--- Quote ---06b: The outter ring is like the 2004 token with text embossed The cocktail cabinet is all raised with the detail lines debossed [light grey] What are your thoughts??? --- End quote --- 6B!!!! Raise the cab deboss the lines. I wish I had done that on last years. Otherwise the cab will feel to outlined - made out of ridges. I struggled a lot with that decision on mine and wish I had gone the other route. Raised cab. Lowered outlines. I love this design, but don't care for the woodgrain. |

--- Quote ---I will take a look at the AI art from Pixel to see if I can establish the smallest line. Does anyone know where to find that in Illustrator? --- End quote --- Per the mint the minimum line width is .002". I think i kept my lines to a minimum of .003 or .004. In the case of the 2005 legibility ( :-[) I think the problem isn't that any line on the number is too small IE below .002 but rather that the space between parts of the number is less than that. Just out of curiosity what software are people desigining these in... vector based (Illustrator etc) or raster based (Photoshop/Paint Shop etc)? I only ask because raster based art is going to be very difficult to bling well unless the art is very high resolution. In my files that meant a token measurement of about 2500 pixels diameter or greater. Santoro- You can check dimensions under the "Transform" palette in AI. |

Everyone, when you are done tweaking yor designs, please say so. I will be starting a summary thread soon and want to link to 'final candidates' there. |

For what it's worth.... A while ago I had some professional Latin translations done for a project. I tossed the following into the job figuring they might come in handy at some point here. The Game is Never Over: Ludus numquam finitus est. I game therefore I am: Ludo ergo sum. I really liked the idea (from the first run?) of a latin phrase on the token to parody a real coin. Though slogans have always caused a lot of dissent in these threads. Just there for anyone to use if they want. |
