lol @antonye - thanks for the continuing input ....I have already played with character size and spacing and I think the above is the best compromise. In the absense of a graphics guru doing a better job for me, here's the graphic from that first mock up with 3 slight variations depicted to demonstrate appearance against different paint/plastics backgrounds. ......votes please ;-) Thanks EDIT: OK HOLD FIRE........SCREWED UP THE IMAGES SOMEHOW! EDIT: sorted now
The images in this post: http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f18/any-graphics-photoshop-gurus-11022/#post163925 Nb: I've caused some confusion with the labelling: 1a to d are the same design so 1a is the same as 1b, 1c and 1d but shown against different colour background. Same for 2a to d which is a slight design variation as is 3a to d. Each set of 4 shown to give an idea of what each sticker might look like on different bike colours ;-) Maybe this will help, all three side by side... larger version here and larger still here.
I must be colour/font blind as they all look the same to me. My opinion on your choice is--- I like , it's small enough to be discrete ,colour correct, and model specific, I think you've done a good Job so it's a thumbs up from me.
If you close the spacing between the 'w's and also compress them horizontally, you could probably even up the red and green sectors..... A bit like this, only keeping the 'w's nearer to their original line weight. AL
Thanks, I had tried reducing the character spacing (kerning)........but not 'compressing' the www text horizontally. I would have to have the www as a separate text object to the rest of the text so I wonder if that may cause issues on resizing/scaling the image for printing i.e. I will send the printer a .eps or similar file so that the text remains as a vector and so scalable without lost of quality. Something else I'll have to try! Meantime JohnW persuaded me to have another attempt at angling the ends of the graphic.... Possibility with some finessing....need to figure how to add a slight radius / rounding to the 4 corners.
