Title: Small artwork request (puurdy please!)
Post by: Franco on December 20, 2005, 04:19:50 pm: I want to get some new slipmats for my decks (turntables for the older gen ;) ) but I would like something funkier than the ones you can buy off the shelf.

I know a company that will make slipmats from your own artwork and I would love a pair of thundercats ones.

I have a suitable image but it is so small that when it is stretched to full size it will look awfull. I was wondering if some kind chap or chapess (females on this forum, yeah right! :)) would mind helpiong me make a clean 12" version of the artwork I have in mind. I think that the company only accept .jpg's or bmp's so I don't know if you would vectorise it and then turn it into a jpg/bmp after strectching it, anyway ill leave that part up to you as you are the pro's after all.

I would be forever in your gratitude if you could help.

This is the image I have in mind:

While im thinking about it has anyone got any suggestions to improve the design or do you think I should leave it in all its basic glory?

Post by: questionallthings on December 20, 2005, 04:47:41 pm: Yeah changing it would be blasphemous. And a PM will be fine. Just need to make sure I remember :) lol.

Post by: Franco on December 20, 2005, 04:49:26 pm: Ahh, of couse its a classic, I wasn't on about the logo itself, more about maybe the outer rim etc. Maybe somethind like red and black rings instead of a fully black ring or possily a slight red spiral starting at the outer diameter and going through the black ring if you get my drift.
