Arnaud, your Senatus Populusque Romanus (SPQR) designs are wonderful !!!
Have you posted a topic anywhere that describes how you make your beautiful vinyl stickers?
Looking forward to seeing your Greeks!
Hi Richard! Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you loved those. There is no thread about how to create designs with Photoshop. You need to learn (I took one three hour lesson, really necessary) and experiment (took me several months). What I think is essential is to have a pen tablet, because you'll need to draw lots of your designs and it's nearly impossible with a mouse. Then always remember a few things like: work with CMYB colour 300 dpi settings, and it's always better to draw a big design and to shrink it later to fit upon a small part (like a shield) than to enlarge a tiny one.
You'll need many trials for shapes, colours and sizes, but you'll manage!
I buy the vinyl in A4 sheets, fifty at a time, from a French shop, specialised in papers for printers, don't know if they would ship outside France. They're less than 2€ apiece. You waste a lot in the early stages, though. I think there's an on line shop for the US market called Papilio.
That's pretty much it. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Cheers,
Arnaud
