In spite of the hurricane, I managed to make one of my stickers, and get it on the car. The media works well, but uses a lot of ink. The oval stickers are a pain because they require cutting around the oval with an exacto knife, then carefully sanding the edge with medium sandpaper to remove the imperfections left by the knife.

Mike, you are an absolute genious!!!! That would work as a sticker, a t-shirt, perhaps and dare I say, I may have finally found the tatoo I have been trying to think of all these years.............N1095A wrote:Steve wrote:I love the idea of the "Did you see the sunrise?" if you could do somehow do it with the sun rising on the shot of the tidal pool...............
That is just flat-out awesome. The color of the letters may need a bit a tweaking to make it contrast beter with the background but over al it's excellent. Doesn't Cafe Press take orders like these?N1095A wrote:Steve wrote:I love the idea of the "Did you see the sunrise?" if you could do somehow do it with the sun rising on the shot of the tidal pool...............

Yes, yes, yes. Awesome photoshopping. Text needs some tweaking to punch a bit, but overall, the concept is excellent.Coops wrote:That is just flat-out awesome.

Maybe even gold, to blend in the team ring color . . . .

...and another test with the ring glow reflected in the lettering...
Cool how the gold gradient emulates the sunrise effect...
I like it sans question mark. More aligned with the mood and tone of the scene whence it came.
and no quote marks makes it more of a theme. artlike... rather than perfunctory copy thrown onto a b.g.
