Mellow Yellow Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 I only have your work email.. email me if you have another address I'm not 100% sure how to enlarge you avatar. I assume it comes from a larger picture? Someione on this board has to have software that would enlarge your avatar to the correct size...

Hagen Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Shred, Here is the info on how they want you to send your graphics: We recommend you design your graphics in Illustrator, Photoshop, or Coreldraw full size at least 200 dpi and send us the disk (or email the file if it is under 5 megabytes). We do not guarantee hitting pantone colors exactly but get pretty close usually. Any number of colors is fine (art, photos etc are OK) - you simply design in RGB or CMYK We recommend designing the graphic rectangular in shape at 13" wide by about 2" longer than you need to allow for shrinkage and bleed Cost is $39 including material for topsheets and $45 for bases including a white flood coat behind the graphic, Price assumes we do not have to work on your file. If we do we will contact you with a quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks for the info! Nope ain't got any of that software,, Im sure I could come up with something.. Dang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Wow, that's gonna be one hyooge file at 200 dpi and 76" X 13" full size. Shred, any decent photo editor can resize a picture but I don't think that icon will blow up big enough without looking like crap. Much better if you could find a larger original.

Hagen Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Shred, You can get the Gimp to create your graphic. It's a free photo editing software. It should have all the features that you need. I guess you can send the guys at snowboardmaterials a jpeg of your graphic - if it's mainly one color and only some graphics on the tip/tail of the board then it shouldn't be too big to e-mail...

Shred Gruumer Posted November 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Bob, anything would help even if its close,,i don't have anything so its gotta be better than that!!! I guess these guys have to have it exactly to size! to what ever was said in the above post is what has to happen.. Again its a custom shape with a stubby nose and a radius cut out on the tail! So leave room on the tail so the Coiler logo doesn't get chopped..Id say bout 4 inches! Let me know what ya can do as soon as possible.. Sorry for bieng a hand out on this one.. but its Christmas!!

Scott Firestone Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Here ya go. I made it with Adobe Illustrator at actual size. The total size is what they want (13" wide). The white box is the approximate outline of the board. It's vector so the output image can be any DPI, and can be easily embellished with other details/images.
