Advice From Print Design Professionals

Heinrich

When I was doing this graphic stuff it was Xpress, Illustrator and Photoshop. We used postscript for sending to the scanner and now it's Acrobat. If the program is capable of being translated to Acrobat that will work fine but beware of the settings and always print out a proof.

I also use Serif PagePlus and this works fine.

Now if a guy uses Publisher and it works then fine but otherwise he give the raw text and a model of what he wants laid out. On the other hand if the graphic artist starts toying around the publisher design with inDesign, Illustrator and Phortoshop he's offside. If he accepts the work he must state which type of file he needs and in default should give the client an estimate for the extra work.

I was in the print game for 35 years and have a reasonably good idea of where you are all coming from.;)

Sully, would you ever cop on... i edited the post to insert the pic (my way of saying that as far as i was concerned the whole sorry affair was over... try to leave the thing on a positive note)

nothing in the post was stupid, immature or highly unprofessional
(we're supposed to be professional posters? hands up who gets paid to post here...)

Maybe spend more time on certain aspects of certain things and you wouldn't feel so threatened by constructive criticism

Sorry but I felt you were just being immature with that post. If you wanted to come across another way, I guess its my fault for thinking opposite of you. I just got used to your posts that way, that's all.

Amusing Threatened? Very amusing. My Inbox awaits all your "constructive criticism".

you mentioned it to back up your claims, bragging about A+ basically saying we were wrong. I've nothing more to add to this anyway.

Of course I was using it to back up my claims , after all it was relevant.

If you are going to continue to insult me due to my age minikin then at least know that I am 18 so you can be factually correct in that at least .

Son? God you craic me up, you should come a professional entertainer!

As for that lame comment... we are not advertising on Boards. Seriously lad, come up with a better argument! Your letting your side down!

I've just deleted two posts of mine before posting them because I can't lock this thread if I say what I am really thinking right now. So instead of perpetuating this debacle I'm just going to lock it.

If this thread had started in any other forum it would have been moved to the Thunderdome ages ago.

With the exception of one or two lucid posts it's the worst feedback thread I've ever seen.

Very disappointing chaps.
