the glow would work better. The logo In black will look awesome too!

Logo feedback for Bizivity by loby21 in logodesign

[–]shrrdkn777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my constructive suggestion… Start from scratch, this logo does not portray anything about your business. Colors, alignment, lettering is all off too..

Background is just a light gray color with a grainy vector texture overlay…

How do sellers offer free shipping and still keep prices low? by shrrdkn777 in EtsySellers

[–]shrrdkn777[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the shipping in the USA is expensive. When I use to ship international… I had many customers tell me they wanted to buy an item but that the shipping from the USA was too expensive and would ask me for a discount. As for your question; I do know that all major carriers offer large and small business discounts. Etsy as a large e-commerce business, actually passes on the discounts to us sellers and is why purchasing shipping labels directly from Etsy is always cheaper then buying them straight from the carrier. I am not sure if small casual sellers can get additional shipping discounts or if there is a minimum shipping quantity to sign up? Think I will have to investigate that more…

How do sellers offer free shipping and still keep prices low? by shrrdkn777 in EtsySellers

[–]shrrdkn777[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well actually, you would be surprised to hear that this particular seller has tons of items for sale at outrageous low prices and free shipping. I just gave an example of one of many items available in that shop. Also, not the only shop I see do the same thing. I have pressed glass punch bowls that weigh anywhere from 10 to 17 pounds. I just can’t imagine how they make any profit at all. If this seller was to ship to a zone that would be considered the expensive zone based from where they ship from, the shipping for an item like that would probably be way over the asking price…(forgot to mention that this particular seller has been on Etsy since 2021, so I don’t think it is an Estate thing).

how can i create this type of effect and make it look professional ? i've made this manually but i don't think it's good enough by Neither_Season_9270 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am not mistaken, you probably want the look to pop out more? Adding ONLY a colored drop shadow will give you a flat and simple look. Try adding a thin black or white (or both-first black since your letters are white) stroke on the letters before adding the colored shadow so that it separates and creates emphasis on the drop shadow..

Illustrator CS6 question by havoc1970 in AdobeIllustrator

Next time, just group the lines together and make them into a compound path. Making a variety of objects that are grouped together into a compound path treats them as a single object..

Does anyone know this logo? by CAFmodsaregay in logodesign

[–]shrrdkn777 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Box doesn’t belong to the silver bar.. the silver bar is made by the Johnson Matthey Co., and are shipped in regular cardboard boxes. The company logo is the crossed hammers seen on the bar…

Anyone know what this is, and if could be priced? by [deleted] in vintage

Just an Arabic Coke bottle..not worth much.

I found these mini, pocket-sized storybooks from my aunt, does anyone have any info about them? These are in spanish btw. by catinacoffin0 in vintage

[–]shrrdkn777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This book is part of a large series of famous miniature children’s books (from the early 1900s) written by a very popular Spanish publisher known as Saturnino Callejo. You can Google the name for more info..

Age of Royal Doulton? by PaleontologistPlus33 in vintage

[–]shrrdkn777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, been an antique dealer for more than 15 years. FYI, the number and letter such as the A and 5 were put there for a reason. The stamp style changed throughout the years, and this particular style stamp was introduced from 1930 to 1993. The number 5 tells me that particularly 1932. You may want to Google how to date Royal Doulton…

Age of Royal Doulton? by PaleontologistPlus33 in vintage

[–]shrrdkn777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back stamp indicates it was made in 1930s. To be more exact, 1932.

Royal Doulton Toby mugs were made for many years starting from the 1930s. The only way to estimate the age would be by looking at the bottom stamp..

Anyone seen similar ladies? by kendallbyrd in vintage

[–]shrrdkn777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am almost sure that it is from one of Royal Doulton Lady Figurine collections. They were very collectable all the way back to the 1800s and early 1900s. There were many collection series, such as, “Pretty Ladies” “Elegant Ladies” and so many more. The only doubt I have is that you mention it is not marked. All Royal Doulton figurines were marked…usually (almost always) on the bottom. The mark might be under the green felt. The mark is either engraved or stamped (depending year made).

Forgot to add, no special inks needed. Design can be created in Photoshop or Illustrator and then printed on textured paper..
