  1. Nope, no contract. I guess I didn't think it was necessary for a relatively small job like that, but I'll have to reconsider that in the future. I last emailed him about a month ago, and still no reply so it's looking like a lost cause at this point. What's the best way to go about creating a contract through email? And how much information should be on it? I know it could be tricky because even if I had created a contract with this guy, I might be in the same situation.
  2. Right now I'm in a situation that I'm sure others have dealt with before, so I'm looking for some guidance. A few months ago, someone contacted me through Dribbble asking for a few custom baseball scripts to be used on t-shirts as Christmas gifts. We agreed upon a price and within a day I sent him the first draft (a small jpeg). For a week we corresponded back and forth, and I sent him two more example images based on small changes he suggested. When I sent him what was probably going to be the final draft, I never got a reply. He had consistently replied for weeks, and then nothing. So in my mind there are two possibilities: either this guy died unexpectedly, or he stole my work without compensation. The drafts I sent were fairly small jpeg images, but they still could've been traced. I've now emailed him about once a week with no reply still. Any thoughts on what to do in this situation? I have really no way of tracking this person down, but through his Dribbble account I was able to find a Behance portfolio, and I just messaged him on there.
  3. Is anyone else blocked from viewing certain threads? I have Avast antivirus for my macbook, and almost every time I click on a thread that hasn't been posted in for a couple weeks, I get an "Infection blocked" message that says there is an HTML:Script-inf. I know there's probably nothing Chris can do, I'm just curious if anyone else with Avast is having the same problem.
  4. As far as I know, none of my work on this site has been stolen, but I can't say I'm completely sure about some of my other artwork. Is anyone else familiar with the site Redbubble? A few months ago I designed shirts for my brother and we needed a site to sell them through. I didn't end up using Redbubble, but I checked out some of the stuff on the site. I found that one of my designs (a Breaking Bad illustration I had only posted on dribbble at the time) had been stolen and was being used on a t-shirt (a poorly designed one at that). I contacted Redbubble and the user that posted it and he removed it from the site, saying "I didn't know it was yours, I found it on a Breaking Bad blog." Okay, he removed it, he didn't sell anything, so I should have nothing to worry about. But it still upsets me that this guy would see it on a blog and think it's okay to take it and try to make a profit. I don't really have a problem with my work being posted on tumblr because it's more like "hey, look at this cool thing I found," not outright theft. If you do some more searching on Redbubble, you'll see that a lot of their user-posted designs are either complete crap or copy-paste jobs of stolen art. I can't prove that any of them are stolen, but they just have that look to them. Of course, I could be a little paranoid because one of my designs was stolen. When I contacted Redbubble about my stolen art I also mentioned that they likely have more stolen work on their site but they gave no response.
  5. I absolute love the now "old" Charlotte Bobcats uniforms. Especially that shade of blue. One of the best looks in the league IMO. An orange alternate with this set would look great.
  6. It's weird to think that the Timberwolves still wore these during Kevin Garnett's rookie year. And oddly enough, I think the case can be made the KG may look out of place in any Minnesota uniform, even if he did spend the majority of his career there.
  7. That tool is pretty neat, but it doesn't quite do what I'm looking for. In the jersey I posted, you can see that the blue bars at the top of the jersey are pretty close together, but by the time they reach the bottom of the jersey, they're much farther apart. The blend tool does some cool stuff, but in the end, everything is equidistant... I'm looking for that gradually increasing interval. Thanks for the help! Try starting with two identical lines, and place them apart a little ways. Make one have a thick stroke, like say 10 pt or so. Then make the other smaller, about .5 pt. Then after you make the blend, go back to object > blend > blend options and choose specified steps. Choose a fairly high number of steps, and I think you will get the effect you're looking for.
  8. Use the blend feature. This can probably explain it to you better than I can.
  9. I don't know how unpopular that opinion actually is, but I strongly agree with you. Heck, I'd say it might even be the best, followed closely by the Falcons and Packers.
  10. Judging by the College Football thread, this seems to be an unpopular opinion. With a couple minor tweaks here and there, I think these are easily VT's best uniforms.
  11. Someone has to say it... cant beleive nobody thot of this but hornets 2 charlit jazz back too new orlins and teh bobcats can go 2 utah it wuld work perfictly!!!!1
  12. are you sure that 1001freefonts.com lets you scan in images and match them to a font? i can't seem to figure out how to do so... Whatthefont.com lets you do just that.
  13. JDayton, if you want to know an easy way to convert your drawings into paint then do this. Scan it onto your computer, then open it in paint. Use a bright neon green or any other bright color to outline it. Upload the image to photobucket, then go to edit the picture. To the right hand side of the screen it says "geek" I believe. Click on this and then click on the "curves" function. Bring down the line until it is very dark, but you can still see the bright outline you made. Go to "decorate" and then use the fill tool to fill in all the dark with white. Save it and copy it back into paint. There might be a few pixels here and there to touch up, but it usually works for me. Hope I did a good enough job explaining this to you and I hope this helps. Good luck and happy designing!
