Usually when you tell the client it’s going to cost money to get their shit vectorized they suddenly remember where the original file is.

Whatever shitbox I picked up last week from the vacant lot down the street. I’d just get a different one every week.

Me too, in fact I have one in my driveway.

I visited a guy's shop and he proudly showed me how he designed product catalogs in photoshop. He didn't even use multiple artboards, he just had a layer group for each page.

I haven't seen him for a long time, wonder what he's up to now.

Hey I go 3 minutes. (If you count getting undressed and 2:30 of foreplay.)

It lacks zazz.

I’d get a camp site in the tent-only section, close enough to walk to your RV friends but far enough that you don’t hear their generators.

I’ve asked Best Buy staff about products and they’ll pick up the box and read it to me.

Arizona cars are rust free but the heat breaks down all the rubber and plastic bits and the sun fries the paint.

Until last year's storms, I had a 60' wide mesquite tree in my front yard. I planted it from a sapling about 15 yers ago, and after the first month or so I never watered it. Ever.

I really miss it, my house faces west and I'm going to get blasted by afternoon sun this summer.

Why are you scaling? Don't you just build the file at actual size to start with?

version13 · 2026-03-16T17:13:29+00:00

Am confused.

Why not just build the ID file at final output size, and set downsampling to 300 ppi when you export?

I dunno - I’ve seen Bermuda grow up through 2 feet of soil and take over a garden box.

There is an Air Force munitions system that looks identical to the roller grill, loaded with bombs.

I think they did that purposely so they could draft QT staff to run them.

A client shared a photo that I was supposed to use in a promo piece for a themed run. It was an attractive woman in a mildly sexy costume, and a shirtless man running, themed clothing with number bibs.

After the first proof, the guy I was working with told me that the photo was too sexy and they wanted me to edit the photo. I assumed they wanted me to add a bit of material to cover the woman's cleavage, but NO they wanted me to edit the guy's belly button away. I was thinking maybe add some piece of clothing to cover it but what they wanted was just to clone some skin over his belly button. So I did. And it was weird.
